Things that are NOT UPDATED in Video: - Jammu & Kashmir is now split into 2 union territory (Ladakh, and J&K). So now there are 28 states and 8 union territories. - Dadar Nagar Haveli and Daman n Diu are Old Portugese colonies. - He Missed: Largest statue in the world. : statue of unity and MANY FAMOUS and Wonderful Forts. - Non-Vegetarians in India are ocassional meat eaters, especially in north. Hence even though they eat meat, they are not eating daily, as commonly as in other places. - World's Last Asiatic LIONS. Hence ONLY country, with, both tigers n lion. - Movies: always a happy ending is kindaf wrong its stereotype mostly. - As for the negetive stuff, it was true, but those things have gone down signficantly ! since that video is made, so its sort of over the top now. Also India is fastest growing top economy of the world, so development / changes are rapid. - India's SPACE programs are the most successful space missions in the world. First nation to reach mars in single attempt, Discovered water on moon, the sun mission. and all of that at the fraction of a normal cost. - He missed really major PRO/famous games: kabaddi, kho-kho etc. - In late 2011 the state's name was officially changed from Orissa to Odisha.

Fun Fact, India has four type of deserts and the fourth one is relatively unknown so not even geography peeps do not know about it. Thar desert, which is sandy deserts like sahara/arabian. The Ladhak desert or the cold desert, which is Akin to gobi desert/tibetean plateau. the Rann of Kutch, the salt desert, yes white salt. And these is a Red desert deep down south in Tamil Nadu which is relatively small but climate and geography has made the landscape red and barren.

[@arnavranka4510]

Thanks for the information!

[@spilltea4241]

Lemme try this lol 1. It was Orissa (romanized) but in 2011 they changed it to Odisha (native) 2. Delhi is the largest metropolitan region (32million) But Mumbai has the highest city population (12.5million) 3. Ganges is the anglicized name, the native name is Ganga (sanskrit) 4. Peacock is the National Bird of India. 5. Millet is an umbrella term for a variety of grass seed, its often called the "poor man's cereal" 6. India is also the 2nd largest Rice & wheat producer after China. 7. Indo-Aryan refers to Indo-Iranian, a sub-branch of Indo-European language family. Aryan word itself comes from sanskrit meaning "noble" and was also used for ancient Iranians. Iran literally means "land of aryans" in sanskrit. 8. correction here: India has 22 Scheduled languages, 2 official language used by the federal government (Hindi & English), and no National language. 9. When he says "North west" he is only referring to Kashmir. 10. The "500 princely states" was created AFTER british conquered India. When East India Company arrived in India, Mughal Empire controlled most parts of India, but by 1720s Mughal Empire weakened and Mughal provinces became more autonomous. After Mughals, The Maratha Empire controlled almost 2/3rd of India until 1780s, and they were allied with the French. But after France lost the 7years war, Britain kind of became a dominant force in the region. In 1857, Britain conquered Delhi defeating the last Mughal emperor. 10. Statue Unity is the tallest statue in the world, since 2018. 11. India has strategic partners (not allies), the closest being Russia, France, Japan & the US. India maintains good diplomatic relationships with prettymuch everyone except Pakistan and China. (Although we had a fall out with Maldives too recently)

22:59 I'm glad that you noticed this. Also shocked that nobody in the comments clarified this to you. So, there is this language spoken in the south-central and some part of the western areas of Balochistan in Pakistan called Brahui. It is a Dravidian language but not many people know how did it reach up there (including me). Its like an isolated Dravidian language in the north surrounded by people speaking Indo-Aryan languages.

[@TheNeo349]

Arunachal Pradesh is state of india there is no conflict in that

[@ReldrikGeo]

Isn't there major disputes with China about it? I fully support the territory belonging to India btw but I have read about ongoing conflicts and military outposts through a lot of that area

[@nlDt87]

There is no actual conflict in the recent decades over Arunachal. China denies McMohan line [read about it] and its interest is to boil Arunachal issue (calling the area south tibet) so that it can use it as a leverage and stake higher claim over Aksai Chin (North east of Kashmir) As you know China has boundry issue with all its neighbors and want to just occuppy their land by all means, it has similar thing with India. However, Indian army is brave enough to protect our boundary. One more interesting thing, china doesn't have just claim over Aksai and Arunachal pradesh but also stakes claim over other state territories like Uttrakhand and Himachal Pradesh. Try to look for videos of Major Gaurav Arya [the Chanayakya Dialogues] in english and you ll know our perspective towards the Chinese

[@arnavranka4510]

​@@ReldrikGeoConflict is at the borders in Arunachal Pradesh, when Chinese army frequently tries to encroach. It is different from Kashmir, where there is foreign funded terrorism not restricted at the borders.

You weren't mispronouncing orissa, Hindi/most Hindi esque language has a letter which phoenitically sounds like r/d together, so its Or/dissa. Another example is Chopra surname, (Priyanka chopra) its written as "-RA" but sounds "-dA". Similarly Tamil and Malayalam languages have sounds/letters which is unpronouncable for non native people, the "-il" in "Tamil" sounds more like RZH, so native speakers call it Tamizh or Tamirzh. Just linguistic things which is incomprehensible.

This video is outdated

[@ReldrikGeo]

Yeah it is but I had a lot of people ask me to react to it

[@mridulsaraswat9459]

React on Hinduism find the correct video just ask the people we will suggest you.. you will be shocked..and you will love everything about it... Loving your interest

[@nlDt87]

There is nothing like Aryan or Dravidian. It was done by the colonizers to divide Hindus and make South Indians feel different from north Indians and thus introduce Christaninty to those states. Read more from indic writers like J Sai Deepak and Vikram Sampat and you ll know the niti grities. And regional people of Orissa call their state as odisha, like we Indians call our country Bharat

[@lakshmikrishna5660]

Caste system was introduced by outsiders not by hinduism , in Hinduism we call verna divided according to occupation and any one can change verna

[@ReldrikGeo]

I'm interested in learning more about it's origins. The first I heard of the caste system was from India

[@user-rg3cc1jm5w]

@@ReldrikGeo the OP is right, caste system is akin to the feudal system practiced in Europe or serf system in balkans, (since you are from Royalty, check privilege, but i digress) In one way Caste or fuedal system is practiced even today all over the work, take a conglomerate for example, hierarchy exists, and pay varies based on position and job, it is very unlikely that a janitor there would rise up to be the CEO nor do they allow it. Caste system is basically the hierarchy in a company, would people frown upon them hierarchies in a company?

[@ReldrikGeo]

Ah if you put it that way I can better understand that. Yes medieval Europe was like that with nobility and serfs. I guess the one good thing about living in the US is feeling like I can attain a higher social/economical standing so I've never really had to deal with it in my everyday life.

[@user-rg3cc1jm5w]

@@ReldrikGeo neither does caste system, it doesnt affect any normal individual in their everyday life, the only place or instance i have seen it being used blatantly is when one is seeking arranged marriage, or seeking caste based reservation, which is akin to affirmative action in the US, why do you even have affirmative action? It might occur in the very rural areas of the country where illiteracy still prevails, say like the panhandle, no matter what happens you cant change them people. Well, you are blessed and privileged being a caucasian in US, the same cant be said about POC in US, heard the situation is worse for them POC have to face discrimination on a day to day basis, unlike the caste system/hierarchy, but then again, i digress.

​​@@ReldrikGeoIndia had a similar Varna system, but it was specifically profession based. Birth based caste system was codified in the British era, where they made it compulsory for a person to identify his family, his surname, with a permanent fixed caste. Prior to that, one could just change their surname, and take up a new profession, and hence a new caste. There are loads of cases of Priests becoming Warriors, and vice-versa, in pre-colonial history.
