Nationalism and Patriotism are two words that are frequently used interchangeably. Patriotism disguised as nationalism or nationalism disguised as patriotism and we are not capable to recognize it. That is incorrect since there is a world of difference between the two words, despite a few shared goals.<\/span><\/p>\n

These two words Patriotism and Nationalism have been bandied encompassing both by the government<\/a>, the media, and the people at large for some time now. Add to that another word that may be associated in some way and that is ‘intolerance’. In fact, possibly it is the word intolerance that has inspired the other two words.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three words that was not common in our vocabulary for 68 years after independence has become common in an everyday tongue in almost every discussion on the ‘state of the nation’ discussion. You almost fall over the words thinking they may mean much the same thing. Irani also said that the debate of nationalism made her wonder why any Indian should have to explain why he or she is patriotic. I don’t have to confirm your patriotism, and you don’t have to certify my patriotism. Smriti Irani<\/a> who is our Minister for Human Resource Development also appears to use the words nationalism and patriotism interchangeably and in the same breath.<\/span><\/p>\n
