WHAT IS REGIONALISM? IS IT A CHALLENGE TO NATION BUILDING IN INDIA

Answer 1

Answer:

Meaning of regionalism is the theory or practice of regional rather than central systems of administration or economic, cultural, or political affiliation.

Explanation:

Regionalism is a strong feeling of pride or loyalty that people in a region have for that region, often including a desire to govern themselves. In politics, regionalism is a political ideology focusing on the "development of a political or social system based on one or more" regions and/or the national, normative or economic interests of a specific region, group of regions or another subnational entity, gaining strength from or aiming to strengthen the consciousness of and loyalty to a distinct region with a homogeneous population", similarly to nationalism.
