Question

“There is no necessary relationship between any specific form of community and the modern form of the state. Any of the many bases of community identity (like language, religion, ethnicity and so on) may or may not lead to nation formation - there are no guarantees.”

Based on the given passage, answer the following question.

Cultural diversity can often be perceived as a source of threat to states because:

1. States see all forms of community identity as dangerous rivals.
2. Control is difficult in case of heterogeneous identities.
3. Suppressing cultural diversity can be very costly in terms of the subdued community.
4. Community identities cannot act as the basis of nation-formation.
