Do you agree with following statement - “Political boundaries and regional boundaries need to be co-terminus.”?

Frontier of states and countries are called boundaries. Political boundaries may expand to less or more than the regional boundaries. Regional boundary is a geographical concept of boundaries which divides areas of landmass.

While political boundary shows the area of administration under one government, demarcated either geographically or politically. It is said that while partitioning any country or state cultural gradient of the neighbouring population should also be observed. Unification of cultural integrity is required to maintain political boundary safely.

The political boundary may cover areas very far from the region under administration also. Archaepologers are examples that show that though regional boundaries end on each separate island; the political boundary does not end, and cannot end if the cultural and traditional integrity is maintained, though India is an exception with variety of cultures. So, both kinds of boundaries couldn’t be co-terminus.
