From 13 to 50 States of America
April 14, 2009
In its beginnings, the United States of America consisted only of the Thirteen Colonies, which consisted of states occupying the same lands as when they were British colonies.
American colonists fought off the British army in the American Revolutionary War of the 1770s and issued a Declaration of Independence in 1776. Seven years later, the signing of the Treaty of Paris officially recognized independence from Britain.
In the nineteenth century, westward expansion of United States territory began, upon the belief of Manifest Destiny, in which the United States would occupy all the North American land east to west, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.
By 1912, with the admission of Arizona to the Union, the U.S. reached that goal. The outlying states of Alaska and Hawaii were both admitted in 1959.
Acquisition is a natural process. In the business world, especially, the bigger giants acquire the start-up companies.
In fact the start-up companies want to be acquired by bigger ones. The promoters get their share of huge margin of profit. The employees of the small firm are generally happy to become the part of the bigger corporations.
Likewise, now, everyone wish to be part of India. India is a great place to live. People of India - all are equal. Each individual enjoy total and complete freedom; freedom of speech; freedom of expression.
Experiments have been going on with the democracy in India. Very soon, all the defects in the system will be corrected. Federal system will be established. The states will have more autonomous power. The city government will be effective.
The people in India will feel safe and secure. Then naturally there will be more economic growth; financial freedom.
After days hard work, the people will enjoy the sports, music, songs and film entertainments.
Certainly India will become a developed nation with the best place for living on Planet Earth. All these developments will be achieved without sacrificing the tradition, human value and culture.
The people of India will be living a satisfied life, both inner and outer.
All our neighbors would like to be the part of the whole.
For discussion, let us take the Ceylon.
When Ceylon becomes part of United States of India, all will be treated equal.
The current people of sri lanka, will all get equal rights.
From Colombo to Kashmir will be one country. Just like birds, the people can move freely by road, by sea or by air.
The cricketers from sri lanka will get the reputation and money too, of Sachin. The film artists will have bigger market. Business establishments can reach a huge market.
Almost all the people of sri lanka will welcome it. In fact, once sri lanka become part of the United States of India, just like the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin was the candidate for the Vice President of United States of America, there are chances that, Mayor of Kandy can become the candidate for the President of United States of India.
If the people of sri lanka express their desire to become a part of the whole, part of the union,
part of the United States of India, that will happen; no one can stop people's wish.
If you look at the history, when the leaders treat their action as success and defeat,
then at the end, they face defeat only.
Success is temporary. Defeat is History.
No one is invincible.
Hitler thought that with his mighty military power, he was invincible.
Winston Churchill defeated him, with his leadership qualities.
Winston Churchill thought that with his leadership qualities, he was invincible. Gandhi defeated him, with his innovation. Winston Churchill lost the 1945 election, mainly because of Gandhi's fight for the freedom.
Gandhi thought that with his innovation, he was invincible.
But the partition was the total failure for Gandhi.
So, no one is invincible.
Victory is temporary. Defeat is History.
