Human beings never knew how they became what they are today. They are also not aware of what it means in terms of their responsibility to be what they are today. Therefore we see acts of terrorism, violence all across the world. Assertion of ideologies have replaced the love for humanity. Nation states are in a transgressive journey to impose their ideologies but not necessarily loving the nationalism or the state of love for nation by being a nation soul rather than a nation state.
All across the world these symptoms are prevalent amongst the nations driven by new norms of rise of nationalism after the world has seen through various other forms in the past. The larger the prevalence of this symptom, greater is the pervasive force of nationalism driven by assertion, power, ideologies, right to control and not by principles of soulful surrender.
It is over here, I propose a "melancholic nationalism" that might act as a barrier and a stoppage to the terror of existing nationalistic forces all over the world. The essence of such a "melancholic nationalism" will be based on the premise of love and surrender for nation and humanity. Love and surrender are enmeshed with melancholy and as such a nationalism will be driven by love and surrender it will be nothing else other than "melancholic nationalism".
The core realisation of it will be based on the love of humanity which recognises vulnerability of a human and a nation and hence such a realisation will enhance the love for nation through a principle of soulful surrender by everyone for the nation and humanity.
It will therefore create a space for the convergence of love, vulnerability, presence and absence. When such a convergence will happen melancholic nationalism will be established all across the world driven by the love and vulnerability of an existence of nation. The world will surely be a better place with "melancholic nationalism" rather than"deep state nationalism". The next coming years will therefore see a clash of "melancholic nationalism" with"deep state nationalism".
