I am not an expert here but IIRC those “nationalist “ liberation movements, especially the ones in the developing world were based on a “freeing” a country from oppression (the imperialism you spoke of) and very little of the ideology was based on ethnic / racial Identity or the idea that people of a feather should flock together. Many of the movements were based on the idea that they would work with other such “national movements” as brothers. I am sure it got mixed up in some places, especially in MENA (no offense) but that’s how I recall it.
Obviously depends on the specific case. The Turks had their war of liberation against the French and of course their oppression of the Kurds is a textbook case of the horrors of ethnonationalism. But then your namesake's independence movement in India had a much more inclusive vision.
