Since the nineteenth century, the concepts of nation-states and nationalism have been taking concrete shapes. To grow into a nation, particularly in Asia, there have been various experiments after the World Wars with the growing demands for self-determination against imperialism and colonialism. Hence there is a need for continuous analysis about these struggles, trials and tribulations, and consequent fault-lines towards the goals of nationalism. Such analysis is not very easy, but this book, written in a lucid style, might be of interest to students and scholars of the subject since we all care for the healthy growth of nationalism around us.
