This book seeks to explore and analyse a number of conceptual frameworks for its understanding. While regionalism has manifested itself as a violent demand for secession in certain parts of India, elsewhere it has been expressed in favour of demanding separate political and administrative units within the existing federal framework. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn North East India, regional grievances against the centre coupled with homogeneous cultural processes have strengthened the urge for autonomy and independent living. This, in turn, has found expression through the formation of political parties for the articulation of regional aspirations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Meghalaya, for example, a number of regional parties have been formed to ventilate regional grievances. In view of the steady growth of regional parties in Meghalaya, this book seeks to examine the nature of regionalism in Meghalaya as well as the reaction of some of the national parties towards regionalism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book also makes an attempt to conceptualize nationalism and examine its compatibility, or lack of it, with regionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eACKNOWLEDGMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER I\u003cbr\u003eConceptualizing Regionalism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER II\u003cbr\u003eRegionalism and Emergence of Regional Parties in Meghalaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER III\u003cbr\u003eRegionalism and National Parties in Meghalaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER IV\u003cbr\u003eRegionalism and Nationalism in Meghalaya Views of the Regional Parties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER V\u003cbr\u003eSupport Structure of Regionalism I An Analysis of the Economic Programmes of the Regional Parties of Meghalaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VI\u003cbr\u003eSupport Structure of Regionalism II an Analysis of the Political Programmes of the Regional Parties of Meghalaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHAPTER VII\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAPPENDICES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINDEX\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Susmita Sen Gupta \/ South Asia Publishers \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153691603312,"sku":"14500","price":49.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/14500.jpg?v=1793912660","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/regionalism-in-meghalaya","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
