Symbols and Icons
As public development was created, patriot pioneers turned out to be increasingly more mindful of such symbols and images in binding together individuals and motivating them with a sensation of patriotism. During the Swadeshi development in Bengal, a tricolor banner was planned. It had eight lotuses addressing eight regions of British India and a bow moon, addressing Hindus and Muslims. By 1921, Gandhiji had planned the Swaraj Flag. It was a tricolor with a turning wheel in the middle.
The Sense of Collective Belonging
A sense of collective belonging refers to the feeling of oneness and unity among the people. It is a kind of feeling which binds people with differences together. The sense of collective feeling is a strong sense of patriotism and love for one country.
Nationalism is a sense of belonging to a nation and comes into being through shared struggles. However, there are various ways in which cultural processes capture the imagination of people. History, fiction, folklore and songs, and popular prints, all played important roles in the making of nationalism.
