One of the serious problems that India is facing is regionalism. A strong feeling of people in favour of the local area in which they live is called regionalism. It helps the people to take initiative for all-round progress of the local areas. But the extreme regionalism harms the national unity and interest. Locally centred emotional attachment is an obstacle to overall national growth. If extreme regionalism among the states is allowed to continue it will cause serious disputes among states. It leads to unhealthy development of the country.
