Answer:
Regionalism persists as a major challenge to the Indian nation in the form of economic disparity, colonialism had created modern economic infrastructure according to its needs for the market and raw materials.
As a result some regions remained backward, only few around Calcutta, Bombay and Madras had undergone modern industrial development. Attempts were made in the post-independence phase to tackle the disparities to the backward states through planning and disbursement of grants by finance minister.
The roots of these sates backwardness lies in their socio-economic and political organisation itself. Land reforms were not properly implemented in Bihar and eastern U.R In Bihar and Orissa even land consolidation unlike Punjab and Haryana have not taken place effectively. Backward states have a lower level of infrastructural facilities such as power. Irrigation, roads, telephones and modern market for again cultural produce.
