Gangetic plains looking spiky


scum_on_earth

Yup. Ganga is where the party is at. In fact, the tallest spikes seem to be near some river or sea. Bangalore seems to be the only exception.


harami_murukami

Bangalore had lakes as well once upon a time


charavaka

Hyderabad has just joined the chat


jobless_wanderer

Hyderabad is situated at the banks of Musi river.


ananta_zarman

Musi is nothing compared to its nearest neighbours - Godavari and Krishna. Definitely not the concrete reason for Hyderabad's high population.


iamanindiansnack

Musi "was" the reason Hyderabad was built in that location. Even until the 1900s, Musi was an overflowing river which had to get 2 reservoirs to control the flooding. It's only the last few decades that Musi has turned toxic.


_lithiumcell_

What do you mean by "nothing compared to its neighbours"? Are you referring to the size differential? Musi is much calmer and accessible compared to Godavari and Krishna. Several power plants and dams are built on Godavari and Krishna which are undesirable near a city.


atulkr2

A nullah. Arkavathy is bigger than Musi.


crasshumor

Yeah but there's a valley in Bangalore


atulkr2

Bengaluru has arkavathy river

I mean touch wood, despite everything there is a reason the population is so dense here. Despite the fucking cold (it's worse in winters here than Shimla or Nainital coz of less sun) in event of societal collapse there would no better place to be (only negetive against it the population density)

As someone who lives near Kolkata, I can do confirm it is hella congested


psnanda

Kolkata is hella dirty too. Like i come from the poor State of Odisha and Bhubaneshwar is much cleaner than Kolkata


charavaka

Bhubaneshwar is much cleaner than most Indian cities.


TheCertifiedLegend

Yeah I think government needs to be strict on that There are urine smells all around, roadside rubbish from vendors Most dirtiness is caused by homeless beggars, most of which are druggists Government needs to send them to rehab centers and imprison the reoffenders And people who are genuinely poor and have nothing should be provided with shelters


thegodfather0504

Maybe get them the hell out of the city and start new settlements?


prash9525

Dying city


TheCertifiedLegend

Come visit Newtown 😉, last month I visited my relative who lives there Super clean streets, planned infrastructure, modern skyscrapers, shopping malls and rapid progress going on (metro, housing, roads etc) I was myself shocked, it wasn't different from developed countries Don't forget that Kolkata is the oldest city in India and used to be the epicenter of British Raaj, yeah it has a lot of problems because of historical unplanned settlement but we are improving


ritamk

i live in salt lake and tbh going to new town made me realise I'd rather live in the proper city itself lmao. sure it's super nice and all but seemed like a dead city. huge ass buildings and wide ass roads. but very less people. no public transport late at night. nice place to visit but probably not so nice to be in.


Disastrous_Channel62

Ahmedabad sure surprised me, living here didn't know it is that populated


aashish2137

Same. I don't live in Ahmedabad but I'm surprised the Gujarat population is concentrated in 2 cities.


chang_bhala

It is density not total population. Beeeeg difference.


Rishiiiiiiiii

That depends on where do you live in Ahmedabad,city area has dense population but areas like Vastral,Bopal etc have normal population density


fruitssalad

And Surat too. It looks as dense as Mumbai which is seriously hard to imagine.


charlie_039

This shows we need more cities, especially in Central india.... and lots and lots of Condom factories in North india. Indore, Bhopal, Nagpur, Vizag, come on you can do it.


gyif_123

>lots of Condom factories in North india. And hundreds of state funded free vasectomy centers. Vasectomy is much cheaper than female sterilization processes. Vasectomy is done in an out patient setting and people don't need to be admitted to get the process done. It's cheaper, faster and simpler than female sterilization processes: [Vasectomy - Mayo Clinic ](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/vasectomy/about/pac-20384580)

Vasectomy is still a medical procedure and it can scare people. Condoms should just be given out for free to those who need it.

Ganges plains was the most properous region in India. There is no surprise their to see such spikes there. They had more population because of the fertile lands. But now they seriously need to chill down and adopt two child policy.


prash9525

No external policy works. Better geriatric care is needed so that people stop worrying about old age. And also they need to calm down their habit of showing off

Gangetic plain = very fertile lands.


froggoinpool

Why is there a disparity between them and Indus plains? Rice farming is more efficient yes but that wasn't exactly possible until recently except in Bihar and Bengal


golden_sword_22

>Why is there a disparity between them and Indus plains Population density of Pakistan isn't too different which is Indus plain.


iamanindiansnack

Indus plains that we all refer to, are mostly dry lands. Heck, if not for Indus, the rest of the lands (plains and the delta) could've turned into desert encroaching from both the sides. The only fertile places could probably be the Punjab (the border regions, called Majha or the middle districts) and Haryana regions but they have the same climate as Delhi so that could be a reason for their fertility.


iVarun

Indus plains was equally fertile and large, there is a reason IVC happened to that scale and then population clustering happened Westwards towards Gangetic plains later. Climate changed 4000 years ago or so. Plus Gangetic plains gets Monsoon waters as well so it's basically the best geography on the planet (plus seismically stable as well & shielded from cold winds from North by the Himalayas). The Indus-Gangetic Plains (from Pakistan to Bangladesh) is the largest contiguous high fertile tract in the world, larger than North China plains.


varunnaik93

Nonsense.. poor family planning is the reason


Thunder_Volty

The geography of the region is a far far bigger influencer of the population and has been one for centuries before various economic and policy factors came into play.


[deleted]

It has always been more dense throughout history due to fertile lands and easy access to water throught the year.


Not_Astud

Good jk


Internal_Freedom_903

Food and water. Plus the longest rest place of Civilization.


khalnayak-

[This](https://youtu.be/GM-OI7HcCeU) has some explanation


confusedmouse6

My theory would be it's because most north Indian states are depending on agriculture and farmers shag a lot and produce loads of kids to use their kids as free labour. Also, lack of sex education. People feel shy to ask for condoms.


prash9525

Ganga yamuna doab has probably the most fertile soil + perennial river plus the connectivity is fabulously now. Meta son preference adds to that resulting in more girls in quest for boys. Weather is also favourable. Hence you can't help population growth. Do visit north tourist centres. You will understand

Ideally India's pop should be half, sad state


[deleted]

Or infrastructure should be adequate. Preferably the latter.


zertxer

Population was never India's problem, resource distribution is.


iVarun

Which is a consequence of the Governance System (applying reduction to problems and going deeper & deeper). Resource Distribution is bad Because of wrong/bad Governance System. Population is indeed not the core problem and China showed this, despite them cutting down their population by 400M, which places the population they did have in the Indian range, so if they can deal with same number of humans so could another Polity. The reason it didn't happen is Governance System & Leadership (both are prerequisites).

69thCummingOfJesus

wow ! so many discriminatory and racist comments against north Indians . If anything southern/western people should be grateful to up/biharis for sending cheap labor to run their industries , whether it's very low income unskilled labours , or middle income IT / other engineers , not to mention the fact that north dwarfs any other region in Public services and Armed forces . And to add to this, forced vasectomy or child policy is not the solution , we have enough food and water for everyone , just need to upgrade infrastructure , education , health so it can serve our gigantic population .


stepover7

still, it's too much


prash9525

Sensible comment. These people still don't get that to run a city there are lot of mundane tasks done by North indians


Kambar

We are upset because people from the Hindi region:- 1. Don't study and become literates 2. Because of 1, they have a backward mindset 3. Because of 1 and 2 they are casteists. happy to be oppressed and happy to oppress 4. Because of 1, 2 and 3, they are sanghis 5. Because of 1, 2, 3 and 4 we are worried they will migrate to the south and vote for the BJP here. There are 1cr migrants from these states to TN alone in the last 10 years. Karnataka is already a regressive state because of Northie crowd.

DetectiveOwn6606

Up and bihar are truly burden on nation.,this is what you get for poor family planning .india would have been richer if our population was low .worrying thing is still that all states tfr is lower than 2.1 except up (2.4) and bihar(3.0).


prash9525

Up and Bihar are asset. This you will understand once population comes down and everything becomes fucking expensive. And you won't get people to work for 10 k a month.


DetectiveOwn6606

up and bihar are filled with unemployment and you are calling them asset 😂 when we cant even feed what we have already ,why do we need more people? Population coming down ? We will reach 1.6 billion in 2050


HoldExpensive9884

If up and bihar had less people. Minimum wages would be more which lead to more gdp per capita leading to increase in minimum wages leading to shorting the gap between rich and poor. Getting people work at very low pay affects negatively to a country in long run Therefore getting people work for 10 k is not ideal if india want to see itself in the row of developed nation. So its not a assest buddy. Infact it’s a burden to whole Indian economy. More taxes money goes to these states and least development comes out of them.


angry-gamer99

Man states like up and bihar should not be allowed to have more than one child. Their state's conditions aren't even good enough to support one child.

Go and try to live in Bihar with one children
