Today’s “Word of the Day” is “rectitude“ and it is a noun meaning “righteousness, goodness, virtue, morality, honour, probity, honesty, right-mindedness, trustworthiness, truthfulness, uprightness”.
Example Sentence: Four men embodied the vision of free India in the 1940s – Gandhi, Nehru, Patel and Ambedkar. Gandhi’s moral rectitude, allied to Jawaharlal Nehru’s political passion, fashioned both the strategy and tactics for the struggle against British rule. Sardar Patel’s firm hand on the administration integrated the nation and established peace and stability. Ambedkar’s erudition (academic knowledge) and legal acumen helped translate the dreams of a generation into a working legal document that laid the foundations for an enduring democracy.
