Nobody knows what patriotism is: Nikkhil Advani

His film ‘Airlift’ brought alive the story of the Indian government’s 1990 evacuation of Indians forced out of Kuwait by the first Gulf War; his TV show ‘P.O.W: Bandi Yuddh Ke’ narrates the struggle of war heroes and the emotional upheaval their families go through.

Filmmaker Nikkhil Advani says such stories of national pride need to be told to the youth at a time when “nationalism is being flung like a two rupee coin”.

“Nationalism is something that right now we are flinging like a Rs 2 coin. People are expressing, ‘I am patriotic, I have national pride.’ But nobody knows what patriotism is,” Advani felt.
