Thoughts on Nation and Culture

 by MohanaranganV @ Monday, 07. Apr, 2008 - 09:41:05 pm

The birth of a nation is a very rare sight we get in literature. Two such instances are
available in the case of America and India. The emergence of the national identity as
evidenced in literary works, initiated and instantialised in the context differs in the context of America from that of India. In India the cultural identity is preexistent to the emergence of Nationality, whereas in the case of America both the identities, cultural and national, emerge more or less in the same time span.
