Nations At The 1951 Asian Games
A nation is a community of people formed on the basis of a combination of shared features such as language, history, ethnicity, culture and/or society.

The consensus among scholars is that nations are socially constructed and historically contingent. Throughout history, people have had an attachment to their kin group and traditions, territorial authorities and their homeland, but nationalism – the belief that state and nation should align as a nation state – did not become a pr ...
