If we go back into history:

America broken up in two words as ‘Amar’-‘ica’.

In Sanskrit the word ‘Amar’ means ‘forever’.

Ikka in Sanskrit mean ‘Ace’.

So if we sum it all up it means the ‘Ace Forever’.

No wonder we have people flocking here in search of the ‘American Dream’. I have never come across something such as the ‘chinese dream’ or the ‘british dream’. Honestly.

So much so if we look carefully it has been predicted that this is a country that is to remain forever. Nostradamus once predicted that no one can really significantly inflict harm on this part of the world but ‘natural disasters’. If we go by the track record that’s preceisly what has happened. In the previous world wars etc. this country was never a war front unlike the UK and parts of Europe.

btw……..I am neither American…..nor amI trying to be biased in any way.

Also the reason I tried to define it in Sanskrit is ‘cos that many words of the English language themselves were derived out of Latin which shows its roots in Sanskrit.

P.S. Just to back up my claim of reference in Sanskrit

Latin

Along with Greek, Vedic Asia Minor was also the cradle of Latin. Probably as a result of the break-up of the Vedic Hittite empire in Mesopotamia, a people later known as Etruscans first appeared in the Etruria region of Italy around 900 BC, from where, during succeeding centuries, they spread to other Italian areas including Latium, the birth-place of Latin. Later, because of the political dominance of the Roman Empire, Latin became the common language for centuries. This in turn spread Sanskrit roots to languages of Europe.

This writer has identified 130 Latin words in the COD that have a Sanskrit base. Also, as pointed out previously, a number of Latin prefixes are derived from Sanskrit.

These numerically meagre identifications in this article are clearly inadequate for qualifying it as serious research. However, even this preliminary collation of available information does indicate the global presence of Sanskrit—at times just a trace, at times quite clear. So perhaps some Sanskritists and linguists could team up to establish beyond doubt the truth of a quote with which the writer would like to conclude:

“Sanskrit was the original language of the earth.”

—Hallhead

(Quoted in Indian antiquities, Vol. IV; Ed. Thomas Maurice)

(Digest of Sanskrit Abroad! An International Glossary of Sanskrit-based Words in 80 Languages around the World, compiled and edited by the author, and currently under print.)

For someone who doesn’t buy into this theory either present a counter theory or live in ignorance. Becos honestly invalidating these hard facts takes a lot. and with the kind of answers I see above 🙂 ic people really dont know ****! 🙂

Henceforth, whether someone accepts it or not really doesn’t mean much to me, rather, in other words i really don’t give a ****! 🙂

Too undesirable they did no longer say it to Republicans. The chinese language do understand the cost of making an investment in guidance, pondering the style of workstation engineering graduates you are able to guess that they’ve some tremendously fancy hardware of their faculties. They make investments much greater in guidance than united statesa. does. in addition they have state supported healthcare and state run well being clinics. because of the fact which you think of the chinese language are so smart, consistent with probability we would desire to consistently additionally stick to their occasion of offering loose start administration, loose abortion, and fining each family that has greater advantageous than one baby. i’m going to take a rustic it particularly is a little greater on the liberal element.

It was once defined as a place where people were morally obligated and where doing what was right was the way to go. Also, America was once a place where you could take pride in your Savior, Christ Jesus.

Now, it is a wasteland of whiny self-strung liberals and illegal immigrants, who spit at the word of Jesus.
