Answer 1

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.
