Question
"Nationalism spreads when people begin to believe that they are all part of the same nation." Support the statement
Solution
Before the advent of British to the Indian subcontinent, there was no single entity called India. It was divided into several provinces and ruled by different rulers. Every province was interested in serving their own interest and they was no feeling of a 'nation' as such. But the British imperialism created universal antagonistic attitudes towards the nature of British rule in India. This collective feeling brought the people together against one single cause, i.e. the British. Important role was played by political organisations like Indian National Congress that provided significant leadership.
