ABSTRACT
The notion of nationalism demonstrates one’s attachment to home country. Nationalism is a thing that is gifted to a national by birth because genetic birth means national birth (Girinius, 1969). Nationalism is an ancient phenomenon, however it is debated in present times but it can be traced back to “as far back as Josephus, if not Thucydides, we find the appeal to freedom to preserve ancestral ways from foreign interference. The present study discusses nationalism in Kamila Shamsie’s A God in Every Stone. The paper explores the significance of national attachment in the selected novel. The study is qualitative in nature as it deals with fictional domain within the discipline of literature. The study concludes that nationalism attain unity, sovereignty and loyalty as collective bond among people of same nationality.
