Last week , I was hanging out and talking with my friends between the college break . I noticed that some of my classmates were discussing about Indian states . <br />
<br />
I was pretty unlucky that I heard some big misconceptions about other States in their knowledge .<br />
<br />
I felt very bad due to this surprising non sense and I searched and learned in deep about each and every state of India and it's specialities .<br />
<br />
so here's a short article on India and her unique states .<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #262626; font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> India ! The land of diverse culture and beautiful nature . India has a rich heritage that makes every Indian proud of his country . </span></span><br />

It was no longer before it remembered me about 71 th Independence day of India . 15 th August 2017 - the day of 70 years of celebration and consistent progress !<br />
<br />
It made me feel great and proud about my country and remembered me about the story of Independence the story of struggle and thag story of lives of thousands of Indians .<br />
<br />
So I decided to write a new article for curious Indians to make people remember about that hard story of success .<br />

I welcome all of you on this august occasion as we gather here on 70th independence day to unfurl our national flag once again.<br />
<br />
At the strike of midnight of the August 15, 1947, India shook off the shackles of British Rule and became free. It was a night of celebration all over the country. The world learned the power of nonviolent protest as Gandhiji lead the diverse peoples of India in a struggle for home rule.<br />
<br />
We commemorate our <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Day_(India)" target="_blank">independence from British rule </a> and its birth as a sovereign nation in 1947…Indian flag, representing India's long struggle for freedom is a national treasure. It signifies the status of India as an independent republic. Our national flag is a unifying force for our nation.<br />
<br />

<br />
The love for our country is supreme. True love is so selfless…only we should have nations benefit in mind.<br />
<br />
This nation has given us love, care , nurturing and freedom..all of us love the fragrance of our nation…It is time we should all think of repaying something back to this nation, to the people of this beautiful country.<br />
<br />
Nation is always before self .Please have this approach in daily life if you love this country. This is the best gift you can give to our country.<br />
<br />
We have already learnt the hard way how we got our freedom. The price of which we had to pay by losing so much precious lives and so many patriotic Indians.<br />
<br />
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I will not tell you what is great about us. We all know it already. From the Himalayas to the southernmost point, from the seven sisters to the Elephanta caves, we are one hell of a scenic and resource filled nation.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I will tell what is wrong with us. We become patriotic on 15th August and 26th January. That is our default mode. Or when there is a India Pakistan match or a surgical strike happens in Kashmir. Rest of the days we just suck the life out of this country though our words and actions. That is the bitter truth.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
I am not asking you to go on the front and take a bullet. Just do what you are doing honestly and contribute a little to the society. Don't be patriotic on occasions only.</div>
<br />
<i> If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
~ <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_M%C3%BCller" target="_blank">Max Mueller, German scholar</a><br />
<br />
Let me share a story with you..<br />
<br />
A man was selling balloons at a fair in a tribal village. He had balloons of different colors. To attract the attention of people, he would release a gas filled balloon into the air. When children saw the balloon go up, they would jump with joy and rushed to buy one.<br />
<br />
The Balloon man was busy in attracting his little customers, when he felt someone pulling his kurta (traditional dress worn in India). He turned around and saw a little dark tribal boy asking him, "If you release a black balloon, would that also fly high?"<br />
<br />
For a moment the balloon man was taken aback – why is this little boy asking such a question? His eyes fell on the dark skin of the body, and in a flicker of moment, the balloon man realized the matter!<br />
<br />
With lot of affection, he moved his hand on the head of the little boy and replied gently, "Son, it is not the color of the balloon, it is what’s inside it that makes it go up!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Such is the character of our nation. We are multi cultural..ethnic, religious, yet we have something great within us that makes us a great nation. India is not a country or a mass of land , it is dharma’s abode. It is our land of great spiritual vibrations made up of saints, holymen of all faiths . This makes our nation so remarkable. We are proud of this.<br />
<br />
Today Indians take freedom and liberty for granted they forgot who obtained it for them. The Indian Freedom Struggle is well documented and there is no doubt that Gandhi infused a new life into it. He took it from the drawing rooms of the rich to the poor peasantry in the villages to whom freedom and equality were not even conceiveable.<br />
<br />
In 1947 all Indians were given liberty and equality much before many western democracies! If there was no <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/education/story/gandhi-freedom-movement/1/487951.html" target="_blank">influence of Gandhi </a>, then the Civil Rights movement in America may not have been non-violent.<br />
<br />
If Gandhi did not exist, it is quite possible that the Free world may be short of 1.2 billion people today and most Indians may not be living in a united India.<br />

One day he was investigating <a href="http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/remembering-the-first-satyagraha-100-years-of-champaran/story-myCg143UxOQJYuxlSrAqEJ.html" target="_blank">Champaran village</a> (in Northern India) riding on elephant when a British policeman saw him and drove him back to town and issued a legal notice of leaving the village immediately. He signed the order and wrote back, ‘I will disobey’.<br />
<br />
In those times, no one had courage to speak to common Englishmen but Gandhi had power to disobey British laws openly.<br />
<br />
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Lastly, a humble request from my side. The media is misleading. Do not believe everything in print and in words or in the tube. Think, analyse and see it for yourself before judging a major national identity.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It's your nation.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It's my nation.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It's our nation.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You may abuse and curse it all you want. You may run away to some other country for better opportunities.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
But deep inside you will always cheer an Indian victory. You will never stop being an Indian.</div>
<br />
Let`s make another tryst with destiny and pledge to end poverty and ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity.<br />
<br />
The land I belong to,<br />
The land I will die for,<br />
The land that defines my identity.<br />
This is my country &<br />
My India….<br />
Spread optimism<br />
instead of Negativity<br />
Live for nothing<br />
Die for something…<br />
<br />
FREEDOM IN THE MIND,<br />
FAITH IN THE WORDS,<br />
PRIDE IN OUR HEARTS &<br />
MEMORIES IN OUR SOULS…<br />
LETS SALUTE,<br />
THE NATION ON 70th nd INDEPENDENCE DAY!<br />
<br />
Lets sing this song for our nation as a tribute to being born in this great land with me…<br />

A few weeks ago , I was studying about the population and its distribution . In that time one wikipedia entry made me to think deeply , that was <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependencies_by_population" target="_blank">population distribution of world</a> .</div>
<br />
It was really interesting to know that India and China have nearly 40 % percent of world population . It means hat each country have 20 % . But if we see at other countries , there is no one more than 5 % . This was surprising .<br />

<br />
It made me curious about some population related questions and forced me to dig the topic to its roots .<br />
<br />
That basic questions were :<br />
<br />
1 . Why only India and China have that large percentage of world population ?<br />
<br />
2 . What are the things that make these two Asian countries special for human settlements ?<br />
<br />
3 . Why India is densely populated ?<br />
<br />
4 . Why is China's population so large ?<br />
<br />
5 . Reasons behind the overpopulation of these countries.<br />
<br />
From all these questions , you simply think that " How come India and China accounted for close to 40% of human population at various points of time in history ? " .<br />
<br />
<b>So let's start to get into the science of population and geography with some history . </b><br />

It's indeed strange that of all the land available in the world, more people should end up living on a smaller chunks of it.<br />
<br />
There are many theories explaining the distribution of population the most relevant being climate and geographic conditions theory.<br />
<br />
However, the climate and geography theory can not fully explain how a spatially small country like India ended up with 17% of the world population today.<br />
<br />
There are two ways to look at this problem:<br />
<br />
<i><b>1.</b></i> Why does India have such a huge population?<br />
<br />
<b><i>2.</i></b> Why does the rest of the world have such a low population?<br />
<br />
What is important here is what binds 17% of this population and restricts it to a single small land mass. This is where the second theory of Historic Developments comes to explain the clustering of populations into specific land masses and how its population came to viewed as a problem.<br />
<br />
The complicated answer is very long, so I've divided it into following sections which explain population concentration on the land mass we currently identify as India:<br />

<br />
<b>Part 2</b> : Factors that affect population in region and reasons behind high population of India and China<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Part 3</b> : The Historic Development Theory - period up to 1700s<br />
<br />
<b>Part 4</b> : The Historic Development Theory - period between 1700s to 1950s<br />
<br />
<b>Part 5</b> : The Historic Development Theory - period post 1950s<br />
<br />
Let's first talk about the Climate and geography theory .<br />
<br />
<h3>
Part 1 : Climate and Geography Theory</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before moving to the theory and reasons , let us revise the basic question of the post " How come India and China accounted for close to 60% of human population at various points of time in history? " </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Although India & China occupy "only" a tenth of Earth's land surface, their share of earth's hospitable land is close to a quarter. Vast chunks of earth are not really hospitable - Siberia, Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, Sahara desert, most of Canada, Arabian desert and rain forests of Amazon and central Africa. The inland water resources of Mongolia, northern Mexico, central Australia, Central Asian Republics are too few. This rules out a sizable chunk of earth's land for dense human settlement.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The region around the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is the best suited for human settlement (see below). A big chunk of this region is lost in the Sahara, leaving India, Mexico, Southern US & China as the major non-arid regions on this zone. In the southern hemisphere most of this critical zone is taken over by oceans or deserts (Kalahari, Great Victoria, Atacama).<br />

When we study this theory , we have to study the complementary factors that effects on population . These factors are not part of Climate and Geography Theory are very close to it . So let's look at that reasons behind India and China having so high population. <br />

Let us now zoom to this critical zone around 30N (just north of Tropic of Cancer) where all major civilizations arose and almost all of modern religions came from. The people around this latitude shaped the world's history of ancient era.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
While Iran (between purple and brown area below) had civilizations going from the ancient era, it never had any major river to support a massive population growth. Israel (between the green & purple) was too small & had a constant outside intervention. Egypt outside the narrow Nile valley, most of Iraq (especially regions far from Tigris & Euphrates) and most parts of Arab peninsula were too dry & hot to support massive population settlement.</div>
<div class="qtext_image_wrapper" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 1em; position: relative;">

<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Northern India and Eastern China sit on massive alluvial plains created by rivers such as Ganga+Indus and Huang He+Yangtze rivers. The first recorded human civilizations grew on these river valley plains along with the plains created by Nile (Egypt) and Euphrates (modern Iraq). These river valleys provided the right conditions for the civilization, with water & silt for agriculture, tolerable climatic conditions and rivers for commerce.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
There are only a handful of these big river valleys in the world, especially in this latitude. Overall there are about 26 major river basins (see map below) and only 16 of them are in the hospitable regions. India and China have 4 of the 16. Of the remaining 12, five of them are surrounded by massive rain forests. Three of them: Orange, Murray-Darling & Mississippi were a bit isolated to support a major civilization (although they all supported unique native cultures and are home to major cities now). That leaves the Nile, Danube, the Euphrates, Zambezi as the major cradles of civilizations outside India & China.</div>

Besides the major ones, China has 50,000 rivers with 100sq km or more in the catchment area. India has a lesser number of these rivers, but is well spread throughout the country. The rivers are neither too monstrous like the Amazon nor too small to feed the population. The following river map is unusual among any country in this zone and enabled multiple regions of population concentration.</div>

In short India and China had multiple river systems that were both massive as well as hospitable that lead to huge food production. Instead of depending on a single river system (like Egypt), India and China each had more than 3 major river systems giving a sort of backup. Thus, when Indus valley civilization faltered, the civilization quickly picked up the slack near Ganges.<br />

In 2005, India and China together held 20% of world's arable land (land suitable for a major crop), producing 50% of world's rice and 30% of world's wheat. <span class="qlink_container"><a class="external_link" data-qt-tooltip="wikipedia.org" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_use_statistics_by_country" rel="noopener " style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: url("//qsf.ec.quoracdn.net/-3-images.new_grid.external_link.svg-26-aef78ead48f1f1e2.svg"); background-origin: initial; background-position: right 0.3em; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 10.5px; color: #2b6dad; padding-right: 15px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Land use statistics by country</a></span>. This ratio would have been much higher two centuries ago when vast tracts of Brazil, Sibera, Australia and USA were not explored. While 50% of India is arable, less than 7% of Australia, Canada or Russia is arable even with the introduction of modern technology.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Remember that food and water were the most critical for previous civilizations. Only in the modern era, these became slightly less important. But, by then the drop in fertility rates (from literacy) and migration restrictions made population growth slow in the US & Europe.</div>

Europe's population exploded when potato was brought back from the New world 500 years ago. Ireland and other countries rapidly grew as they had little food option before. That's how important a staple crop is.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
China domesticated Rice in about 10000 BC and rice quickly moved to South & Southeast Asia. At about the same time, Wheat was domesticated and moved from West Asia towards India. Thus, both India and China had access to massive cereal crops.</div>
<div class="qtext_para" style="color: #333333; font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<h3>
In contrast, both Europe and Africa had relatively less access to major cereals. Major cereals reached Europe relatively late and until recently Africa had no major cereal group that lent itself to massive farming. Even today, Africa's cereal yield outside of Nile valley and South Africa is very poor.</h3>

The Mississippi river valley never had the benefit of other major civilizations close to it. Asian civilizations exhibited a lot of connectivity. The pottery technology of Indus, wheel of Sumer, writing system of Egypt and later the religion of Ganges (Buddhism) quickly spread to other civilizations enabling people to build ideas on top of best practices elsewhere.</div>

While China had some major disasters (such as the Mongol invasion and plague) its population was sizable enough to recover from them & was fairly sparred since 1300s.

They are spread around the Tropic of Cancer (a great zone for human settlement), were unified multiple times in the past (leading to a large land area under one flag), got to the major cereals earlier (rice & wheat), got the benefit of other civilizations nearby (borrowing ideas of wheel & writing systems) and were spared from many of the major human calamities & migrations of history. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many historians believe this population increase resulted from a combination of factors like a dramatic decline in the death rate, a drop in famines, warfare and illnesses, and an increase in food sources.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">S0, the general population increase was aided by a greater supply of food made available by the Agricultural Revolution, and by the growth of medical science and public health measures which decreased the death rate and added to the population base.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">An increasing population meant that Britain now needed more economic growth in terms of jobs, output, money, material goods etc. Most contemporary politicians and economists of the time believed that unilateral free trade would enhance the growth of income and output. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Britain was by far the biggest importer in the world in the 1840s (accounting for 30 per cent of world imports) but the move to free trade only enhanced her import demand. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1858, British declared India a colony and modernized ports, roads, railroads, telegraph while also dismantling India's textile industry that was in direct competition to the developing British textile industry by first forcing India to accept free trade, then British factory-owners who had learnt the techniques of machine spinning and weaving, imported cheap raw cotton from the American plantations and made finished cloth from British mills which was much cheaper than the Indian handloom products. Cotton mills in Lancashire, England, exported more and more cloth to India, and by the mid-1800's much of India's basic needs in cotton clothing was being met by British factories. Indian spinners and weavers lost their jobs, and had to turn to agriculture to make a living. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Between 1850 and 1880 the Indian subcontinent suffered a series of harvest failures and famines. The Famine Commission recommended in 1883 that canals should be constructed to provide irrigation water to farmers when the monsoon rains failed. Following the advice of the Famine Commission, the government spent large sums of money in northern India and in the Punjab. They built canals which were filled from the plentiful rivers fed by the glaciers of the Himalaya. Areas which had been desert became fertile grain-producing regions. Food supply increased dramatically as a result of the irrigation canal program, thereby giving a boost to population growth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In true Malthusian fashion, famines ensued, resulting in a "positive check" on population growth. Famine relief was thus held to the bare minimum, and to receive aid, all but the most enfeebled were required to labor for wages below market rates. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The goal, from a Malthusian perspective, was simple: to discourage famine victims from seeking any relief, with the long term consequence of reducing their rates of reproduction and holding off the threat of overpopulation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Beginning in the late nineteenth century, several Indian nationalist intellectuals began to develop a critique of colonial rule that rejected the premises of British thought about the Indian political economy, including its assumptions of overpopulation. </span><b style="font-family: q_serif, Georgia, Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><i>They argued that the problem in India was not "overpopulation" but "underproduction."</i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first two decades of the twentieth century witnessed a relatively slow rate of population growth. As a result, the census of 1931 came as a shock to demographers and the public at large; it revealed a much more rapid growth rate, of one percent annually, between 1921 and 1931.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the midst of this population increase, colonial India gained its independence from the British Empire in 1947, and was partitioned into the separate states of India and Pakistan. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "q_serif" , "georgia" , "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The trend changed slowly. By the early 1970s, India appeared to be well on its way to solving the problem of rising population through increased food production. If, following Nehru and earlier nationalists, the true Indian problem was "underproduction" rather than "overpopulation," then at least in agriculture, production was potentially meeting the needs of the people.</span></div>

A quick clearing of a myth. Some people assume that India has had a runaway population disaster in the past century. The truth is that India's current share of world population is far less than historic levels and that India's population has been growing at less than the global average in the past two centuries. You can see the population of different countries over the human history. </div>
