The debate on nationalism and anti-nationalism is raging all over India While many political parties have branded people, institutions and organisations as the ‘hub’ of anti-nationals with their own views, Bollywood actor Anupam Kher on Wednesday came up with his own definition of what is nationalism.
So this is how ‘Nationalism’ is defined:
The only definition of NATIONALISM for Bharatwasis should be “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. Rest all are escape routes.

Not everyone on Twitter agreed with Kher and this was how they responded to his Tweet:
Only ‘BHARAT MATA KI JAI’can’t define ntionlism.If I say ‘SareJahaSeAchaHindustan Hamara’ instead..does it mean m Antinational? @anupampkher

Rest assured, not everyone in India agrees with Mr. Kher.
