Answer:
Ernest
Renan was a French philosopher, who outlined the attributes of a nation are as
follows
(i) A nation is not formed by a common language, race, religion or
territory.
(ii) To form a nation, social capital, common glories and
deeds of the past and common will are necessary. A nation is the culmination of
a long past of endeavors, sacrifice and devotion.
(iii) Nation is a large scale solidarity, its existence is
a daily plebiscite and its inhabitants have the right to be consulted.
(iv) The existence of a nation is not only a good thing,
but also a necessity.
(v) A nation has never any real interest in annexing or
holding on to a country against its will. Nations are important because
existence of the nation is a guarantee of liberty. Liberty would be lost if the
world had only one law and only one master.
