Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Refers to the political mobilization based on geographic identity, cultural homogeneity, or linguistic affiliations. Regional parties and movements (e.g., DMK in Tamil Nadu, TDP in Andhra Pradesh) advocate local interests—language protection, resource rights, or sub-state autonomy. While it can strengthen federalism and highlight regional needs, extreme regionalism risks secessionist sentiments or inter-state rivalries (e.g., water disputes). The Constitution accommodates these impulses via reorganization of states and cultural safeguards. Balanced regionalism fosters decentralized growth, acknowledging India’s diversity. However, responsible leadership is essential to maintain unity and avoid degenerating into parochial politics that undermine national integration.
