A nation is a collection of a group of people having a sense of common belonging and shared identity (common heritage by nationalist centiments) and the concept of region can be multi-faceted.
How the concept of nation does not negate concept of region:
1. Indian union is federal in character which does not involve a written agreement but does give the states recognition in practice. Thus Indian nation is a cumulative aggregation of several regions.
and a common feeling of nationalism. Thus a nationalism's a feeling that overshadow that the regional differing not necessarily eliminating them.
For eg: Several of our freedom fighters had different regions like Lajpat Rai (lung), Tilak (Maha), Subhash Bose (WB), etc but this common feeling of nationalism bound them together.
The national anthem of India requires the region on its lines.
Indian nation proudly showcases its multi ethnic population, and multi-religious society as a form of unity in diversity.
How regionalism negate concept of regions
1. The nation is always larger than regional 'identity' and thus it sometimes led to suppress the
extinction dissident related to some regional aspect eg- Khalistan uprisings, Separation of Sikh & religious communities - Several region have their specific problems which can be better addressed by local administration, while the national perspective may sideline them.
Minority region - culture, language, race, religion get overlooked in a national perspective eg- the under developed goathland, backward region of ladakh, etc
Thus the regional 'identity' has been strong in India but the national identity overshadow it however, it must be made sure that the aspiration of regions must be poppy admired.
