🔍 Word of the Day: Indubitable
Pronunciation: /ɪnˈduːbɪtəbəl/ (in-DOO-bi-tuh-buhl)
Meaning: Impossible to doubt; unquestionable; absolutely certain.
🌍 Parichay (Introduction)
9 September 1776—Continental Congress ne ek formal decision liya jo American history ka foundation ban gaya: unhone apne nayi rashtra ka naam rakha—“United States of America.”
Is declaration ke baad, rebellious colonies ab ek indubitable identity ke saath saamne aaye—ek aisa naam jo global recognition ka anchor ban gaya. Yuddh, confusion, aur uncertainty ke beech bhi, yeh naam ek unquestionable national vision ko represent karta tha.
“Indubitable” ka arth hai jisme koi shak ya doubt ki gunjaish hi na ho—jo itna spasht aur fundamental ho ki usse challenge karna hi bekaar ho jaaye.
🌱 Shabd ka Utpatti (Etymology)
“Indubitable” bana hai:
- In- (prefix): “Not”
- Dubitare (Latin): “To doubt”
- -able: “Capable of being”
Literal arth: Not capable of being doubted. Yeh word philosophical aur legal texts me commonly use hota hai jahan clarity aur certainty ki zarurat ho.

🏛️ Itihasik Sandarbh (Historical Context)
1776 ka saal already Declaration of Independence (4 July) ke liye jaana jaata hai. Lekin ek equally significant event hua 9 September ko, jab Congress ne yeh decide kiya ki:
“The style of this Confederacy shall henceforth be the ‘United States of America.’”
Is naam ne colonial fragmentation ko ek unified vision me badla. Pehle log “these United Colonies” kahte the—ab woh ban gaye “The United States.” Yeh sirf ek semantic change nahi tha—yeh ek national character ka proclamation tha.
A name that signified not just rebellion, but purposeful union—and that gave rise to an indubitable national identity.
