Answer 1

Hint:The regional aspirations reached a turning point during these years in the North-Eastern states which had witnessed several changes since 1947. Seven states were now included in this region, also called the seven sisters.

Complete Answer: Different regions have different rights and different linguistic factions want to retain their culture, these are called Regional Aspiration. The Indian Constitution directly states that the rights of different regions and linguistic groups shall not be denied.Many European countries saw cultural diversity as a threat to the nation whereas the Indian approach was very different. The fundamental tenet of the Indian approach was to stabilize unity and diversity.For the question of diversity, India adopted a democratic approach as the political expression of regional aspirations is permitted by democracy. Along with this, representative politics allows parties and factions to address society on the basis of their regional individuality.The 1980s were conceivably seen as a period of rising regional aspirations for liberation. During these years, movements like the armed assertion by the people, the repression by the government, and the downfall of the political and electoral procedures were frequent.It is also true that these movements and campaigns were long-drawn but these struggles were concluded through negotiated compromises, also called an accord between the union government and the faction directing the campaign for autonomy.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Note:The process of signing up an accord through the process of discussion that aims to alleviate any contentious question within the constitutional framework is never easy. The journey to an agreement is often tumultuous and violent.
