🔍 Word of the Day: Incorrigible
Pronunciation: /ɪnˈkɒrɪdʒəbəl/ (in-KOR-ij-uh-buhl)
Meaning: Incapable of being corrected, reformed, or restrained; stubbornly persistent in bad behavior.
🌍 Parichay (Introduction)
5 September 1972 ko ek aisa moment aaya jahan Olympic peace aur international horror ek saath takra gaye. Palestinian terrorist group Black September ne Israeli Olympic team ke khilaaf ek violent attack launch kiya, jisme 11 athletes aur coaches ki jaan chali gayi.
Yeh action ek incorrigible extremism ka pramaan tha—ek aisa group jo diplomacy ya human values se pare tha, aur jiska rukh uncompromising violence ke saath define hota tha.
“Incorrigible” ka arth hota hai aisa vyakti ya group jise sudhaara nahi ja sakta, jo apne destructive ya negative path par hi chalta rahta hai—chahe samaj, kanoon, ya morality kuch bhi kahe.
🌱 Shabd ka Utpatti (Etymology)
“Incorrigible” bana hai:
- In- (prefix): “Not”
- Corrigere (Latin): “To correct”
- -ible: “Capable of being”
Literal meaning: “Not capable of being corrected.” Yeh word pehle criminal behavior aur moral stubbornness ke liye use hota tha, lekin aaj yeh reform-resistant individuals ya ideologies ke liye bhi use hota hai.

🏛️ Itihasik Sandarbh (Historical Context)
Olympic Games ka aim hota hai shanti, unity, aur international cooperation. Lekin 1972 ke Munich Olympics me sab badal gaya, jab Black September group ne Israeli athletes ko hostage banaya.
Yeh group Israeli jails me band Palestinian prisoners ki release ki demand kar raha tha. Negotiation fail hone ke baad, German police aur military ke flawed rescue operation ke chalte sabhi 11 hostages maar diye gaye.
Is event ne global stage par terrorism ka incorrigible face dikhaya—jo kisi bhi boundary, ethics ya human decency se pare tha.
