Following can be the limitations of nationalism: 1. the definition of the term ‘Nationalism’ is debated and discussed. It becomes difficult for us to settle on precise and widely accepted definitions which open this term for various interpretations.

2. Territory plays an important role creating the nation and develops the feeling of nationalism among its inhabitants. World is divided into different nation-states with an ongoing process of reshaping of boundaries and separatist struggles within existing states are common.

3. It is not possible for each cultural group to build its own nation-state therefore one nation-state integrate more than one cultural group.

4. Different cultural groups often get engaged in conflicts due to their separate nationalist aspirations and principle which is based on a desire for homogenous identity.

5. The role of Nationalism in this era of globalised world is yet to be completely explored and evaluated as national tendencies have different meaning in a world of interconnectedness.
