use of the two-nation theory and a united Muslim front was a useful identity to an otherwise splintered nation, too similar to it’s much larger Hindu counterpart. As Pakistan grew from a theory into an actualized nation, it was proved that this wasn’t a solid foundation for a country as Bangladesh won independence, disregarding Muslim unity in exchange for inter-ethnic conflict. To counter-act insecurities and strife caused by the growing realization that a Muslim identity might not be strong enough to keep the diverse ethnicities from falling apart a stronger tie to Islam was established with Zia-ul-Haq’s…
Article 370 The partition of Bharat was based on the two nation theory. Insertion of Article 370 and the provision of special status for J&K is the corollary of the two nation theory. The ongoing armed insurgency or militarization of Islamic fundamentalism in Kashmir is the fall out of the two-nation theory. If the justification of Article 370 and special status for Kashmir underscores the need of protecting the interests of J&K Muslim majority vis-a-vis Hindu dominated Bharat, the same…

"the call"—a unique, divine assignment given by God for his purposes, which requires faithful and active obedience, unwavering commitment, and devotion from the one called. (Robinson, N. (2014, January 28). God 's calling to missions is not authoritative the way the Scriptures are. The calling should never be challenged. Our calling is in our own heart. The calling is the work of God to bring our heart closer to conviction. This conviction is of God, and it delivers utter peace. Everyone is in…

The major principle of this movement would be that there should be political, cultural, religious, and historical unity among people of the Arab nations.

As mentioned previously, nationalism, nation, and national identity are all modern Western constructions that were foreign to Chinese society until the nineteenth century. Through contact with the West and Japan, Chinese society soon understood what these terms meant in the larger international context. They also understood that in order for China to join the West and Japan as international powers, they needed to develop their own nationalism, nation and national identity. The problem China…
in the process of learning about others, they learn about themselves. Americans naturally assume their own customs are the best way of going about things; looking at other cultures helps them to see where they have room for improvement. Nussbaum uses the example of childcare, they might also look at the healthcare systems of other nations, to improve their own. Secondly, she argues that they would be better able to solve global issues, such as that of pollution and global warming, if they are…
strong nationalism is felt after winning a war, the inauguration of a new leader or anniversaries. As national pride among citizens within a country rises, civic engagement is also amplified. The same theory can be applied reversely to assume that low levels of nationalism correlate with scant civic engagement. Using the most similar system design one can explore the reasons behind why two analogous nations have very different levels of nationalism and civic engagement. Libya and Algeria are…
