And, thank you so much, please do say a prayer for me

Best of luck
So basically we can also quote the examples of Rohingya Muslims or the Palestinian issue too and the same with Kurds and Catalonia and even Kashmir and denial of legality of their referendum. Right?


sure

It's a bit complicated. The nationalism of these groups is a nationalism of the oppressed. Their nationalism is a result of the nationalism of others. Palestinians are a victim of Israeli nationalism, Kurds are a victim of Turkish nationalism, Kashmir is a victim of Indian nationalism.

This topic was given in the backdrop of the rise of trump, marine le pen, brexit, and modi. So i focused on nationalism that sought to expel, rather than a nationalism of the oppressed. It was a decision made to keep the essay simple and to the point. I did not want to make things too complicated. This is a tricky topic.

What is Nationalism

Nationalism according to Pakistani intellectual Eqbal Ahmad

Nationalism as an ideology of separation

Examples of the tragedies created by nationalism (focusing on crimes against minorities)

The Armenian Genocide

The Jewish holocaust

The 2002 Gujarat Riots in India. Referenced Rana Ayyub's book Gujarat files

In Brief: Nehru's inclusive nationalism?

Summary and conclusion.

Throughout the essay I focused on addressing the question asked in the essay: Can nationalism really be inclusive?

I explained the mechanism of how nationalism targets minorities in the first part of the essay, then in each example i showed the mechanism in action.


Length:1700-1900 words
Can you please elaborate on Eqbal Ahmad's idea of nationalism?
