Maybe I should have said India better holds together than the U.S. It seems to me that China and Russia are trying to divide and conquer America from inside just like the English tried to divide and conquer India from the inside before they finally had to leave. And some Indians are feeling uncomfortable living in America because its almost any immigration is being seen as negative.
Well, the British divided us yes, from the inside. But now, we are dividing ourselves. Often, we divide ourselves, and ascribe all the blame to others. If the Chinese and Russians are dividing Americans, it is also because Americans allow this to happen.
Excellent discussion of history being falsified. Social media have replaced books to a large extent because people often prefer the short version which isn't always as complete. Many people seem content to take important decisions based on limited information. Some articles are more more thorough than others with more info, references, bibliographies and footnotes with additional information. One needs to obtain as much information as a detective if one is get a definitive answer to any questions. Politicians to easily tell lies or mistate the truth believing that there are more votes to be gotten through lying and fewer from telling the truth. Truth is so much more difficult to digest. With all this, India seems to hold together better than the U.S. which seems ever more divided although there is very slight progress back towards the middle.

Totally agree with you on the ascribe all blame to others. I agree Americans let themselves be divided. Is just the times we are living in.

I am not sure we hold well together!
