    Write a short note on the growth of regional political parties in India.

    Answer:

    The growth of regional parties goes back to the "Geo-political nature of India" India is a country of a continental size and a heterogeneous population. It has a plural society and democratic culture.
    Continental size, heterogeneous population, Plural society, Democratic culture have led to the desire for political autonomy and thus the growth of Regional parties. These parties are more sensitive to the specific interest of a region and protect and preserve the regional identity.
    Dominance of Congress: The Congress High Command treated the state units not as autonomous but as subordinate branches of the Congress. This hurt the pride and dignity of the people of the state as their leaders were treated like puppets. They wanted regional parties to represent their interests.
    All these causes led to the rise of various regional parties in India.
