Example: This was reflected in the camaraderie between the two Prime Ministers, who spent practically every waking moment together.


1. Camaraderie [kah-muh-rah-duh-ree, -rad-uh-, kam-uh-]

Synonyms: abrogation, cancellation, disapproval, disavowal, refusal.
Antonyms: approval, acknowledgement, confirmation, ratification.
Example: India’s evolving ties with Israel no doubt are based on pragmatism and the desire to eschew hypocrisy — but Mr Modi has infused his visit with a symbolism and substance that could well mark a point of departure in India’s moral support to the Palestinian cause.
3. Pragmatism [prag-muh-tiz-uh m] 
Noun: character or conduct that emphasises practicality; a philosophical movement or system having various forms, but generally stressing practical consequences as constituting the essential criterion in determining meaning, truth, or value.

Synonyms: animate, imbue, impart, impregnate, inculcate, inspire, instill, intersperse, invest, leaven, permeate, pervade, saturate.
Antonyms: dehydrate, discourage, dry, take out.
Example: Perhaps this is why Mr. Modi’s address to Israelis of Indian origin in Tel Aviv, with a promise to address visa issues and improve air connectivity, had an emotional pitch different from his meetings with the diaspora elsewhere in the world.
7. Diaspora [dahy-as-per-uh, dee-] 
Noun: (usually initial capital letter) the scattering of the Jews to countries outside of Palestine after the Babylonian captivity; (often initial capital letter) the body of Jews living in countries outside Israel; (often initial capital letter) such countries collectively; any group migration or flight from a country or region.
