Chhattisgarh in Making

Question of regional identity in the recorganization of Mdhya Pradesh is hereby presented, by introducing conceptual frame of the proposed Chhattisgarh State, reviewing antipodal elements in the region who form one third of the population, touching upon premises and purposes of tribal guerrilla movements, reflecting problems presently encountered in the process of split of a region, and concluding with an overview of political scenario. The interface of reorganization of Madhya Pradesh and accepting cultural identity in Chhattisgarhi context has two interrelated dimensions’ the pan-Indian, civilizational, on the one hand, and regional-cultural, on the other. At both the macro and micro levels, the development process needs to be informed and guided by the pluralistic and composite ethos of Chhattisgarh.
