Listened to work of lincoln, by the people, of the people, for the people. Saw first-hand what this could do for a society. Nationalism as he saw it: solidarity with fellow citizens, together you can accomplish more for your society- people are what the government should serve (china needs this ) We, the wronged races, must first recover our position of national freedom and equality before we are fit to discuss cosmopolitanism . We must understand that cosmopolitanism flows out of nationalis: if we want to extend cosmopolitanism we must first establish strongly our own nationalism . Nehru wants a society of equality of membership- element of national idea, that members are equal to each other in some way: prevent colonization! Citizens hang together in national institutions to prevent colonization.
