That's because, Hindus were not allowing them to assimilate into their temples, Muslims nearby weren't either BECAUSE of their dietary choices of beef and pork consumption for more than one can know the time frame of, as a result, they were left without medical, educational, social any kind of integration. Baptists came in and got them all of that, and even now, North-Eastern States where Christians are a majority like Mizoram, Meghalaya., there's a very high female-to-male sex ratio above the national average (barely any cases of female foeticide, which our country is well known for), hygiene and nature is preserved very well. P.S.: I am not a Christian (atheist here)

[@bnbcraft6666]

​@abc_cba that's interesting, I knew Goa had a lot of Catholics because Portugal used to own it and in the south because of apostle Thomas and many early Christians spreading Christianity in that region but I always wondered why that part of India was Majority Christian

[@xijinpig8982]

Note 1. Hindi is not actually the spoken language of the vast majority of the land shown in that language map and specifically the Hindi region. A lot of distinct and sometimes completely unrelated smaller languages are classified as Hindi for political purposes. Some of the actual languages spoken in that region but misgrouped as Hindi: Marwari - Rajasthan Mewari - Rajasthan Malwi - Rajasthan and Madhya P. Bagri - Rajasthan and Punjab Bhojpuri - Bihar and Uttar P. Magadhi - Bihar and Jharkhand Garwhali - Uttarakhand Kumaoni - Uttarakhand About 3 dozen different dialects of Pahari and Pahadi more closely related to Nepali than Hindi - Himachal Pradesh and parts of the Jammu region The real Hindi related dialects are the ones in the heartland from Delhi to Central Uttar Pradesh, such as Haryanvi, Awadhi, Kannauji, Khari Boli, Kauravi, Bundeli, Bagheli and Chhattisgarrhi. These are the only languages that could be classified under Hindi. 2. While Tripura has a Bengali speaking majority, the indigenous tribes speak Tripuri/Kokborok. 3. Manipur is divided between the inner Imphal Valley and the outer hills. Imphal Valley is inhabited by Meitei speaking Hindus while the outer hills are inhabited by Kuki and Naga Christians. 4. Arunachal Pradesh has dozens of languages but Hindi has been put as the main state language as a lingua franca, despite the Arunachali languages being mostly Tibeto-Burmese in origin. 5. Jammu and Kashmir comprises of many different cultures, languages and people groups. The actual 'Kashmir' is the Kashmir Valley, surrounded by the Pir Panchal range to the south and west and the Himalayas in the east. More accurately, the actual Kashmir is the Jhelum River Valley that begins at Verinag in the south, Gantamulla in the west, Sharda in the north and Sonamarg in the east. The rest of Jammu and Kashmir is not Kashmiri in any sense at all. 6. The rest of Jammu and Kashmir comprises of the Dogra region, the Ladakh region, the Pahari region, the Baltistan region and the Dardistan region. The westernmost areas outside the Pir Panchal range like Poonch and Rajouri are Pahadi speaking. The southern region like Jammu, Udhampur, Katra are inhabited by Hindu majority Dogra speakers. Doda and Kishtwar districts however are Kashmiri majority but have significant populations of Kashmiri Hindus, unlike the Kashmir Valley. Ladakh and Baltistan are Tibetan cultural extensions where the Indus River flows through from Western Tibet (Zhangzhung region) before draining into Dardistan. Dardistan is the mountainous land to the extreme northwest of Jammu and Kashmir, part of the Greater Dardic region, home to speakers of Dardic languages such as Shina, Kalasha, Kohistani, Khowar, etc. Only Kashmiri is distinct from Dardistan, despite Kashmiri itself being a Dardic Indo Aryan language.

Kerala historically has been a cultural hub, and center of trade throughout Ancient history, of various different migration groups, especially from the Middle East settling there, and during European Colonization, it was a Dutch colony, Portuguese Colony, before it became a British colony. For my Christians out there Kerala/Tamil Nadu is also where St. Thomas the Apostle evangelized and was martyred in AD 52. Also where ancient communities of Cochin Jews that came in colonies during the time of King Solomon exists. It was too this community that St. Thomas came, converting also other native Brahmins/Buddhists at the time. Till this day, the liturgical language of Kerala Christians, aka Malankara Nasranis, is Syriac, the Edessean Dialect of Aramaic. Much of the Cochin Jews migrated to Israel during Zionism, though a small population still exists. Also its where 2 Catholic Sui Luris churches, which is the East Syriac Rite Syro Malabar Church, and the West Syriac Rite Syro Malankara Church come from. Also where Protestant churches like the St. Thomas Evangelical Church, and the Mar Thoma Syrian Church(in the Anglican Communion) are located. And where the Oriental Orthodox Churches of the Malankara Syriac Orthodox Church(Jacobites), Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church and Malabar Independent Syrian Churches exist aswell. And also the Nestorian Church, aka the Chaldean Syrian Church has a diocese there too. So much rich history of Christianity in Kerala.

Giving consideration to the fact that Indian state borders are already quite considerate of cultural, geographic, linguistic and ethnic lines, id change less things. However, id like to break up much of North India into smaller states, with consideration to ethno-linguistic lines and population size. It is also important to remember that many ethnic groups are torn between borders. Awadhi, Kumaoni, Maithili are spoken on both sides of the India - Nepal borders, and its quite weird to me to create a new state of Awadh, Mithila or Kumaon when part of their ethnic homeland is in another country. Unlike most countries, India has put in much consideration to protect the minor languages across India. They survived for millenia due to the decentralised nature of Hinduism and Buddhism, and shouldnt die out in a political entity that unites most of the Indic people in the modern day.

[@SRJ7798]

Well, my language maithili is soon going to be dead. The committee which divided the states after independence, fcked us over. Put mithila/tirhut together with Bihar. And, the government of Bihar spread Hindi across the state at the expense of other languages. There is no representation of either maithili people or language in Bihar. I think Nepali government is doing much better in preserving my language than India/Bihar seems to be doing.

[@YourFuhrer1933]

It's actually good, what will you do with languages like maithili, marwari, and other bom bhosada, let's just speak Hindi

[@SRJ7798]

@@YourFuhrer1933 I have a better option. Ask everyone to learn Sanskrit, instead. Why should anyone ditch their language, to learn Hindustani a fairly new language, which borrows so much from persian and many other languages. Sanskrit is okay, since it's the ancestor of most of the languages here.

[@SRJ7798]

@@YourFuhrer1933 But, it's only concentrated in a region with huge population. If we talk about the language most spread across the country, it's English. Look, I can speak Hindi, but letting it replace all the other languages is not a very good idea. Hindi is spoken by around 40-55% of people, that leaves almost half of the population to learn a new language. If you want others to learn a new language, maybe we should also choose a language, like Sanskrit to learn. At least, it would seem fair, if everyone has to learn one.

It is very interesting how other continent-states (large enough in land mass to be a continent on their own, at least in a political sense), such as Brazil, US, Russia, China etc. seem to have a much more clear singular national culture, then India is not scared of its diversity (or at least was not before Modi). I would like to understand the political grass roots that drive Indian politics (especially after the Congress Party lost its monopoly), as governing India seems more like governing the European Union, than somewhere like China, US, or Russia. How do you even keep track of all the languages and cultures, while taking in regional sensitivities. While not all of this is going to be happy unicorns, then I would not be surprised if there is a lot us in the West could learn from India in terms of managing to guide a diverse block of 1 billion+ people in unity (essentially I am here comparing India to the whole of the Anglo-Euro "West", possibly adding Latin America as well, and how the fragmentation of the broader West provides a weakness, which lets in Russian and Chinese influence to the detriment of both local long-term and shared interests in the Broader West). I would not be surprised, if India already knows most of the answer, but partly post-colonial arrogance is keeping us from listening to qualified external input.

Even though I'm an Indian, I'll never understand how big India is, the cultures and languages and what not! Geography: In India, there are Rocky high snowy mountains 🏔. You travel a few hundred kilometres, you'll come to a hot arid desert 🏜. You travel a few more hundred kilometres, you'll reach grassy plain lands full of different variety of crops 🌱. You travel few more hundred kilometres, you'll see the sandy beaches along the vast Indian Ocean ⛱️. You travel few more hundred kilometres, you'll reach Islands 🏝. Places and areas: At many areas you will see very high futuristic buildings with beautiful architecture and infrastructure. Roads are super clean and people are rich. You travel few more kilometres, you will come to areas where poverty is quite a problem (though it has decreased dramatically in past 10 years). You leave the big crowded city and now you see villages with peace all around, children playing at grounds. One thing that's common is that businesses, trade and markets are everywhere, whether it's small scale or a giant firm. Culture: Each State of India has its own identity. Imagine entire Continent of Europe uniting into a country, and the cultures will be still lesser than that in India. Suppose that in Tamil Nadu, there are huge Temples with colourful carvings, most people eat food having rice, Tamil is spoken everywhere and Automobile industry is dominant in the state. People celebrate Pongal festival and the dance form is Bharatnatyam. Now you move to another state, such as Gujarat, where Temples have shades of one colour and architecture is different, food have more spices, Gujarati is spoken everywhere and pharmaceutical & diamond processing is the dominant industry. People celebrate Navaratri festival and the dance form is Garba. Now you again move to another state, such as Punjab. People have food made mostly from wheat, religion of Sikhism is widely practised, Punjabi is spoken everywhere and agriculture & food processing is the major industry. People celebrate Lohri festival and the dance form in Bhangra. One thing I want to say is that in India, if you just move from one state to another, it will feel like you are in a different world. I gave only 3 examples, but each of the 28 states and 8 Union Territories of India have something unique and different. One thing which is common is the love for unity under the name "Bharat" or "India". I hope this comment helps you understand how huge India is. One will never be able to sink in all the different customs, traditions and cultures of India.

In tamil, india is referred as Paratam not Bharat unlike Hindi which refers as bharat. Beside India's vedic name is aryavarta

Great explanation but you should have done not only India but its surrounding counties also cause the ethinisities of whole of south asia is interlinked. Countries like Bangladesh is similar to west bengal. Pakistani states like sindh,punjab were very important for the culture of India in history. And Sri Lanka s north is Tamil ethnicity. As a Indian I can you explained this Diverse country very well.

[@Judah_889]

So is Chittagong hill tract of Bangladesh. As a indian I feel so sad for chakma population. Bangladeshi origin people irrespective of any religion should be deported back to Bangladesh from tripura.

[@SRJ7798]

​@@Judah_889well, that's why CAA is important. The minorities would get shelter while the majorities should be deported.

Well made Video. Regards from Mithila [Gangetic plains].

Bro he put Jharkhand un maithili region

[@homonid]

@@ok001 Yeah that was a mistake. Though North-eastern region of Jharkhand speaks Angika dialect which has been classified as a sub-category in Maithili by various linguists.

[@ok001]

True , isn't it kinda sad that most of the bihar-jharkhand laguages are going extinct@@homonid

[@homonid]

@@ok001 Don't know about other languages, but Maithili and Bhojpuri are doing great. Santali is also protected by Jharkhand government.

[@Splendidchivalry]

​@@homonidBut NO one demanding for mithila state in jharkhand ...... Maithili and angika whatever its not even spoken by 10% of the whole santhal pragna division people......Santhali,Bengali ,kortha most spoken language on those area......Like what are base demand of mithila in jharkhand region..??People are not even maithilis ....They are culturely different too.......

I would put Jammu Dogar area, Himachal, Punjab, Haryana, North Rajasthan into one area. Maybe West UP and Delhi can also be put to them.

[@balashibuyeeter2704]

You should also cover pakistan, bangladesh, nepal and sri lanka next. Tbf you should have joined and covered them within this video itself.

[@khanshiranyor3974]

Missed Opportunity. But then I wonder, had he done so, this comment would have probably turned into a battlefield of Pakistani trolls and Indian trolls.

[@The_Indian_Politician]

Did you know India has been mentioned in the religious scriptures of the Hindus and the Buddhists It's so fascinating that our civilizational homeland still existing. We are proud to follow the dharma and are love for the nation and dharma are one

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Suggestion! Do china next

[@zenvd04]

This video doesn't do it justice. I can only really speak to a couple of examples: - It makes no sense to group Goa with Maharashtra, the primary language is Konkani which has some similarities to Marathi but is heavily influenced by Portuguese especially in the south of Goa. The religion and culture were predominantly Christian though many Christian families have left the state for other countries like Portugal, the UK, Canada, Australia, the US as well as large cities in India. While it seems like many people are coming to the state for the economic opportunity from tourism, the Christian roots and remaining minority still have a strong influence over the culture. - Kerala is so culturally and linguistically distinct from Tamil Nadu it seems wrong to group them. I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg.

[@raghuls1515]

For more than 2000 years kerala & tamilnadu was united - ancient tamilakam refers to south Andhra south karnataka kerala tamilnadu & parts of srilanka
