Regionalism and Linguism

Distinguish Between

Solution

Regionalism Linguism
1. Regionalism refers to loyalty to one's own State or region before one's nation. This leads to Inter-State rivalries. Linguism is a form of excess loyalty towards one's own language. This leads to conflict between people based on language.
2. Regionalism emerges due to the desire for people speaking one language to have one State. There is also a strong urge to give priority to the economic development of one's own region. In every state, there is one dominant language and other regional languages, linguism emerges if the minorities begin to feel that their interests are being disregarded and their welfare ignored.
3. There is a strong desire to put one's own region's economic development first. Rivalries between states result from this. Linguism has become more serious and intense in recent years. It has resulted in a distinct form of linguistic nationalism, which can provide sufficient impetus for secession in India.
4. When people of any state feel their regional imbalance and lack of socio-economic development this has led to demand for separate states. Linguistic minorities feel that they are disregarded, and such narrow outlook results in the ill-treatment of the other linguistic group.
5. Regionalism is a divisive force that creates disrespect for people from other regions of the same country. It interferes with national integration to a great extent when the history of a particular region is glorified. Linguism divides people based on language. It has led to a definite form of linguistic nationalism which can provide enough fuel for separatism in India.
6. Regionalism has led to regional movements for State rights and militant movements for separatism.
For example, the Jammu and Kashmir issue, the Punjab problem, the Assam issue, etc.
Linguism has led to the unacceptance of Hindi as an official language of the Union across the country.
For example, the atrocities committed on linguistic minorities, The language issue is central to the boundary dispute between Maharashtra and Karnataka.
