Regionalism has been the most potent force in Indian politics since India’s independence. It has remained the basis of regional political parties. It is a significant type of sub-territorial loyalty. Interestingly enough, regionalism in India, has flourished in close identification with the regions.


In the post-independence period, it has often been conflicting as well as collaborating force, largely depending on the manner of accommodation. Regionalism in India is deeply rooted in its manifold diversity of languages, cultures, tribes, religions, communities, etc. It originates from the feeling of regional concentration, which is often fuelled by a sense of regional deprivation. The country of more than a billion people of different castes, creeds, customs and cultures, India’s broad regions are distinct from one another. For instance, southern India, the home of Dravidian cultures, itself a region of many regions is very different from the north.

To say, every region is quite different from one another, will not be an exaggeration. 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.

 “Theoretically speaking, various forms of regional cooperation are touted as suitableresponses for developing countries to foster sustainable economic growth within thecontext of a globalized economic system. Nevertheless, the primacy of domestic politicsand constituent interests must always be considered when analyzing the prospects for such regional cooperation. Given South Africa's current socio-political and economicstructure, how do you envisage the prospects for regionalism in the contemporary globaleconomic climate?”This essay will argue for the prospects of regionalism in the Southern African region,taking into account the contingencies of the global economic climate in which the regionfinds itself. Additionally, attention will be drawn to the domestic socio-political andeconomic structure of South Africa, highlighting the effects that these conditions have inthe region and the more broad consequences they might have for the regionalism project.Modern world history from at least 1648 to the present day is in essence the history of anincreasingly globalized world. This history is not teleological in the sense that it “assumesthe existence of an inexorable historical process leading to a universal human community”(McGrew, 1993 : 73). Rather it can be seen as the interaction of discontinuous dialecticalprocesses that consist in “mutually opposed tendencies”(Giddens, 1990 : 64). Before ananalysis of the Southern African region can be made, this contextual history - in which theregion exists - must be elucidated
