"United we stand,
divided we fall" is a phrase used in many different kinds of mottos, most
often to inspire unity and collaboration. 'Unity is strength' is a very popular
saying A house divided against itself cannot stand. What is true of an
individual is also true of a nation. A nation which is united is strong, while
one which is broken into fragments and divided within itself finds it difficult
to resist an enemy in any form. One person alone cannot do everything. He/ she
requires a team to accomplish particular goals. When a group gets divided, each
of its members falls. This is so because unity is essential to carry out
specific tasks.
Since childhood, children learn
various stories on integration. Even the elders always tell us to stay united
and not fight amongst each other. This is so because everyone is aware of the
fact that unity is essential in every field to get successful. It was the lack of unity that weakened our nation and we lost our
freedom. History is witness to many such events that brought about the
destruction of nations. We suffered at the hands of the British owing to this
weakness. The internal misunderstandings and quarrels among the Kings and
Maharajas made it possible for the Britishers to exploit the situation and
conquer our country by resorting to divide and rule'. They initially had come
only to trade but finally became rulers. They followed the policy of divide and
rule and became successful.
But as soon as the leaders
and people united against them. they were forced into quitting forever.
Therefore the saying is applicable in all fields of life. We should remember,
it is easy to break one stick at a time but a bundle of sticks cannot be broken
and the saying, United we stand, Divided we fall.
