Composite nationalism (Hindustani: mushtareka wataniyat or muttahidah qaumiyat) is a concept that argues that the Indian nation is made up of people of diverse cultures, castes, communities, and faiths.[1][2] The idea teaches that "nationalism cannot be defined by religion in India."[3] While Indian citizens maintain their distinctive religious traditions, they are members of one united Indian nation.[3][4] Composite nationalism maintains that prior to the arrival of the British into the subcontinent, no enmity between people of different religious faiths existed; and as such these artificial divisions can be overcome by Indian society.[3]
