🔆Regionalism
✅Regionalism, a political ideology that focuses on the interests of a particular region or group of regions. Regionalism seeks to the political attributes associated with people’s love for their region, culture, language, etc, with a view to maintain their independent identity.
✅Further, Regionalism is a political movement that seeks to advance regional cause of development. As a process it plays role within the nation as well as at international level.
✅Both types of regionalism have different meanings and have positive as well as negative impact on society, polity, diplomacy, economy, security, culture, development, negotiations, etc.
✅The meaning of the term of regionalism at national level refers to a process in which sub-state factors become increasingly powerful.
✅Flence, Regionalism leads to amplifying a region’s influence and magnifying its political prowess through pacifistic ways such as devolution and decentralization as well as more aggressive means like separatism or even a struggle for independence. For example, demand for separate state as Telangana, Gorkha territorial Administration, Vidarbha region, Bundelkhand region in UP and even early demand for separate states on linguistic basis.
📍Iqbal Narain has identified three major types of regionalism in India.
✅Supra-State Regionalism: It is built around the issues of common interest in which group of states form a common political alliance, directed against either the similar alliance of other states or the union. It is issue specific. Dravidian movement in southern states is an example.
✅Inter State Regionalism: It is co-terminus with state boundaries and involves juxtaposing of on or more state identities against another or specific issues, which threaten their interest. River water in general and border dispute in particular are its manifestations. It is evident from conflict between Karnatka and Tamil Nadu over sharing of Cauvery water, or border dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka.
✅Intra-State Regionalism: In this, a regional community is against the state in which they are situated. It aimed at assuring oneself of self-identity and selfdevelopment. E.g Khalistan movement.
