1- Introduction
2- Current world scenario- Rise of nationalism
- Donald Trump and US/Steve Bandon and anti Muslim rhetoric
- EU refugee crisis, Brexit
- Indian nationalism under Modi
3- Evolution of nation state- Peace of Westohalia
- French Revolution
- Unification of Italy and Germany
- End of Colonialism
4- Minorities in a modern nation state- often sidelined
- not granted equal opportunities
- lack of development
- often take up arms against the state
5- Real world examples of conflicts between minorities and state- Balkans
- Breakup of USSR
- Kurdish independence movements
- Kashmir
6- Presence of minorities doesn't mean violence is necessary- US, multiculturalism
- Modern Russia, more than 23 ethnic groups
- India, hugely diverse states with very few secessionist movements
7- Pakistan, a nation of multiple nationalities- Pre 1971, Pashtunistan and Bengali movements
- Bengali independence, harsh lesson learned
- Post 1971, movements all but finished due to democratic process, rights for everyone
8- Nationalism isn't inherently violent- Rigid Nation state boundaries only in areas with intense historic conflicts e.g. Europe
- Minorities can live peacefully in areas that have experienced relative peace e.g. US
- Peace, development guarantee that minorities feel inclusive
9- Reccomendations- Equal opportunities for everyone
- Promote shared values and culture
- Promote education of other cultures to increase ethnic tolerance
- Justice and freedom for everyone
- Relative autonomy (Iraqi Kurdistan example, 18th ammendment)
- Development of all people equally
- Stop hate speech against minorities
- International safeguards for the rights of minorities
10- Conclusion
What do senior members feel about this, is it good or not? |
In my humble opinion, essay was composed of 2 statements. The first statement was presented as a fact and the writer was asked to justify it. Your essay tackles that part handsomely. But the second statement was a question. And you were asked to provide arguments either in favor or against it. I feel it is a bit lacking on that part. Keywords were 'minorities', 'nationalism' and 'inclusive'. You wrote a great deal about the first too but in the outline you just mentioned inclusiveness in a subheading.Again, its just my own personal opinion. Best of luck for the result..
