Today’s “Word of the Day” is “partake“ and it is a verb meaning “participate in, take part in, engage in, enter into, join in, get involved in, play a part in, contribute to (an activity)”.
Example Sentence: The Andhra Pradesh law sought to carve four distinct categories out of the President’s list and granted to each category a separate quota based on its inter se backwardness. The Court found that the State government had no power to tinker with the list because it was clear on a bare reading of Article 341 that such authority vested only with Parliament. The judgment also pointed to B.R. Ambedkar’s speech in defence of the presidential list, in which he had warned that if State governments were allowed to amend the list, we ran the risk of the exercise partaking purely political considerations.
