Question
Explain the following concept.
Regionalism
Solution
- Regionalism arises when the feeling of affinity develops for a language and region, gradually becoming an identity consciousness.
- Here, people mainly think about the interests and development of their region and believe that they should have a claim over their area's resources and employment opportunities.
- Due to this, they feel proud of their language, literature, traditions, history of social reforms, and educational and cultural movements. This leads to the development of a 'linguistic identity'.
- When such linguistic, regional, cultural and other identities connect, a strong feeling emerges: ' regional consciousness'.
- This sometimes leads to independent political parties, pressure groups, or movements.
