Hi Uttam,

A drop down being open/closed is a great example of what React State is perfect for! Having state collocated with the component makes it much easier to understand than putting it in some external Redux store. If you’re using Redux that way, you’re basically just introducing global state for everything across your app which can get out of hand quickly!
