Assertion: Nationalism implied that the people of India or of any colonised society have an equal right to be sovereign.
Reason : Nation states are closely associated with the rise of socialism.

Options:

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

A is true R is false

A is false R is true

Correct Answer:

A is true R is false

Explanation:
  • Assertion: Nationalism implies that the people of India or any colonized society have an equal right to be sovereign. This statement is accurate because nationalism, as a political and social ideology, emphasizes the rights of a nation's people to self-determination and sovereignty.

  • Reason: Nation-states are closely associated with the rise of nationalism (not socialism). Nationalism often seeks the establishment of nation-states, where a sovereign state is formed by and for a particular nation or people. The emergence of nationalism has historically been linked to the desire for political autonomy and self-governance.

    A is true R is false.
