Hey Mate
This sense of collective belonging came partly through the experience of united struggles. History and fiction, folklore and songs popular prints and symbols all played a part in the making of nationalism.

•The identity of India came to be visually associated with the image of Bharat Mata. It was created by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. In 1870s,he wrote Vande Mataram.
•Abanindranath Tagore painted his famous image of Bharat Mata. In his painting, she is seen as a ascetic figure and is calm, composed, divine, and spiritual. Devotion to this mother figure was seen as an evidence of one's nationalism.
