520			_aIssues concerning nation-building in multinational states constituted one of the major problems in the last century. Admittedly, nationality problems in varying intensity will occupy the politicalscape of various countries even in the 21st Century. As a matter of fact, the enormity of national problems escalated ever since the emergence of new states in the periods of de-colonisation after Second World War. Being a new state and one of the largest countries, India faces the uphill task of reconciling nation-building efforts with accommodation of multiple cultural nationalities within the framework of single polity. It is in this context that a re-examination of the concept of `nation' in a multinational situation with special reference to India assumes significance. - Reproduced.
