Abstract
India is known to world as “Unity in Diversity”, but this is not true all the times. When comes to the point of sharing resources of the country, state governments try to favor home state people. Intention is really good, but in due course this leads to interstate conflicts sometimes. As the natural resources are limited, the governments, officials and people will try to do favor to the nearby people by giving some extra resources.
India being a land of diversity has its own internal conflicts within the state or between the states for reasons related to resource majority of which being for the water and mineral resources which manifests due to increasing population and diverse socio-political landscape. In this paper the various conflicts and their reasons is pointed out.
Regionalism plays a vital role while sharing the resources mainly in the case of water, metals, and minerals. This is leading to conflicts and many a times central government and supreme court had to intervene to solve the conflicts. Growing population, shifting population and complex sociopolitical environment are also contributing to the above issue. There are wide variety of diverse resource conflicts in India in the last 70 years. The present paper focuses on various interstate conflicts and aftermath positions in the states after the independence.
