Salut
Sorry if I misunderstand the topic, is the writer of the thread trying to imply a connection between ethnicity and legitimacy of ones nationalism? I am not sure how people view nationalism central/south asianne region but in for canadienne our cutural, ethnic and religous difference get preceded by nationalism and our love for the great white north, the land know as" Kanada". However for the society to be a healthy multicultural one, our government so in case quebecois provincial government promotes children learning second languages. So in my case of having partial pakistani heritage, my école offered traditional urdu as well as anglais as a second or possible third langue because francais cannot get you anywhere outside quebec/nouvelle brunswick,. Though i am curious how do people in countries like Iran, turkic and pakistani find that balance between maintaining their nationalism as well as preserving their cultural/religious identity.
