| Article Name : | | | REGIONALISM OF BORDER DISPUTES AN OVERVIEW | | Author Name : | | | Mahalinga K , Chikkanna | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-6171 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | It is generally said – we can change history, not geography. Nevertheless, there are many instances when geography has been changed – some times by political decisions, sometimes by wars, at other times by some great engineering feat. Since the last 100 years human activities responsible to border disputes, and the ecological collapse it invited have changed geography. In this situation in which the teeming millions languish under the crushing burden of poverty, only about twenty per cent of the populations enjoy the benefits of development. This ever- widening gap between the two groups of India constitutes the root cause of inter-ethnic, inter-communal and inter-regional conflicts-various manifestation of regionalism. Regional parties play a prominent role in the spread of regionalism and in creating regional consciousness. | | Keywords : | | |
