Composite nationalism
Composite nationalism (Hindustani: "mushtareka wataniyat" or "muttahidah qaumiyat") is a concept that argues that the Indian nation is made of up people of diverse cultures, castes, communities, and faiths. The idea teaches that "nationalism cannot be defined by religion in India." While Indian citizens maintain their distinctive religious traditions, they are members of one united Indian nation. Composite nationalism maintains that prior to the arrival of the British to the Indian subcontinent, no enmity between people of different religious faiths existed; and as such these artificial divisions can be overcome by Indian society.
