Regionalism: A Curse That's Holding Us Back

One of the biggest challenges to overcome in our country today is regionalism.

Each and every state, city, town, ought to be aspiring to become more cosmopolitan, more diverse, more open.

And in many many parts of the country exactly the opposite seems to be happening.

Can you sense this?

It's pretty uneducated, pretty shallow, petty retrograde, if you ask me.

Maybe the concept of states is disadvantageous to start with. Maybe big cities taking responsibility for towns and villages within a certain radius ~ full stop. Let each such "city-towns-villages cluster" find representation in the parliament. And that's it.

No linguistic barriers, no cultural barriers, no insider-outsider sentiments, no resource barriers, no borders within the country's borders, everyone lives as one.
