LIKENationalism is a disease that creates borders that don’t exist, while giving stock to ideas of superiority and the "other." While pride in one's country can be understandable, an overzealous pride—nationalism—can be disastrous. It breeds violence, hate, and war. This is the same type of pride that called German-American to arm themselves and go head first into fight for the “fatherland”. Nationalism and fascism go hand in hand. Using India as example for the dangers of nationalist rhetoric is the following: The growing influence of Hindu nationalism, or Hindutva, has fostered an environment of intolerance and violence, incidents such as the Gujarat riots and the more recent discriminatory policies like the CAA, and the NRC. These policies and events demonstrate how nationalism can undermine the principles of democracy and justice, leading to social fragmentation and conflict.
Mithun_ReddyGaru:Probably less than that, since I am not taking over the world so don't even compare the MC with that big boss. I don't get it since when was being nationalistic a bad thing?
What you mention as a 'violent' nationalism example is the result of decades of political games played and entertained by viscous cycles of violence and provocative media coverage. Have you ever heard of South India? Can you please try to search for the projected population ratio for the Hindus vs Muslim 2050 in the Indian subcontinent. Anybody who is worth their salt in the private sector or academic sectors has to know that Diversity is the life-blood of Indian culture. I'm not sure if this novel promotes any radical nationalist ideas since I haven't read it but the laws are suspicious but I along with anyone with a morsel of common sense try to see if active or passive discrimination is at play because that would indeed be a serious breach of democratic principles that are idolized

Most the time when you ask why they hate you half of them lie and say idk and then the rest are either your English or not American so yeah that's why I avoid Americans now
_JuneDays_oz:I agree some part of American culture falls victim to nationalism, however there is a thin like between fascism and nationalism.
