hobson’s choice विकल्पहीनता, निर्विकल्पता, विवशता, बेकसी, लाचारी, बेचारगी Explanation: It means lack of choice and you may make a choice to select any of the available options. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days9 hrs (2008-10-06 17:41:34 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Hobson's choice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Hobson's choice (disambiguation). A Hobson's choice is a free choice in which only one option is offered, and one may refuse to take that option. The choice is therefore between taking the option or not taking it, colloquially formulated as "take it or leave it." The phrase "Hobson's choice" is said to originate from Thomas Hobson (1544–1630), a livery stable owner at Cambridge, England who, in order to rotate the use of his horses, offered customers the choice of either taking the horse in the stall nearest the door or taking none at all. Hobson's choice is different from: a true choice between two (or more) options, blackmail (Have something rendered a way you do not want), extortion (do something or suffer unpleasant consequences of some other sort), a Catch-22 or Morton's Fork situation (all choices yield equivalent, often undesirable results). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobson's_choice |
