Boodhooram does not feign ignorance; one may say he cultivates ignorance. He expresses ignorance after short discussions on all subjects but friends expects otherwise; most of us usually fight because we know. And almost all knowledge are founded on belief.
Where was ignoramus? Ignoramus would like to rewrite (his own blog) on right to live/die and nationalism. Last football world cup Calcutta/Kolkata became a confused city in South America. The flags of Brazil and Argentina were flying all places, as if those are two foot ball clubs.
Today it is impossible to imagine a border-less earth. But it was like that in prehistoric era. Species migrated from one continent to another and seas. Modern men (Homo sapience Sapience) also migrated along continents and regions. Transfer of technologies such as building fire, tool making, trade, animal farming, agriculture etc were border-less. All those technologies helped men, in turn, domiciliation, from roving families. In the process perhaps collective and individual ownership of land and water body arose, we started to mark places as our own. Gradually after a long long time these became mother/father lands.
Many people explained nation but image is not always same. German nation, state, pride, in psyche, is almost solid as rock. Where as idea of nationalism of South Asia mainly Indian subcontinent is ever changing, fluid.
A flag represent a country/nation. Football clubs has there flags too. Ignoramus does not understand whose interest would it serve to allow a country/nation become a football club.

Rapid change in electronic communications, gradually cheaper mass transportation, easier immigration of talented people etc a new concept of global village taking ground. Fashions moves from one corner of earth to another in lighting speed. A language almost a look alike to English (language of this post) is taking shape as tool of universal communication. Binary money moves overnight even faster, it does not matter whether one possesses Dollar Pound Euro Rupee ruble etc.
Fundamentally terrorists are irritations of the day. Nationality is insignificant, to religion of communism or communal-ism, for them.

Are you Indian? Are you Chinese? And then if asked to prove, in village of Bihar what one shows as proof of nationality? At Mumbai, many Bengalese do work in ornament industry as craftsmen. Police of the place pick them up often as illegal immigrant from Bangladesh. If get rounded up in a raid in Mumbai what is there to proof Boodhooram nationality (= citizenship), who speaks Bengali.
USA and friends of Afghanistan are trying to build a state and its army. Afghanistan had kings, Islam, tribes, Jirgas etc. What appears in news paper, people's idea of nationalism is not presently same as Germans. To build a multi-tribe permanent army one nationalistic ideal is essential, isn't it? Devoid of some nationalistic ideal army become bunch of mercenaries.

So to fabricate a successful nationalism, one need great leader who himself is driven with the urge to drive the nation through prosperity/doom high way, will find facts and fictions to sew blanket of beliefs. Nationalism takes shape if the leader can fire the imaginations of people with those beliefs. And it needs reinforcement of beliefs and updating. To avoid dilution of nationalism prayer, promise, pledge etc are used as prop.
Sometime we ordinary people do not understand where our leaders are taking us. Germans believed Herr Hitler was taking them to prosperity, but the dream turned sour. Many Indians had doubt about intentions and ability of Mahatma Gandhi, but gradually changed their views.
New ideas and ideals often breaks nationalism, sometimes make another. Examples are aplenty in east disintegrated Europe. Now Euro is big experiment in Europe. Ignoramus is fascinated because it is a collective intellectual drive against all odds to unite countries of Europe, wish them big success.

International brotherhood of communal-ism and communism is and was respectively potent destroyers of nationalism Ignoramus thinks. Trust makes nationalism and distrust breaks a nation.
