Yuvraj Singh Thakur
The book is an effort of a twenty year old boy Yuvraj Singh Thakur, who tries to pave his way of ideas, amidst of the political, cultural and regional changes. The book talks about the idea of nationalism of Bharat through the eye of a young brain. The book argues to follow the Indic ideas over the Western ideas, it also provides disagreement to the idea of secularism rather emphasis over the culture of Vasudeva Kutumbkam. Also the book talks about the author’s disagreement to the idea of 'Ganga Jamuni Tehzeeb'. The idea that 'our identities are to a large extent shaped by the nation state. The thin lines dividing Nationalism, Patriotism and Chauvinism are often blurred. We look at the world primarily in terms of diverse nationalities and people we interact with are categorised as ’We’ and ’They’. We define friends and enemies and neutral alliance accordingly', is the core of book. In this monograph Yuvraj has made a serious effort to find his way through a bewiildring maze of ideas, historical events, comments made by others scholars to get a grasp of what Nationalism means.
