diffident  

For Indo-Trinidadians, learning Standard Hindi is as good as learning an alien language. In fact, most of those who have learnt Standard Hindi become diffident, and even apologetic, when they have to use that language in interacting with Indian nationals. -- Jayaram, “The Indian Diaspora: Dynamics of Migration”, Sage Publications, 2004

ameliorate  

“The state is aware that the policeman is the son of either a farmer or a worker. He suffers from the same social and economic handicaps as the others who are engaged in the relentless struggle to ameliorate their condition.” – Bakshi, Sharma, Gajrani, “ Contemporary Political Leadership in India: George Fernandes”, July 1998
