Answer 2

Answer:

It is difficult to define a nation because nation can be formed or found on the basis of religion, culture, language that is shared between people living in that nation. But India has varied religions, languages and cultures. Also, there are many  languages, or religions that are shared across nations, but they are not one nation. So, it is difficult to define a nation.

Relationship between nation and state in a modern society is that nation can acquire a state of its own. It is possible that people living in a nation are of a different nation. Like people of Jamaica also live outside Jamaica. Democracy is the key for formation of a state in today’s world.
