I am completely bewildered. Why would anyone want to keep alive the
idea of the nation state? Are you serious?
On the offchance that you're serious (shuriken?) -
Leaving aside for the moment the issue of "Why would anyone want to
keep alive the idea of the nation state", it would seem to be
inarguable that there *do* exist various parties who *do* want to do
precisely this.
In this context, Radhika's comment makes sense, to me at least.
