Question

Critically discuss regionalism in the context of northeast india

Answer 1

The democratic institutions face the challenge of having to address regional demands without being pulled and swept away by them. While at one level the State prefers to distance itself from conceding to regional demands, at another, large parts of the Northeast get regionally reorganized and configured without the State having done it — through the use of wanton violence mostly by non-State actors—a phenomenon we describe as “virtual regionalism”. As the new developmental initiatives undertaken since the 1990s start being perceived as a threat to people’s lives and their very existence, ethnic and regional demands are increasingly giving way to a concern for home, for life, and the imperative necessity of shared existence with neighbors who are not necessarily the members of the same ethnicity.

Answer 2

Regionalism is the very important aspect of Indian politics. In modern political and in cultural life it makes the diversity problems.

It destroys unity and ethics of the country. Because of that, the rate of economic growth will be reduced.

So that it is necessary to reduce the problem by creating the balanced regionalism development.
