  1. Politics and Regionalism

  2. REGIONALISM A composite society like India which consist of various ethnic, religious, linguistic, cultural and other groups, there is bound to be tension as result of the assertion of identity. Regional imbalances, economic and political inequality among the various regions. The sub-national factors have become more prominent and manifested in the form of violent agitations either demanding greater autonomy and power or demand for an independent state.

  3. The demand for exclusive privilege has, rights and safeguards has the tendency to become more and more rigid and these groups opt for isolation and voluntary segregation even after attainment of statehood and they do not intend to integrate with the national mainstream. Regionalism in India is promoted by politicians and political parties. They contribute to the growth of regionalism.

  4. It is been argued that regionalism has been promoted in India as a reaction against over-centralization. The division of legislative, administrative and financial authority is clearly biased in favour of the centre. All regionalism is not bad and it cannot be considered dangerous to the unity and integrity of the country.

  5. Regionalism is permanent feature of the Indian Political system. The regional political parties are more concerned with the interest of their states. The social diversity and regional commitments are some of the factors which bring out immediate success to the regional parties.

  6. CONCLUSION Hence we can see that politics of succession may not succeed in present day but the country has to face evil consequences like parochialism, factionalism, class conflict and group rivalries. In order to solve these problems the government has to adopt a constructive approach which should be in a position to neutralize the remoteness and general insenstivity.
