Nationalism is a modern political idea that links a people to a shared territory, culture, history, and destiny, and claims that this collective should govern itself through its own sovereign state. More than a sentiment of love for one’s country, nationalism is a structured ideology that produces particular ways of thinking about identity, belonging, power, and citizenship. It shapes how societies define insiders and outsiders, what they cherish as national heritage, and how they mobilize populations around political projects. In India, nationalism developed in the historical context of colonial domination, economic transformation, and social conflict, giving rise to competing interpretations of what the nation was and who it represented. Two major sociological perspectives on Indian nationalism come from A. R.

Desai, a leading Marxist sociologist, approached nationalism as a historical product of capitalist development under colonial rule. For Desai, Indian nationalism cannot be understood merely as an awakening of a timeless national spirit. Instead, it emerged from concrete economic and social changes introduced by British colonialism—such as the spread of modern industries, integration into global markets, new administrative structures, and Western education.
