Question

Regionalism is considered as the greatest challenge to the national integration of India . But sometime, this thinking is reasonable also . Support the statement with any two suitable argument.

Answer 1

Introduction

India has always been seen by our historians as a unique example of unity in diversity. In spite of regional, linguistic, religious and ethnic differences dividing India into apparently irreconcilable social groups, we too have found India one and united.

Casteism

The discrimination on the basis of Caste and class is a major hurdle for National Integration of India. The people engaged in weakening the unity of the country tried desperately to create divisions and rifts in the name of castes, creed and culture.

They succeeded in creating mistrust among the Indians and in tearing the façade of unity.

Linguism

India has multiple languages. Linguism is yet another major problem for National Integration.

The Indian states have been divided on the basis of linguistic basis. The bad people took advantage of this. Even the people living in one province began feeling alienated from those in other provinces.
