Abstract: This article deals on transnationalism and cosmopolitanism as mutually inclusive ideals. Transnationalism believes in the transcendence of different types of boundaries that divides humans. Cosmopolitanism is an ideal, which stresses on the fact that all human beings belong to a single community based on a shared morality. Both the ideals stress that the whole world is borderless. These ideals believe in the view of transnational world-view. It means much inclusive to moral, economic, and political relationships between nations or individuals of different nations. The concept of cosmopolitanism is that all human beings, regardless of their citizenship, religion, political affiliation and other forms of boundaries, belong to a single community. Cosmopolitan theory considers the individual human being as the basic unit. The ideal of cosmopolitanism does not believe in any kind of border, rather it erases/transcends the borders created to narrow down and divide humans giving various names like nationality, culture, religion and so on which is similar to transnationalism.

Keywords: transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, border, community, humanity.
