@@jjsinghsandhu5974 it's actually just 1600+ dialects, and African nations have a lot more than 1600.
I am from the South part( Kerala ).
The reason for Islam is that Kerala had significant connection to Arabia because of trade and it is said that a Hindu king travelled to Medina and met Prophet muhamed and converted to Islam. So we had muslims even before Iran or Pakistan had muslims.
Also we had Christians from 50 AD even before Christianity was introduced to many Europeans countries.
Also we have a small Jewish population ( most of them migrated to Israel ).
We have so many religions.
That's really interesting!
The last Zoroastrians, the Parsees, also live in India.
@@lionorfieldgules3740 Yeah! Intolerance is highlighted a lot in Indian media, but our country really is extremely diverse!
Can I learn more about the early christians?
@@smellyracoon1018 sorry, I'm not really a Christian so I don't know much of the specifics of the religion... From what I heard, one of the 12 disciples of Jesus came to Kerala in the mid-1st century AD. I do know that the vast majority of the Christians in India arrived in the last 500 years, and that most of them were Catholics. They lived in peace for the most part, though there have been many cases of intolerance in the communities, particularly between the Muslims and Christians. There is also the infamous inquisition by the church in goa, where most of the native Konkani people were either killed or converted by the Portugese.

The reason household size is larger in India is that it's common to live with your parents even after marriage. So you'll have grandparents, parents and children living under one roof.
Yes, I thought that too. Household size and number of children per household are very different. In many other countries, there are lots of one- and two-person households because children are encouraged to move out at 18 and people living in communal living settings (like students or the elderly) are still considered one-person households.
The largest language family isn't called Indo-European for nothing, and the sheer amount of different languages makes it a linguistic goldmine

India's meat consumption patterns are far more complicated than that. Even amongst the people who technically identify as non vegetarians, there are many who indulge in only "occasional" consumption. Regulars I know, too refrain from eating even an egg on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Then, there are festivals where meat and liquor is voluntarily given up by everyone, giving the entire industry its annual jolt. Then, Many meat items are completely banned, even illegal. If you measure total intake, then any Indian, though a non vegetarian, would be consuming more veg than non veg in any justifiable time frame. And yes, the reason is NOT ECONOMIC. Delicious wholesome biryani can be availed at less than 1$ anywhere in India.
Edit: As our compatriot Sidhartha has pointed out, non veg is also avoided for some time following demises within family.

On the map they have mistakenly set green for veg. and red for non-veg. It should be the other way around.
Well India have higher number of people in each house because of the joint families, most of the Indians live with their parents even if they have their own children
I think it´s interesting that, despite the fact that the majority of Bengali speakers became part of Bangladesh after the Partition, Bengali still manages to be one of the major languages of the country.
There is a state called west bengal in India.Also the partition was Based on religious differences not Linguistic barries.
And I would say majority of India's freedom fighters were Bengali.
Though Bangladesh was created for Bengali language, critical Bengali art, literature and cinema is produced in india. You'll see many Bangladeshis binge-watching indian Bengali serials.

The vegetarian map is half knowledge kind of because"non vegetarian" in India does not mean they have a meat based diet. It just means they eat non veg occasionally like weekly (or monthly during summer)
Looks like you are the one with half knowledge. Vegetarian = doesn’t consume meat, fish and eggs in any form. Anyone who does not fall into that bracket is a non vegetarian.
@@yj9032 yes that's what i am saying. But what the western countries might think is "oh so half people don't eat meat and half the people eat meat everyday, every meal". Because that's what they think. While atleast speaking for Maharashtra, most non vegetarian families eat meat rarely
@@yj9032 A lot of people consider Egg vegetarian, if you think its not you could extend this logic to mean milk is also non-vegetarian.

2 things: 1- the reason for the muslim majority in those islands is because of 14th-16th century arabic merchants that would give preferential pricing to fellow muslims, hence the wide adoption of the religion. 2- i loved the map comparing population sizes of states to countries and was wondering if you could do the same for some other large countries, notably china, the usa, and maybe brazil or japan. Amazing content keep up the great work!
Yeah that's accurate
Thought that the traders were the reason for Muslim presence in the isles!
Most of these maps are created by a yt channel by the name " India in Pixels"(as he mentioned).I dont think he that Indian guy would be interested in making a video on other countries.

@@user-hg2fx1rv4t what???
In the Map which depicts Vegetarian vs Non Vegetarian, You need to classify the map a bit more, because obviously a lot of Indians are Vegetarian, but in the Non vegetarian category, majority prefer only sea food or chicken, and a very small population actually eats the typical non veg or red meat (like beef, pork, etc.).. So those have to be also taken into consideration... Otherwise the video was really good!!!! As an Indian, I was waiting for you to upload this video... Great Job!!!
Dude only small percentage eat cow and beefs as beef shouldn't be eaten in certain religion and same for pork for other religion. So it's uncommon to find someone eating them .
@@vijaykumarjha7822 Exactly!
So the people who don't eat red meat, are they actually considered non vegetarian?? If yes then they should separated from the ones that only eat sea food or chicken..
Don't know but we odias mainly eat chicken, fish, goat, eggs, pigeon, etc. Though we don't eat meat on certain holy days like somabara or Monday and gurubara or Thursday. Here in my states even odia brahmins eat non-veg. The only veg people are immigrants like marwadi from marwar region and gujuratis.
@@lipsarath8728 there already is semi-vegetarian people who don't eat mammals. But that term often is unused
@@lipsarath8728 No they are still considered non-veg.

When they entered Todays North Snetinal island they have written in inscriptions that they are cannibals and gave a name to the Noerh sentinel island which mean land of Naked people
I think they mean to the uncontacted tribals of Andaman
@@cussan2thegamer791 Technically it wasn't referring to North Sentinel Island, but rather to the Nicobar Islands, so I guess Nicobar is an anglicised version of the Tamil name
@@cussan2thegamer791and the tribes they are hunting and gathering, and intolerant ,one christian missionary went in 2018 and was killed off, I saw a documentary on youtube about them. It amazes me that there are still few untouched tribes around the globe. I'm glad that unlike other western countries(US and Canada, Australia etc) we didn't perform any genocide on the sentinelese.

You might have noticed, that the 5 Southern states are very rich compared to their Northern counter parts. They contribute a lot to the the GDP of India as they alone give out nearly 1 trillion dollars as their combined gdp. The population of the south is lesser than the north and is growing slowly, which is one of the reasons why the south has a high gdp per capita. The Southern states also are the IT centre of India, cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and many more are advanced and have an economy based on technology and manufacturing. The north is more culture centred and very colourful compared to the south.

Very interesting stuff mate! Few thoughts -
1. As I think most people have mentioned, the non vegetarians (apart from Muslims) eat meat only occasionally, hence in reality the vegetarian % is way higher.
2. Most people are not just bi-lingual but multi lingual. Hindi and English are widespread, doubt the figures presented are accurate. People in the south especially are very multi lingual and speak atleast 2 southern languages in addition to English/Hindi.
3. Lots of people also follow 2 religions/ mixture of 2 religions - For example Sikhs also have Hindu customs and vice verse in Punjab/Haryana. Buddhists in the NorthEast consider themselves Hindus as well as Buddhists (I also recently learned this)
No..most people in South speak 2 languages English and there mother tongue..that's it..no other language..and some can understand hindi but can't speak (very rare)
I think, that may be the case in north-western states but in other states, non-veg is not associated with religious dogma and considered as important as veggies if affordability is not a constraint. But yes, many people skip a day of non-veg every week.

The reason islam is so big on the western islands in the south, is because of it's ancient trade connections to the Red Sea and Perisan Gulf. Islam spread into various non-Islamic regions in the Indian Ocean and further east through trade rather than conquest first (as Islam during the middle middle ages and earlry modern period offered a lot of advantages for conversion to Islam at the time, such as wide reaching trade connections. (and in the case of west Africa a first internationally identifiable writting system) and Islam also offered an escape from the case system in India for many converts too as Islam was not a religion enforcing a strong cast like other local religions in India did.)
tbh the south didn't have strong caste systems till the fall of vijaynagar... and the majority of the population in lakshadweep have been muslim for a very long time.
Interesting to know that it was through trade though... I knew that was the reason Kerala has a high muslim and christian population....
@@Naveen-tq7cg lakshadweep muslims are shafi muslims same like mappila muslims of kerala
@@Naveen-tq7cg it was becuz middle Eastern religions were centralized while indian religions were not even religious they were just way of life , there is a reason why Hinduism has gods which Hindus don't even know , for eg chath puja is the biggest festival for biharis like me where we worship river goddess but tamils don't know about this , this is the one of reasons why India is so hard to govern and can't be governed like America or China ,
Middle eastern religious belived in conquest , suppression , war , etc . When Islam and Christianity came to India crusades were going on so logically they started propagating their religions as fast as they can , while indian religions don't even belived in concept of religions ,
@@VivekKumar-rb7zk makes sense! Even within hinduism, you have some regions have a stricter one focused on the vedas like in UP and haryana, so more people are Orthodox, while in my state, tamil Nadu, the vast majority of the population just follows the way of life, they are not religious, and don't visit temples often or anything
Bruh that caste system argument is invalid cus buddhism and jainism was available and they were strictly against any caste also indian muslims also practice caste system

Indian household size is bigger because we live with our parents and kids, here children wont leave parents once they start to earn. In US you can clearly see children and parents live separately. If they all live together, the average size will be same as India

For the Austro-Asiatic languages, there are two branches; 1) The Mundari represented by Munda, Sora, Huang, Kharia etc... Languages in Jharkhand, and
2) Monkhmer, where Khasi (including Jaintia and other dialects,) is the main Language and found only in Meghalaya, and whome the only nearest relative is Mon, in Myanmar.
@@herazion Nope! I am a Khasi.
Khasi is a seperate language from Khmer, as much as Persian is from Bengali, but nonethe less it belongs to the Monkhmer Branch as much as both Bengali and Persian belongs to the Indo -Iranian Branch of the Indo-European Family.
@@herazion Yes it seperated from the Munda, that makes it the oldest among the Mon-Khmer Branch, as it is Mon and Khmer languages (Mon and Khmer has more speakers and are more developed than Khasi), are hardly 5000 years old while Proto-Khasi (which no one know how to speak nowadays) is seperated about 56,000 years ago.
@@herazion Welcome.
Just for your info. Khasi has many dialects some of which are mutually intelegible, some are not. But the fact remains that because of the relative isolation of the Khasi tribe, it has remained quite unchanged for more than 55,000 years! Then about 2000 years ago, it came into contact with Assamese and Bengali speakers, and had a lot of words borrowed from it, later during the islamic period, Persian and Arabic made some inroutes into the language, however, it still remained an unwritten language (perhaps because Neither Sanskrit, nor Persian has any phonetical similarities with Khasi) untill 1851, when a Welshman using Welsh Gaelic phonetics, gave a written module to the Khasi Language. Prior to that, Bengali script was used, but it failed again because of phonetical problems which the Khasi don't share with any other Indian languages and of course the presence of Gender Markers in Khasi Nouns and Adjective, proved quite a burden for Bengali script to be suitable.
(Had it been feasible, Bengali would have perhaps been used as the written script of Khasi Language, about 700 years ago as, many Khasi petty states had territories in adjoining Sylhet, with the Jaintia Kingdom being the most important of them, yet, even then, because of the difficulties, Bengali remained a court language of the Jaintia Kingdom and the actual Jaintia dialect (of Khasi Language) remained unwritten till about the British period.
Palaung in China too 😅 and Vietnamese too ❤️ we have alot of connection
@@herazion You're talking to one now 🤣
For me, gdp per capita is a more important way to factor the economy along with the hdi. The gdp state map will look vastly different looking at per capita and hdi ways.
I agree! And even the GDP per capita can be misleading
Recently I read the book The White Tiger (it's fiction) by the Indian author Araving Adiga. It's harsh and humorous. I recommend it.

Hey great video, i was wondering what software do you use for creating such videos?
Lakshadweep islands were earlier a hindu majority area followed by Buddhist majority but later due to trade influence from arabian countries, it served as a port and influenced Islam in the islands
Influence or .....

Kind of interesting that my high school teachers wanted everyone to learn prezi a lot 10 years ago and yet, this is the only place that I know of in the current day that uses Prezi to the amount that our high school teachers thought we would need prezi for. It's one of the great things about General Knowlegde that gives it is own astheic seperate from other channels on the platform as most people pull from stock footage sites these days for their information sites.
I love this! Can you please do the UK?
Nice information ℹ️, thanks for making video on India 🇮🇳. Let's make INDIA great again. Golden bird.
