As an ideology, nationalism is based on the premise that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the nation surpass other individual or group interests. At a macro level, nationalism aims to liberate the country from oppressive rule and establish a sovereign state.

On the other hand, at a more local level, nationalism is perceived to be a form of cultural consciousness that aims to protect different cultural communities within their homeland. Nationalism in India has, perhaps, acquired a kind of socio-political connotation which somehow was linked to the notion of sovereignty.
