In history, most people will know that people discriminated and excluded others due to some reasons such as status, religion and so on. It seems not to be modest for me, countries and its people to be superior to others.
But we have seen a lot of cases through history that when we got rid of any discrimination, the nation became thrived and the people became happy. For example, there was a King Sejong in the Joseon dynasty of Korea who is the creator of Hangeul(Korean letters). Although he was a confucian scholar, he admitted various religions like traditional belief and Buddhism. He transcended religions and then equally appointed people according to their talents and regardless of their religions. So, King Sejong is even now respected the most in the Republic of Korea and his people could live happily and peacefully in their times.
The Islam empire, Mughul dynasty enjoyed its golden age in the era of Emperor Akbar of the sixteenth century. They appointed talented people regardless of their religions such as Muslim and Hinduism. But after these, it was dramatically declined because of some rebellions like creating Hinduism empire. Eventually, it resulted in Britain's colonization. I think it resulted from their greeds for their own nations and religions not accepting and understanding each other.
Mahatma Gandhi, a leader of Nationalism and a peace activist for nonviolence, planned a peace nation co-existing with multi-culture and multi-religion but India and Pakistan became independent separately according to an agreement among National Congress-Muslim League-UK. India became independent on August 15, 1947 and Pakistan declared independence a day ago because Pakistani regard day 15 as islamic sabbath (Friday).
On the other hand, these two nations might have become a peaceful nation and more recognized worldwide for their wide territories and many people if each didn't cause conflicts insisting only their nation and religion are right.
