Lmao this man manages to put a line in every country.
😂😂😂
British empire map makers hate him
He is definitely crossing the line now!
and you bomb in every country
@MasterChef well thats the joke
It feels like every nation has a population "Line" and real-lifelore is going to cover it all.
And we'll be here for it
Population centers exist and real life lore is SHOOKETH should be the title of half his videos
Waiting for him to cover how 80% of brazil lives at about 100km from the coast while(almost) no one lives in the amazon
Real Line Lore
Of course every nation has a population line. You can take any arbitrary area and draw a line that divides a certain percentage of the population from the rest. Whether or not that line has any geopolitical meaning is what RealLifeLore is good at describing, though.
Fun fact : Within Mumbai we have a national park admeasuring 104 sqkm. So 20 million people are packed in an area less than 500sq km.
2 million*
You have written million in place of lakh
@@kiyotakaayanokouji7339 Its million and I know what I'm typing. You may check facts .
Not to mention Aarey Milk Colony opposite to that. Not technically a national park but it's a green zone. Along with Huge Undeveloped Green Zone at Eastern Suburbs where Eastern Express Highway goes through!
@@clydeds123 Agree...
Its 20 million @kiyotakaayanokouji7339
As you rightly said, the population is very densely concentrated in the plains and the basins of rivers of north India. Rivers have been a crucial part of the Indian civilization. The Indus valley culture, the Vedic society, and other cultures flourished because of the rivers of Indian subcontinent. Indian religious texts give a lot of importance to rivers. Rivers are considered sacred. Like a god or a goddess. People still bathe in the Ganges (even when the water quality isn't the best) because they see it as a purifying ritual to wash away their sins.
A bit of a correction: The Deccan Plateau has large areas of black soil, resulting in the largest area under cotton cultivation in the world and make India one of the top cotton producers. Also, sugarcane is grown in South India as much as in the north.
Islamic culture & islamic mentality (religion)will finish Pakistan.

Me, being an Indian had no idea northeastern states (Meghalaya and Manipur) had a such a high fertility rate! It's astonishing to to see the diversity in India... one could live just a 500 miles apart and look, dress and speak completely different!

As a non-Indian, I always think the Brahmaputra river deserves more attention. It's not as famous as Nile, Amazon, or Mississippi, but Brahmaputra's trail is simply equally impressive, originating from high plateau of Tibet and flowing through vast portion of Tibet as well, carving through Himalayas to create some of the deepest valleys around the world, and when the river actually reaches the lowland of India, the sheer scale of the river becomes simply mighty. I haven't been to India to see the river myself, but just the photos and footage on the Internet already amaze me.
Brahmaputra is the widest river in the world containing several large river islands. At some places it literally looks like a sea.
Some parts its width ranges between 15-20 km, and it is easily visible from space and it is the deepest river in india , and when ganga and brahmaputra join to form meghna in bangladesh its became the worlds 3 rd biggest river in terms of water discharge per second after amazon and congo river....
Its basically a compressed sea, from when Bengal & the North Indian plain was a big lake of sea water.
China is exploiting that river to control water over India.
As a result its floods have also been devastating
Good explanation. Have to admit that even though I spent a couple of years in India, albeit at a younger age, I learned something new today. While I knew the north was populous I never realized it was that dense. Making this video certainly helps anyone educate themselves as to how population density patterns might have developed in India.
The map is distorted .. report this video
Why are these ancient countries keen to create population? I personally think that the cultures of these ancient civilizations are anti-modern civilizations and anti-human rights

This video fully explains why Bangladesh has a higher population than Russia as well, it's just the fact that throughout the human history this region has been so fertile that people in general never had to go through the similar hardship faced by people living in colder or dryer regions
and if certain indian states were to be independent like west bengal or uttar pradesh they'd have similar to even higher population then Bangladesh
If west bengal and Bangladesh were a single country or a state within India, then it would have 25-26 crore people. That's more than UP in a less area.
It was the British hatred towards India that they encouraged partation on religious lines. If that would have not happened then our population would have been 1.8 Billion now. British simply divided the best agricultural and economic regions of India. AND WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THAT.
Yeah, Uttar Pradesh as a separate country would be the 5th most populous country after India,China,USA, and Indonesia lmao
Pretty crazy considering it would only be 80th by landmass, just 400 km² more than the U.K
@@StarKillerSK please don't be woke hindu vs Muslims go partition because of differences of religions....
@@kr-us6ek i love how both of you just say this shit with no knowledge of the past, blaming whatever makes you happiest. India-Pakistan partitioned for multiple reasons, but its 75 years in the past now. Move on for gods sake
Also, i dont think you know what "woke" means. Its definition is literally to oppose social injustice/oppression/discrimination
Though politics also matter. Ukraine is one of the most fertile places in the world and yet between 1991 and 2014 it's population decreased from 54 million to 42 million.
Ironically enough it's actually the poverty of Bangladesh. The higher the standards of living the lower the birthrate tends to be. The lowest birthrates in the world are found in South-Korea with Japan and western Europe not far behind. Europe has had a negative population growth for a full century and the only reason it's still around is due to a continuous immigration. If that immigration were to stop they would go downhill very fast.

Yes, the glaciers help maintain river flow during India's dry season, but over the whole year, the VAST majority of water contributed to India's rivers comes from RAIN falling on the southern slopes of the Himalayas and their foothills, and on the Indo-Gangetic plain itself.
I traveled overland from Chennai to Kochi, across the dry plains of Tamil Nadu, over the Western Ghats, and down into the lush jungles of Kerala. Aside from the region being fascinating culturally, the geographic diversity of South India is incredible. The best of this was Munnar, where the climate is just right for mass tea production. The verdant hills covered with tea plantations makes it one of the most beautiful places I've visited.
Am malayali. you didnt travel "over" the ghats but through them via the palakkad gap. Munnar is on the western ghat range though, a popular tourist destination. if you visit again, explore the less travelled areas, you'll find endemic species of animals and birds and beauty beyond beleif.

I'm from Kerala, southern state in India. We get more than 3000 millimetres of rain every year. While the neighbouring state Tamil Nadu receives only less than 1000 millimetres of rain every year. This clearly shows the impact of western ghats on the climate of India.

Now that's called a good rather incredibly informative content.. nice work.. amazing one .. go on with the success flag.. it will be awesome to see you as a geography HOD in an Indian School or Collage.
My hometown was on the edge of Western Ghats and believe me, the amount of rainfall most places in India receive is something most Westerners cannot comprehend.. It is genuinely an ungodly amount of rain to the point that it is more destructive than helpful to agriculture.. Also most of the water goes back to the Arabian Sea and some of it flows eastward..

As a Bangladeshi and as a part of North Indian Plain I can confirm that the amount of rain that pours here is unfathomable to most of the westerners. Assam & Meghalaya(Wettest place on earth) recorded 858mm of rain just in June 2022 and we happened to be on the receiver end of all the water. For context London receives 585 mm of rain throughout the year.
*wettest

Ohhh so that's where all the water goes. As an Indian I'd wonder where all the water that hits meghalaya goes
As a westerner I watched this video thinking: most of these are reasons why you wouldn't want to live there :p
London gets a bit more rain than that, depends on the source
But I get what you mean, here in Iberia a lot of places have had -300mm of yearly rainfall, sometimes even bellow 200mm
Your videos are informational. As an Indian, I didn't know about such amazing facts.
Very informative... Even for an Indian as myself 😅
Thanks !
I am from Chhattisgarh- a tiny anamoly between the north and south divide. You might have noticed in the precipitation map that a deep blue stretch was seen in the middle of the country. That's the Mahanadi Basin. The name "Mahanadi" literally translates to "The Great River". Mahanadi is one of the biggest rivers of the country and the river provides continuous water supply to Chhattisgarh forming an arch and thus a wonderful river basin. Chhatiisgarh on a political map looks like a sea horse, but on a topographical map looks like a sink, or a bowl. Its surrounded by hills- a segment of Aravalli mountain ranges and various other hills that trap the monsoon winds forming almost a lake like catchment. This generates a suitable enviornment if paddy plantation which is why CG is also a leading producer of rice. The population of Chhattisgarh is quite low compared to other states, however its still more than the entire population of Australia.

As a South Indian(from Karnataka), our dams and other infrastructure have become part of our identity. They have literally transformed our lands from arid, infertile patches to land that can even grow rice.

One thing which wasn't discussed in this video are that most of those areas of India with the highest fertility rates also are the poorest states in India and lag behind when it comes to education, GDP, and access to birth control. More developed parts tend to have lower fertility rates for the same reason we see it in highly industrialized countries and cities.
No relationship between access to birth control and being poor. Every urban city has govt control, hence birth control is forced upon by health dept workers. Villages are less governed by govt, hence they don't need it.
Well haryana's GDP per capita higher than any southern and western state.
But you wanted to bring this point when it's not related to video.
Till 1990 this area was still most populated.
BTW no part is most developed.
For millennia North was the center of invasion and conflicts coming from the west. Most of that area was neglected by the British and mostly used as farmland while they industrialized the south to process the produce for trade. Post independence these poor states had the most voters so became the center of all the bad politics in the country. Now that constant neglect over centuries has become ingrained in the psyche of the people and social backwardness has become the normal here.
@@makodad yes correct, and Christian missionaries started their job of converting in the south.
@@NarutoUzumaki-xd4db because of delhi ncr , satellite cities of delhi contribute a lot in neighboring states, and haryana and punjab had very low population density ....
As a guy from hyderabad, i must say that southern lands are more fertile than what the narrator has conveyed. Indian's one of the forest reserve do exist in southern part filled with rich soil which is perfect for vegetables and crops.
That's because of River water rather than Rain and glacier water in the Northern part of India !!!

@@AbhishekRajNahar it's cause we have rich black soil though it may seem pale in comparison to north it's actually one of the world's most fertile plains
@@arcaakvira the black soil in India is not same as the other black soils. Indian black soil is because of basaltic rocks and the other black soil like mississippi's is black because of humus content.

It’s not accurate to say that the mountains block the movement of air. The air does flow over the mountains, but nearly all the moisture in the air precipitates out before reaching the summit due to adiabatic cooling. The process happens in reverse as the air descends the other side of the mountain, where the air warms as air pressure increases, resulting in a humid air mass that can hold almost all the remaining moisture in the air without precipitating.

Superb video. Largest Commercial & Industrial Centre Of North is located in Delhi NCR. In West it is Mumbai. In East Kolkata & In South it is Chennai. But if you observe outskirts of Chennai, Bangalore or Hyderabad there are no continuous population distribution. But Kerala is not like that. From Kasargod to Thiruvananthapuram. From Ponnani to Palakkad. The population density is mind blowing. (Most densely populated chain like human inhabitation in the subcontinent after Yamuna - Ganga regions comprising the states of Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, UttarPradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and country of Bangladesh.)
Excellent presentation!!!

This year wheat produce has been very high. They forgot to keep all the producer inside and at night stray cattles visited and ate some of that ,. But since the produce is good no one cares . Everyone is in good mood.

@@sinofpride1235 See I can’t even tell the difference haha 😂
I'd suggest to look at literacy rates or some other metric of how developed the places are as I think that would tell part of the story too.
In the 21st century being dependent too much on Agriculture is not a good choice. North India is too dependent on Agriculture due to Geography but South India has dominant Services & Manufacturing Sector which explains why majority of India's Metropolitan cities lie to the South of the Vindhyas.
I guess you could say that all those mountains really "ghat" all the water.
I'll see myself out now.
get out of youtube..just get lost in the cosmos
I live in the southern side of the line you mentioned in the state of maharashtra people are mostly concentrated in cities if you go in mountainous regions and very remote villages you will find very less people there.
It became apparent to me that himalayas is one of the most important geological features of the face of this planet. It is the source to Indus, Ganges, Bramaputra, Irrawady, Mekong, Huang He and Yangtze. It provides fresh water to most of Asia and more than 50% of humanity. And if it weren't for these rivers, perhaps none of the Asian civilizations would have started. Crazy to think about.
The real reason is lack of birth control measures in the states mentioned in the video. 1950s didn't have that kind of divide, was more like 30-35 % odd above that line
So everytime someone goes up the top of Mount Everest they could do it every year again because they technically didn't reach the peak of the Mountain
yup
or just jump once you've reached the peak, you'll be covered for atleast a century
Nope. They reach the peak. The growth comes from the base of the mountain, not the top. It’s more like every year someone can go to the base of Mount Everest and experience new mountain.
As far as the population explosion is concerned, the damage was done 30-40 years ago when the fertility was over 3 for most of india, as shown in the video the fertility rate is either at 2 or even below that, its fallen so rapidly that some researches even fear that India might grow old before it can actually become rich so you can't even introduce aggressive population control policies like China did. Unfortunately, the 2 states that stick out like a sore thumb in almost every statistic about India and its states, the same states also contribute to nearly 30% of india's population.
The biggest fear which people ignore is corruption. japan and China were at far worse position than India 50 years back. But look where they have reached now. Indians are still crying and blame the British
poorer areas generally tend to have higher fertility rates, vice versa
From another pov, UP and Bihar will rule India in the future 😂 because they'd have a much younger population base than other states.
damage ?? population is not the problem, its how the society manages it, i.e. good food, education & health. All places on earth had a population explosion in the 20th century, its just that India(especially the north) had a bigger base.
Also population explosion is not because suddenly everyone started to have more babies it is because most babies born STOPPED DYING.
@@mobob7989 that's my point, they are the poorest areas in India and continue to hold a significant chunk of India's population.
UP(17%) + Bihar(9%) + Bengal (8%)+Madhya Pradesh(7%)+ Delhi-Punjab-Haryana (6%)+ Jharkhand (3%)= 50% of India's population
Approximate figure just to give an perspective
So the areas drained by Ganges and Yamuna rivers alone constitutes 50% of population
Brahmaputra , Godavari,Krishna and Cauvery have their own fan base as well
The map is wrong here
I studied all this in geography in middle school here.
Still fascinated by this
I want to take a pee in the ganges, would you recommend?
Unfortunately the education system does not make this information nearly as clear nor interesting. It somehow manages to kill any interest that students might have.
@@srinidhisrinivas9434 I dont agree though, it's the students who don't have an appetite to learn about Indian geography or history...
I had an additional Atlas book for geography where we friends used to memorise each country flag name and capital and play games by asking each other whose flag it is with the name hidden with hand or show the world map with no labels and ask the country, ocean name. Got interested in history because of Akbar movie, serial, Mangal Pandey movie, Gandhiji and was curious as to how and why did that tiny island nation, Britain conquerored our humongous India.
Most importantly the Indian students are so shy, timid and are afraid to ask the teacher inside the class. So they stay silent the whole class and listen mindlessly but few clever kids would always ask the teacher...
The effect of the wester ghats is similar to the southern alps in new zealand: very wet, lush west coast, flat, dry plains from the mountains to the east coast (where I live, in Canterbury!)
Yes, Kerala (where I live) is the wet side of Western ghats while the other side is arid.
Hello Sophia, how was your day today
Dope. Very educational
this is a next level video it's really AWESOME
As an Indian American who just went to visit the Himalayas, I greatly appreciated and truly understood this video so much more. It's so beautiful and lush green up North with all those hills and rivers. Down South where I'm from it's still surprisingly green and theres a lot of water coming in, especially into my dads state of Andhra Pradesh, but in Tamil Nadu its hella dry in places. The river going through my hometown is more often bone dry than not.
It's weird to hear the word "dry" associated with Tamil Nadu, when Chennai gets sometimes enormous monsoon level rainfall. Then again, my family is from there and we haven't really explored anywhere else in TN.
The reverse monsoon season! Due to cyclones during the time of November and December Tamilnadu's coast recieve a lot of rainfall!
@@nahor88 rains in Chennai do not flow inwards into TN and feed the dry lands
All rain water funnels back to Ocean
Ya tamilnadu is mostly depend on water of kaveri, and water of dams from kerala like iduki, shiruvani etc
We don't fetch water from Idukki, that's Mullaiperiyar. Siruvani is only for Covai city's consumption.
that region has always been populous because of the Ganga plain since ancient times and may be remain that way in the future too
Good informative researched documentary
I wish i had got an geography teacher like you when i was in school 🎒📚
Yeah, I live in Uttar Pradesh and it is already pretty damn populated... Adding another millions looks impossible. 😅
Uttar Pradesh I think will likely add another 30-40 more million people. To be honest its not that populated. Its just that UP is still not urbanised. Just 10 megacities in UP can inhabit most of the population, leaving the rest of the state empty.
@@PK-tt5kk True.
Nothing is impossible
Only cities are crowded leave the cities its bilkul khali like just farms and villages.
Well, it is pretty crowded here in the west side cities. Don't know outside of NCR though.
One other reason for low agriculture activity in Southern India can be understood by the mineral distribution chart and type of activity are involved in. Southern India is much rich in natural resources and minerals, and people are less involved in agriculture sector. Also, Southern India has larger non-veg eating population also, they are involved in fishing. This further reduces the dependence on agriculture sector.
The thing is other way round. Traditionally South Indians couldn't do as much farming as the people in North that is why they had to find alternative ways of feeding their people and earning livelihood like fisheries, more non veg, and other non agricultural occupations.
@@harshulgupta4604nope,south indian love to eat meat,,who wants to eat the tasteless vegetables yuck,even on festivals we sacrifice animals in temples for god and eat including beef in tamilnadu,if you don’t believe you can come and see for yourself, you’ll find beef in every corner of the street
If you have 10 seconds .... So plz vote in my community poll plz...

@@Geopolitics_Explained where?
@@harshulgupta4604😂 no sea in landlocked areas. Kerala sea food main item
What an amazing video!
The sheer amount of people makes the prospect of living in India seem utterly hellish, especially if you're claustrophobic
This is the geography lesson taught in school which we never paid attention to but then, the professors never used such awesome graphics to explain the diversity of our country. Thanks a lot for the video !!!!
You are thanking a terrorist showing wrong map of you country , you should immediately leave india , shame of our motherland ,idiot
The thumbnail is totally not going to be controversial at all
Bro, i was legit scrolling through the comments for someone had put, otherwise i was gonna
It took me a while to realise lol. And it shouldn't be controversial because it shows the real borders, nobody cares about ones or anothers claims
@@AmirSatt As an Indian, I would say that if a foreign CZcamsr is creating a video on India which involves showing India's map, then the creator MUST respect Indian territorial claims. We wouldn't have any objections if the ground realities were portrayed in other context but since the video targets an Indian audience (who are the single largest nationality to browse the internet), it was quite a snobbish decision to not maintain the Indian standards. It's like showing Palestine completely annexed by Israel in a video involving maps created for a Muslim audience.
@@anubratabit3027 then it would mean not being neutral and choosing side. And not everyone here is indian, I am muslim here lol (secular). You can claim and think as you want, but being offended by real borders is kinda strange ngl
@@AmirSatt I am fine with the truth but not the majority of Indians, given the current political atmosphere. Besides since when did the US version before synonymous with neutrality ?
Also fertility rate of South India Decreased after 1970 .. 1 or 2 child per family .. Decrease the Property and run towards wealth and pay more tax .. Check the Base population of India in 1947 and fertility rate ..
India is a place where you get people everywhere
The opposite happens in Scandinavia, the Norwegian mountains (and mountains in centrals Europe) aren't as high as the one's in the video so they only block the cold clouds, but let the the warmer air over them. This is what makes Sweden (and northern Europe) so temperate and fertile compared to everywhere else in the world on that latitude. Everywhere else is pretty much tundra.
This video is ENTIRELY WRONG. Population along the river basins of the Ganga (ganges) is high because the local governments there didn't implement family planning measures among the rural population, something which the southern Indian states did. The Northern states didn't do that because the large uneducated population was a vote bank for politicians.
Also, the population line needs to be lower as it doesn't include the densely populated areas of Bundelkhand and Bengal. I came across this video today and I replied to you as you have no replies and you seem genuinely interested.
@@orion7326 India had a ridiculously high relative population density long before any governments thought about family planning.
@@mupsoftaren Yes and that was higher in the south than in the north.
Indian gov started family planning in 1951. South India complied, north India didn't.
I knew North Eastern India gets the most rainfall in India, especially Meghalaya. But never did I imagine Northern most and North East India are this densely populated. I'm from South India and I know how fertile the lands around the banks of the Cauveri are, I can only imagine the land fertility in the North eastern now. Never did I expect I will learn more interesting Geography about my own country before I watched this video. Great video!
The Gangetic plains has one of the highest population densities in the world, due to the fertility of the region.
North-eastern side of India can't have high population density because it's a mountainous region.
Meghalaya is not densely populated compared to other states like Assam and Tripura. Average birth rate maybe higher but overall birth rate is nowhere near other states of India.
NE overall is sparsely populated. Only the Bramhaputra valley in Assam is densely populated.
Yeah terrain is also a factor but the fertility of the land must be high right?
The thing you need to understand is that the south-west monsoon which originates in the Arabian Sea forms the major chunk of rainfall in India, hence the continuity and large elevations of the western ghats actually have a greater detrimental effect on the Deccan plateau as otherwise to the Eastern ghats. Moreover, it is these same peaky mountain range that are responsible for the monsoon up in the north as they direct these clouds and winds towards the north
I must note that moist air can climb over mountains, but the air will then warm up and the saturation point will become higher so that the air is able to hold on the rain
The Deccan plateau appears to be an ideal region for strategic industrial development. Critical industries can be far away from the potential areas of conflict in the North and this could be vital for military related industries in particular. They also would displace less productive agricultural land than factories built in the North. There appears to still be adequate water supply for industries and workers. Perhaps some preference and incentives should be given on a national level to guide more industries to this area. It could potentially also be the center for foreign manufacturing investment to feed the increased demand for lower cost production outside of China.
It's already like that: most industrial activities are below the line, and if you look at a GDP map it would be vastly different. The north of India is agricultural. Most of India industrial and IT activities happens in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmadabad... all cities that are well below that line. Hyderabad in particular, in the middle of the Deccan plateau, has the highest number of special economic zones in the country and it is specialized in advanced industries (pharma in particular).
As an Indian i can say that most of the industries do lay on the deccan plateau
That's exactly how it is. The South and the west of India are significantly richer than the rest of the nation, with massive manufacturing sectors.
@@aurangzeb1618 No thanks. We just want autonomy, we love our country.
@vaibhavvishnoi7342 The map is distorted .. report this video
India beautyful country, and helping people nature... . I Love India
Me too
I hope to go there one day. Maybe with a one way ticket. Lol
Informative vedio full of fact 🔥🔥
The map of india is not correct In the thumbnail 😡😡😡
Can you just shut your mouth and enjoy the video and not scream that Kashmir situation????!!!!!!!he wouldn't ever hear your freaking cry and the majority Kashmir population are muslim too!it's only claimed by India because of that hindu king
