Phrase of the Day (jump on the bandwagon)-23FEB23

Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “jump on the bandwagon” and its meaning is “to suddenly join something (an activity) that has already become popular/successful (so that you can also get the benefits of it); to join the trend”.

Example Sentence: Since the 1960s, India has made many attempts to jump on the U.S. technology bandwagon. But all of them have failed, primarily because of the mismatch between the two countries on the purposes for which they collaborated. The ICET is perhaps better positioned. Unlike the earlier iterations, it comes at a time when India, too, has developed technological and managerial capacities and is emerging as a major economic power.
