User:Aman.kumar.goel/AKG's Nationalism in India

Nationalistic sentiments have a substantially long history in India and draw inspiration from India's ancient history, civilisation, their culture and territorial spans. Prevalent forms include Indian nationalism which is an instance of territorial nationalism which is inclusive of all native and immigrant cultures and religions in Indian subcontinent while Hindu nationalism emphasises India's native cultural traditions for India's all inhabitants. Nationalist movements became highly relevant in Indian society in 19th & 20th century. They inspired resistance against colonial rule and oppression, facilitated social and economic reforms and still continue to strongly influence India's internal politics as well as economic and foreign policies.
