Zomite pen i minam leh i minam a it mahmah minam i hi a, a takpi a muh theih ding gam i neih zawh nai loh nangawn zong i sunmang tawh i gam i lei i itna leh ngaihna thute mah la tawh phuakin, a sasa ngaungau a awiawi minam khat i hi hi. A sia lam hilo ahih manin a lungdamhuai lam hi zaw hi. Ahih zongin ihihna lopi-in gam leh minam itna (nationalsm) leh ihihna tawh kituakin lungkimna tawh gam leh minam itna (patriotism) ci-in nam nih na om sese hi.

Mi pawl khatte in amau i gam leh minam itna pen a man leh dik leh ciik pen hi ci-in a kisialpih diak se ki-om ahih manin a dahhuai mahmah thu khat hi. Minam leh gam it dan nam nih na om se hi. Zomi ten bel "minam itna" cih kammal khat bek i neih manin a kicing zo lo kammal suak bang hi. Mangkang ten "Nationalism leh Patriotism" ci-in a kammal nih tawh na tuam khen sese uh hi. A nih tuakin gam leh minam itna hi tei napi-in kibang loin kilamdang mahmah hi. Ahi zongin a kibang kisa kha den kha hi. A taktakin a kilehbulhna leh kibat lohna na tam mahmah hi.

Zolai in i at ciang "nationalism" zong minam itna mah kici suk a, "patriotism" zong minam itna mah i ci veve uh hi. A kilamdan'na hih tawm i kikumkhawm ding hi. "Nationalism" i cih ciangin gam itna lianpi neih manin gam dangte sangin ei gam thupi zaw leh vanglian zaw, tungnung (superior) zaw hi cih ngaihsutna leh gam khat i suahtakna (independence) ultungsak nopna ahih manin "right-wing nationalism" tawh kizomsuak kha pahpah hi. "Patriotism" i cih ciangin gam leh minam khat sunga gam mite (citizens) teng tawh na a manphatna (value) kibang neikhawmte in gam leh minam kisaktheihpihna (national pride) kibang tawh gam itna leh kipiakkhiatna ideology a neih uh genna hi.

NATIONALISM VS PATRIOTISM

"Nationalism" leh "patriotism" in mi khatin a gam leh minam adingin a lahkhiatna kinaihna leh kitanauna (relationship) a neihna ciang bel nei lua hi. Hih kammal nihte pen a kibatlohna a telsiam lo leh a khentel thei lo kitam mahmah hi. A kibatlohna na om kiaute hih bang hi: Nationalism i cih pen i ngeina dan tawh kituak leh dungzui (cultural background) in - i pau i hamte, a kiluahsuksawn (heritage) cihte kihelin - poimawh masa sakin tuate bulphuhin kipumkhatna tawh ultungsak hi. Patriotism i cih ciangin i gam leh minam i itna, i kipiakkhiatna (devotion) tawh i manphatna (values) leh upnate leh ngaihsutnate (beliefs) pibawl masakna hi.

Nationalism leh patriotism kammal zangin thu khatpeuh i gen ciangin British laigelh minthang mahmah George Orwell in, "Nationalism i cih pen kilemna dingin gal lianpen hi," a cih kidaangkoih thei lo, kinawlkhin thei lo leh kitheihmawh bawl theih ding hilo hi. Orwell in, "Nationalism i cih pen na minam leh gam pen mi dangte leh gam dangte sangin thupi zaw leh sangzaw (superior) hi ci-in ngaihsutna hi a, patriotism i cih pen nuntakzia thupi ngaihsunin thupisimna hi," na ci hi.

Orwell' ngaihsutna panin 'patriotism' pen lehnan'na ahih kei leh lehdona (resistance) om loin a piang ding a pian' theihna dingin phalna leh mi dangte in a hih nop bang uh ahih theihna dingun lung-awina (passive) hi a, 'nationalism' pen i kiim i kianga omte va mot suam masak nopna, do masak nopna leh khut kha-in gitloh masakna (aggressive) danin na paipih hi cih kitelcian pah hi. Hih banga gam leh minam itna pen galvan lauhuai suak thei hi.

Patriotism in itna leh nunnemna (affection) bulphuh a, nationalism in mi dangte galbawlna leh thangpaihna (rivalry and resentment) ah a zung kha hi. Nationalism pen mi gilo ahih leh ngongtat (militant) lungsim bulphuhin nei a, patriotism in kilemna, muanna leh daihna (peace) bulphuhin nei hi. Nationalist hi ing, a kicite a tam zawtte in ka gam uh gam dangte sangin hoih zaw leh thupi zaw leh vanglian zaw hi, thupi pen hi ci-in ngaihsutna nei uh hi.

Ahih hangin patriots kici a tam zawte in ka gam pen a hoih pente lak-a khat hi a, lam tuamtuam ah tu lian dinmun sangin hoih zaw thei hi cih ngaihsutna nei uh ahih manin gam dangte tawh kilawmtatna tawh kizopna (friendly relations) neih ding leh bawl ding a deih hangun nationalists kicite tua bang ut lo uh a, gam dangte thanemna ding ngimna nei-in susu masa nuam den uh a, gam dangte leh minam dangte muhdahna leh hazatna liuliau tawh a thanemna dingun a gawtna dingin khalna (economic sanctions, arms embargo), anti-immigration, racism leh populism cihte political ideologies leh policies in nei uh hi.

Patriotism cih bulphuh mite in leitung bup a liangko kikim (equal) bangin tuatin ngaihsutna nei uh a, ahih hangin nationalism cih bulphuh mite in a gam mite bek uh a kikim bangin ngaihsutna nei uh hi (pawl khat ten amau mipih leh minamte bek amau tawh liangko kikim bangin mu in ngaihsutna nei-in namdangte a hang om lopi-in mudah leh neuhmuh zaw lai uh ahih manin tua bang mite pen chauvinist ahih kei leh fanatic kici a, amau minam leh gam bek minam dangte leh gam dangte sangin a thupi zaw in ngaihsun uh a, a political ideologies uh-ah minam dangte leh gam dangte tungah gitlohna zang masa uh ahih manin tua bang mite xenophobic, racist ahih kei kei leh jingoist kici hi).

Patriotic lungsim paai mite in amau ngaihsutna tawh kituak loin a tuam pian zaw deuh muhna leh gennate (criticisms; ei Zomi ten gensiatna ci-in i nak zat mahmah kammal) thuakzawhna leh dawhzawhna (tolerance) nei uh ahih manin criticism a tuah hangun kigal bawlna leh kilang bawlna bangin tuat lo uh a, tuate panin sinin, kibawlphatna dingin zangin thalakna in zang zaw uh hi.

Ahih hangin nationalist lungsim paaite in criticism kici limlim thuakzawhna leh dawhzawhna nei loin pum zadah pah uh a, tangtel siktan bang pah uh ahih manin hehna dinga kicihna leh kisimmawh bawlna ahih kei leh kizahkona (insult) leh langpan'na bangin la pahpah uh ahih manin kibawlphat leh kipuah sawm vet lo uh hi. Ei Zo suante sung, a diakin conservative ideologies neite gam itna pen nationalism hi zaw ahih manin buai ding buai lo buai loh ding teng a buaipih leh khantohna leh meetna ding om lopi-in namdangte muhdahna bek hi loin i mipihte galbawlna pen minam itna zahin a ngaihsun tam pha uh hi.

Nationalism in mi khatpeuh in ama minam leh gam kamphatna, hoihna, lungsim leh gamtat hoih deihhuainate (virtues) bek ngaihsut belin nei uh ahih manin gam leh a minam uh kitangsapna leh citlahna (deficiencies) ngaihsut masakin nei lo uh hi. Nationalism in gam dangte kamphatna, hoihna, lungsim leh gamtat hoih deihhuainate (virtues) simmawhna piangsak hi. Nationalism hangin a beisa a hilhkhialnate (past mistakes) kisiamtan'na ding zon'na leh mi dangte bek mawhsakna ding zon'na piangsak hi. Ahih hangin patriotism hangin mite in a citlahnate (shortcomings) a theihsiamna ding leh kipuahkhatna (improvements) piangsak hi.

"Patriot" kici lungsim neite in lehnan'na ahih kei leh lehdona (counter; resistance) om loin a piang ding a pian' theihna dingin phalna leh mi dangte in a hih nop bang uh a hih theihna dingun lung-awina lampi (passive way) tawnin paipih uh a, a gam uh itna leh kipiakkhiat ngamna (willing to devote and sacrifice) nei uh hi.

Ahih hangin "Nationalist" kicite in amau political pai zia bek paipihin, amau adingin a lunghimawhna hangin suahtakna leh meetna ding (angsung ding bek khualna tawh hamphatna ngahna ding) leh mi dangte tungah thuneih khumna (independence, interests and domination) ding bek ngaihsuti beln nei-in tua teng bek mah mittaw sialkhau letin nei tata uh hi.
