“we lose our identity”
"There is no book on the table" and "There is not a book on the table" communicate the same message but differ somewhat in word choice and emphasis.
The phrase "There is no book on the table" clearly indicates that there isn't one there. It implies that there isn't a book on the table when you look at it. It draws attention to the absence of a book and implies that there are no other books at all on the table.
The phrase "There is not a book on the table" expresses the same lack of a book, but it does so by using the negative word "not a." It implies that there wouldn't be a book on the table even if you looked for one. This phrasing is a bit more indirect and formal compared to the first statement.
Both expressions refer to the absence of a book on the table, and their meanings are identical. Whether one chooses one of these expressions or the other depends on the situation.
