A Critical Analysis of Anderson?s Imagined Communities with Special Reference to India

Dr. Reetu Jaiswal

Abstract: Nationalism has become one of the most tenacious ideological bonds binding human beings together into separate political communities. There is no doubt that its value may vary, its particular content may change, but fundamentally the nationalist feeling is described in terms of a shared feeling of togetherness that defines the ?we? against the ?they?. Nations are invariably defined in terms of a community and in terms ofthe loyalty of its citizens to the community. It is indeed a community of values shared by all its citizens, a common heritage, a common history, a common character, a common sense and a common will.

Keywords: Anderson's Imagined Communities, Nationalism
