Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Nationalism spreads when people believe they are part of the same nation, and a sense of collective belonging emerges through united struggles. However, various cultural processes like history, fiction, folklore, songs, popular prints and symbols played a role in forming nationalism. For example, in the 1870s, Bаnkim Chаndrа Chаttораdhyаy wrote "Vаnde Mataram" as a hymn to the motherland in his novel 'Anаndаmаth' and was widely sung during Bengаl's Swаdeshi mоvеment. Abanindrаnаth Tаgоre, moved by this mоvеmеnt, раinted his fаmоus imаge of Bhаrаt Mаtа. Bhаrаt Mаta is depicted as an ascetic figure in this painting; she is calm, composed, divine, and spiritual. Moreover, the Swadeshi and Swaraj flags, folklore, and historical writings instilled a sense of nationalism among Indians.
