Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In India, regional feelings have created considerable impact on the political system. Regionalism means love for a particular region or area or state in preference to the nation as whole. Regionalism occurs due to continuous neglect of a particular area or region by the ruling authorities, or it may spring as a result of increasing political awareness among the backward area people who lately realize the importance of development and they begin demanding forcefully for the justice. Parochialism and regionalism is a conspicuous phenomenon of India&amp;amp;rsquo;s political life. Feelings of regionalism grow due to the problem of uneven socio economic development.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
