Answer:
राष्ट्र की परिभाषा एक ऐसे जन समूह के रूप में की जा सकती है जो कि एक भौगोलिक सीमाओं में एक निश्चित देश में रहता हो, समान परम्परा, समान हितों तथा समान भावनाओं से बँधा हो और जिसमें एकता के सूत्र में बाँधने की उत्सुकता तथा समान राजनैतिक महत्त्वाकांक्षाएँ पाई जाती हों। राष्ट्रवाद के निर्णायक तत्वों मे राष्ट्रीयता की भावना सबसे अधिक महत्त्वपूर्ण है। राष्ट्रीयता की भावना किसी राष्ट्र के सदस्यों में पायी जानेवाली सामुदायिक भावना है जो उनका संगठन सुदृढ़ करती है।
