Could you tell me why this is?

I don't know why Hindus have this habit of ascribing everything to the Veda without even knowing the real origin. I had read several times that it is from some (nondescript) Veda so I hesitantly put my faith in their claims.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->That is why in Sanskrit which is the ancient language said that "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam`" (The whole world is one family). This good saying is from Rig-Veda the first known human litterature.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I have no doubt in my mind that associating that saying with any Veda has a political motive. I mean, if its found in the most authoritative book of the Hindus, then it has to be the most revered pronouncement right...The whole world is our family, lets sit around the campfire, holding hands with commies, mullahs, and missionaries and sing songs damning those evil Hindutvadis who blemish our peeshful religion.
