Question -

Neither descent, nor language, nor religion or ethnicity can claim to be a common factor in nationalisms all over the world. Comment.



Answer -

  1. It is commonly believed that nations are constituted by a group who share certain features as descent, or language or religion or ethnicity.
  2. But, there is in fact no common set of characteristics to be present in all nations.
  3. Many nations do not have common language, i.e. Canada includes English speaking and French speaking people and India also has a large number of languages to be spoken in different regions.
  4. Many nations do not have a common religion to unite them. And some is applicable to other characteristics, i.e. race or descent.
Hence, a nation is to a great extent an imagined community held together by the collective beliefs, aspirations and imaginations of its members.
