India is a vast country with diverse geography, comprising 28 states and 8 Union Territories. It is a multi-racial and multi-lingual nation with many regional languages, cultures, and different loyalties. In such a diverse country, it is natural for regional sentiments, regional parties, and organizations representing local interests to emerge. Over time, regionalism has grown stronger in India. This is not a new trend; it can be traced back to events like Potti Sriramulu’s hunger strike for the creation of Andhra Pradesh in 1956, which led to the reorganization of states along linguistic lines. The rise of regional parties, like the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in Andhra Pradesh in 1982, shows the continuity of regional aspirations. Regionalism does not have to be viewed as negative or against national interest, as long as it does not turn militant or promote secessionist tendencies, as seen in Punjab’s troubled past. National unity is not threatened when people take pride in their regional language and culture. However, regionalism becomes a threat when politicians prioritize regional interests over national unity. There is no inherent conflict between nationalism and regionalism; the growth of regional values does not necessarily challenge the central governance of the country.
