4. Accommodation of Regional Aspirations and National Integration:

As observed from the discussion of the movements involving demands of autonomy and secession described above it is evident that that the regional aspirations are part of democratic politics. Expression of such aspirations can be found across the globe. In UK, there are regional aspirations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Spain faces such issue in Basques and Sri Lanka in Northern Province of the country.

Significantly, it can be argued that suppression of regional aspirations is not the best way out, rather deliberative consultation and negotiated solution within democratic norms is always possible.
