helped or

I think Asian Nationalism has helped the
continent in many ways, first, it was not
necessary anti western because it established
new relationships with west based on equality
and self respect. Now the real challenge for Asia
is to think in terms of partnership and not
leadership because now there has arise a
consciousness of a new dignity and self respect
for people
