The Characteristics and Influence of the “Long-Distance Nationalism” on Americans of Indian Origin

During the First World War of the 20th century, with the rise of the Indian national independence movement, the American Indian consciousness of “long-distance nationalism” began to awaken. The development of American Indian “long-distance nationalism” has gone through three main stages, and with the continuous expansion of ethnic influence, the nationalist feelings and political practice of ancestral countries are also constantly strengthening, and showing strong elitism color, transnational capital interests’ connection and internal and external mechanism coordination and integration and so on. Under the background of the current “India-Pacific Strategy”, the strengthening of the willingness to cooperate between the United States and India has provided both a cover and an opportunity for the development of “long-distance nationalism” of Indian Americans, and will play a continuous role in American society, US-India relations and even global geopolitics. The “long-distance nationalism” of Indian Americans will further deepen the “common interests” between the United States and India, and this trend will become increasingly prominent with the continuous expansion of Indian influence.
