Your comaparison is not correct. you have to comapare India with European countries which are separate countries because of language and some cultural differences. Britishers made India one country. Prior to that they were different little small countries. USA is homogenous because of all the settlers from Britain. Italians and others joined them later so the adapted to english language and American culture.

It shows your ignorance in History. For your kind information. USA is not a country of natives. USA is a settlement land for many of the Europeans. That is why you see a mix of European surnames in the USA.
When the people are not original sons of the soil, how would they identify themselves as Californian or New Jersian.

completely agree with this, even if they are not the sons of the soil, why should be identify themselves for their states and not the country. i fear the next thing they would want is to have those states made countries out of india.

There is a fear in US about hispanic settlers. Spanish may become another laguage in future. They will have problems as it becomes more multi cultural and immigrant population becomes considerable in ratio to main and start demanding their language and culture. right now asians are invisible minority who have adapted to American culture.
