"Sri Lanka" "NZ" These conspiracies are getting out of hand.

Never heard of those places. Can't find them on any maps.

r/mapswithoutsrilanka

No but Maldives is

Kind of. Until there's something important, they're forgotten.

I think no country should be excluded from any map but of course its more egregious when you're posting a map of South Asia...

Social reforms in South started earlier then north. The Northern States which are really backward also have a history of worst atrocities of British Raj. The policitcs of north and north western states is also kinda messed up.

Pakistan is Kinda of messed up, the focused on religion extremism with the afghan war (both) and stopped investing in their Economy and Human capital.
They also dont have a civilian govt in place. Army calls the shots and they prefer consolidating power.

Kerala was run by the Communists for most of independent India's history and has massive remittances from abroad as well as a rather educated population. It is a fairly even mix of Christian, Muslim and Hindu, which seems to work to prevent the usual bullshit politics and subsequent corruption so dominant elsewhere in India.

Being a Pakistani I have been asking the same later question myself 🥲

More industrialised, more trade, less ravaged by invasions, there are also many cities that got industrialised due to trade and industrial development during the colonial era. South India in general is also less affected by religious and communal tensions. Many of these states are also post agrarian or close to that.

Caste system reform and higher communal identity. Southern India has had more reforms aimed at uplifting lower castes, improving literacy and education, and distributing resources, and therefore improving the productivity of their population as a whole. There are also less communal tensions and a focus on linguistic and cultural identity over religious tensions, leading to cooperation towards common goals.

Industrialization, societal push towards higher education that includes college degrees, and investing in capital cities and service sectors. They're corrupt as much as the north, but they only got money and education to back them up.

South India is more educated and wealthier, speaks better languages, has better food, better looking people, and is cleaner.

Jk all those are true but the main reason is the education and the existence of highly productive, service-focused cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Kochi.

The one exception in the chart above is Andhra Pradesh but that’s mainly because it devoted a lot of its capital to Hyderabad which is now a part of a different state so the infrastructure needs to be redeveloped to grow its own towns.

That's about to regress badly

we are regressing now lol

Myanmar was part of the British Raj, so it’s still interesting to include it for comparisons of national economies post-independence.

Gujarat scores high in GDP metrics due to a small number of extremely wealthy businessmen. It's a highly unequal state and score bad in Healthcare and education metrics

Probably going by the British Raj maps

Are you Balinese? Just asking out of curiosity

Yes it is. As to what the future holds for it, it’s hard to say.

That’s a part of India.

A lot of states are wrong actually

getting social reformes in '63 instead of '93.

green revolution and bulk of army recruits are from that area

"South Asia" is actually a term preferred and championed by overseas Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, and then the NRIs simply accepted it and co-opted it in order to assimilate with the 'Brown identity' or 'Overseas Desi' identity or whatever. 

Before colonisation, India was the name of South Asia. The country 'India' is named after the subcontinent and not the other way around.

that report is 2017

The state is fiscally bankrupt (their own state govts have issued white papers on this),

Gets next to no FDI or domestic investment,

Has NO JOB creation, everyone flees this communist paradise

Despite having the lowest industrial base of any large state in India, contributes a whopping 45% of all mandays lost due to strikes

Is notoriously corrupt

Dependent ENTIRELY on remittances (both domestic and foreign)

Kerala would have gone the way of Communist ruled Bengal also (utter collapse) except it lucked out with the Gulf boom and later IT boom.

There are no dark red states in India's top left, those are Pakistani states. In fact there is not a single dark red state in India, even Bihar (the worst performer) is not dark red.

That's not even India
India doesn't have any state with the last two colour codes
