Answer 1

Answer:

Regional imbalances or disparities means wide differences in per capita income, literacy rates, health and education services, levels of industrialization, etc. between different regions. Regions may be either States or regions within a State. In India there are enormous imbalances on various accounts.

Adverse climate and proneness to flood are also responsible factors for poor rate of economic development of different regions of the country as reflected by low agricultural productivity and lack of industrialisation. Thus these natural factors have resulted uneven growth of different regions of India.

Reasons behind Growth of Regionalism in India

• Historical and geographical isolation
• Lop-sided development
• Continuous neglect of a region
• Insider-outsider complex that nurturers nativism and son-of-the-soil ideology
• Internal colonialism, i.e., despite being rich in natural resources some regions remain economically underdeveloped.
• The reasons being either ill-conceived top-down approach or survival of one region at the cost of the other region. Chhota Nagpur plateau is an example of this type of underdevelopment.
• Political vested interests can accentuate and exploit regional loyalties.
• Reaction to an imposed ideology that can make its appearance as a reaction against the perceived imposition of a particular ideology, language or cultural pattern on all people and groups.
• Linguistic aspirations that have remained a formidable basis of regionalism.
• Expression of ethnicity.
