Abstract

In the present research, an analytical study of the reality of nationalist tendencies in Indian culture has been done. Nationalism may have taken the form of a political term in the present times, but in the eyes of Indian mystics, the soul of the nation is found in cultural beliefs. When it comes to Indian thought, both nation and state are seen as different concepts. The nationalism of India is basically cultural nationalism. The cultural nationalism on which the foundation of India rests, aims at all inclusive, all round welfare. But in reality these two words have different meanings. The nationalist mindset of India and the culture of India is against narrow nationalism. The message of Indian culture has always been about knowledge and love and it believes in the principle of 'Vasadhaiva kutumbakam'. People whose mind is full of auspicious thoughts, they dedicate their life in the interest of the nation. True nationalists mold their lives according to their aspirations, their dreams and their principles. It is often believed that it is very difficult for a person who is not resourceful to fulfill his dreams. However, if a person bases only on his lack of means, then he can fulfill all his dreams, all his aspirations without sacrificing his principles. Research Methodology: In this research paper, second research material has been collected. For which important books and letters Journals, reports etc. have been studied.
