    A state requires four elements to exist: a population, territory, government, and sovereignty. A nation is defined as a group of people who have a strong sense of unity and shared identity, though there is no single defining characteristic. Common factors like territory, race, religion, language, history, culture and political goals can contribute to a national identity, but none are absolutely essential, and the specific elements that define a nation can change over time.

    Unit 1: State and Nation

    The State has four elements—population, territory, government, and sovereignty. In the absence of
    even one element, a State cannot be really a State. A state is always characterized by all these four
    elements. On the contrary, a nation is a group of people who have a strong sense of unity and common
    consciousness.

    Common territory, common race, common religion, common language, common history, common
    culture and common political aspirations are the elements which help the formation of a nation, and yet
    none of these is an absolutely essential element. The elements which go to build a nation keep on
    changing.
