After the First World War , the word Nation is used deliberately in a political sense. In the words of Lord Bryce, a nation is " a nationality which is organised itself in a political body either independent or desiring to be independent.
A nation, strictly speaking symbolizes the people of a state bound by an emotional or psychological & political forces. otherwise call nationalism.

The united state of America is the best example of a nation. The Americans originally belonged to different languages & races but later come together & united as they felt that they were one. of late today nation does not only mean a people having oneness among them but also means a people who feel that they are united, free and desire to be independent.
