Good efforts .. I like your outline

Hey, I am a no expert so take it just as a constructive criticism.
I think that your second variable that is 'who are minorities' deserves only one paragraph, not five.
Apart from that I also maintain that you should converge the 3rd and 4th heading so that your paragraphs look more convincing. From I could understand is that your 3rd and 4th variables talk about the same thing.
Other than these 2 things. I think the outline is quite persuasive and succinct.

From my prospective 2-2.5 points are extra.
you should not cover that much about minority introduction as it is not in focus of the examiner.

The thing you should focus more on is [QUOTE]Can nationalism be really inclusive?[/QUOTE]

U r right shah.. There is no need to elaborate topic too much when your are writing an essay.. Instead of elaborating or defining topic .. Attemptee should focus on what has been asked..

I really appreciate all of the suggestions. An outline is just a mere representation of how an essay is being written. I agree that few of the topics are redundant. However, their inclusion isn’t unnecessary if one knows how many words are enough to cover them. Topic 2 needs to be covered in a concise way which shouldn’t be too long nor too small. Instead of opinion, exact information is required in this section. Apart from that, I did not merge topic 3 and 4 because topic 3 needs to be covered by keeping the views of different subjects like sociology, law, economics, political science etc. with reference to the essay. Topic 4 is based on opinion and justification for the later part of an essay which is “nationalism”. I intentionally kept the topic 6 limited to cover the essay on time. However, its lengths and arguments can be varied based on the available time. Thanks and once again, I appreciate all those who replied as your suggestions are how others learn from your experience.
