 future of the state. The topic for this session, that in globalization, the role of state is diminishing in control over social and economic spheres of life. We all are agreed on this point that under the process of globalization, state is slowly losing its control specifically on the social and economic spheres of life. How? As the world is changing, we know that our purchasing power, our way of living, is not limited to our areas. In fact, under influence has come, we have not been hidden from the outside world, our things, our conditions have not been hidden from the outside world. So the nation state will be replaced by a super-national state. A concept is coming that the nation state will convert into a super-national state, that the world will be united and then all people will not take the tension of the borders, but the bond between the borders will become such that many things will become common. On the other hand, technological advancement is going on as fast as the communication is going on, the change is coming, the communication is going up, the focus is on virtual learning and the online learning is going towards it. So it seems that the traditional concept of the state is going towards the super-national state rather than the reality. Similarly, the rise of transnational corporations and international non-governmental organizations is an outcome of the globalization. And this process will weaken the nation state. Many political sociologists, they agree on this perspective that definitely now the nature of the war is also under change. Now we will fight in the world, which is a country that is being played on the NATO platform, the European Union platform. So if the state is playing the single state, now even in conflict, the parties are united and facing the situation. We saw in the war on terror that the world is united and understood that the world is united and understood that the world is united and understood that the world is united and understood that the world is united and understood that they will fight against an unknown, unseen enemy that somewhere things happen and we see further issues in it. But the concern is that the economic resources of a state, who will run those resources and who will decide the social patterns of life? If the nation state will give its importance, then who will control our culture, our identity, our identity? Definitely this is a very big question. And those who have resources, will they control it? Here, the political sociologists have their own concerns. They think that this is not possible because it will become a base of new conflicts. The things are going on till the end of the cooperation. The nation state has threats, but we saw that when the threat of COVID came, then how again? The traveling was banned. State borders became important. So we can understand that a lot of these uncertain or unseen developments on the basis of those processes, we can claim that nation states are still relevant. Although there are many changes practically and theoretically. There are new concepts, there are new debates but still, the state is much more relevant specifically. That is why the basic duty of the state is to look after its own people. Where are we at? Of course, we are at the border with that region. So no one wants to lose that identity in the whole world. We can ask them who do not have their own state. And they are struggling for that. In many parts of the world, we can give an example of the Palestinians. We can talk about the Kashmiris. That how much they are suffering without in the absence of their own state or identity. If they do not have their own state identity, the list of their sufferings tells us that the future of the state is going towards the decline of some people. We can see that in some places, but ultimately, everyone is conscious about the identity and entity. So we can say that although there are some non-state actors, organizations, they are important, they are performing their duties. So the future of the state, although there are many questions, but still state is relevant.
