        abstract = {This article explores the emergence of regionalism in modern India, tracing its historical roots and examining its contemporary implications. By analyzing key historical events and socio-political movements, the study highlights how colonial legacies, linguistic diversity, and cultural identities have shaped regional consciousness. The rise of regional parties and the demand for autonomy reflect the complexities of federalism in India, challenging the central government's authority while reshaping political dynamics. Furthermore, the article discusses the implications of regionalism for national integration, social cohesion, and governance, emphasizing the need for a nuanced understanding of regional aspirations in the context of a diverse and pluralistic society. Ultimately, this examination sheds light on the interplay between regional identities and national unity, offering insights into the future trajectory of Indian politics.},
