Answer 1

Answer:

Some icons and symbols were developed to promote nationalism. Some evidences are :

• In India, the flag was the icon which was developed first during the Swadeshi movement. Later on it was redeveloped by Mahatma Gandhi. Carrying the flag, holding it aloft became a symbol of defiance.

• If we talk about the world, then we come across that in many places during nationalism, allegory were developed. For e.g., artists personified the French nation as Marianne which stood of liberty, justice, equality, fraternity and republic.
