What constitutes a nation ? Every one should ask this question ?

The concept of nationhood includes the land, the people who historically existed ( not invaders / migrants ), the diverse genome of fauna and flora, the rivers, and the divinity.

But if we look at the current... https://twitter.com/nativethoughts/status/1356486463655800832
2. ..... discourse / narration of nationalism even by so called hindutva parties, we cannot find mention of any of these.

Their nationalism is confined to GDP, money, income, development. Setting up industries, earning wealth is being projected as ......

Hindutva is as distorting and misleading as leftism & liberalism
