Abstract: The word 'nation' carries varying meanings, and the connotation of the term has changed over time. Etymologically, the word came to English from the Old French word nation, which in turn originates from the Latin Word natio literally meaning "that which has been born." Ernest Renan, the French Orientalist, in his lecture entitled "What is a Nation?" clarifies that the idea of the nation is a recent phenomenon. According to him: Nation...are something fairly new in history. Antiquity was unfamiliar with them; Egypt, China and ancient Chaldea were in no way nations...Classical antiquity had republics, municipal kingdoms, confederations of local republics and empires, yet it can hardly be said to have had nations in our understanding of the term. Thus, he tries to trace the origins of the emergence of the nation- state, in the disintegration of the classic and medieval empires. He calls them profoundly unstable formations, always at the threshold of collapsing back into subdivisions of clan, tribe, language or religious group. He opines that one should not give undue importance to ethnography, that is, identification on the basis of race or language. Renan even dismisses religion to be an "adequate basis" for the constitution of a modern nationality for he argues that state religion has ceased to exist in the modern times. Unlike the olden times, one is free to be either a French or English or German, or practice Catholicism or Protestantism or no religion at all. Rather, it has now transformed itself into an allegiance to the "cult of the flag." Mutual interests may suffice to bring about trade agreements but not the formation of a nation, because nationality has a sentimental value: "it is both soul and body at once" . Further, geographical elements like rivers and mountains or even military necessity may play a considerable role in dividing land masses into nations, but it cannot be the norm for natural frontiers.
Keywords: adequate basis, Catholicism, Protestantism, spiritual principle, Aspects, etc
