Regionalism stands for the love of a particular region or an area in preference to the nation or any other region. In Indian context, regionalism refers to assertion of distinct ethnic, linguistic or economic interests by various groups within the nation. Since the roots of regionalism lie in linguistic, ethnic, economic and cultural identities of the people living in specific geographical area, political scholars have treated various forms of regionalism which include economic regionalism, linguistic regionalism, political regionalism and even sub-regional movements in the general frame of regionalism.
India since Independence has witnessed different forms of regional inequalities in terms of economic growth, resources , infrastructure, etc. giving rise to subregional feelings , hence demand for separate states ex. Movements in Vidarbha region, Darjeeling / Gorkhaland in West Bengal , demand for Telangana ( now a State), etc. disputes like water sharing construction of irrigation and power dams , etc. ( between Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala ,Karnataka, Haryana , Delhi , etc.). Thus, even though inequality among different states and regions could be a potential source of trouble but despite breeding discontent and putting pressure on the political system, this problem has not so far given rise to regionalism or feeling of a region being discriminated against the other.
Thus, we can say that due to the efforts of Central Govt. the regional feelings have so far been kept under limits. Also, Regionalism in its entirety is not negative as it plays a vital role in preserving cultural diversity of the country and can also at the same time be of great help in removing regional disparities in development. However, if uncontrolled, it can also become a cause of national disintegration.
