Nationalism
unites people into a bond on the basis of same territory, shared
beliefs, common history, shared political ideals, common political
identity and aspirations.
The
idea of nationalism can liberate people from the bond of various
smaller groups to a wider and common group of nation where they
share common interests and goals.
It
can also divide the people as every lingual or cultural group could
demand for a separate nation-state.
It
can generate bitterness and conflict as demands for separate nation
state by smaller groups often leads to conflict. Such situations are
at the root of many ongoing conflicts in the world.
Neither
descent, nor language, nor religion or ethnicity can claim to be a
common factor in nationalisms all over the world as there is no
common set of characteristics that is present in every nation. It is
very difficult for every lingual, religious and ethnic group to
become politically and economically viable. This also leads to
several problems for those groups that are in minority. Therefore,
no nation-state can stand only on the factor of religion or
ethnicity.
