  1.  @rabeat4213  What are your favourite Himalayan states in India? I really like Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

  2. My Indian friend who is from south India told me she believes that India would make more sense if it was broken up. I suppose so, she being from Kerala must feel extremely detached from places like Uttar Pradesh.

  3.  @S-K555  It's the international map of India. We're neutral on Indian issues.

  4.  @S-K555  Someone from China or Pakistan could easily claim that map of India is depicting territory that belongs to them. So the world is neutral.

  7.  @bginoc  Did you watch the video? Most of their states are below replacement level, only 4 aren't and those 4 are the reason why India's population is still growing.

  8. Well we know it was divided along religious lines (Muslim and non-Muslim). It just happens to be that non-Muslims make up the majority of the population of the chicken's neck. So they're stuck with it.

  10.  @Anup_sk23  It's not though. My friend is a proud Indian but she recognises the fact that she's quite different to other Indian ethnic groups from areas outside of south India and believes a lot of problems could be solved if there was division. I know this is hard for many Indian nationalists to hear but there are Indians living in other countries who are reasonable in their thinking and are not scared to be critical of India.

  11.  @Deepak_Dhakad  Yeah but that's what she was saying. India is more like a continent made up of different countries. Each state is like a country with a different ethnic group, language and culture. She still identifies as Indian but she just recognises the fact that there are many differences and it's true. Her people wear saris but their hair is uncovered but I see many North Indian Hindu women use the end of their saris to cover their hair like a Muslim woman. I remember as a kid seeing things about India on TV and sometimes they'd show women in Rajasthan and when the camera pointed at them, they'd use their sari to cover their face immediately. I eventually learned from a book I borrowed from the library that it's called purdah and many Hindu women in north India practice it since the Mughal era. Idk if that's still the case but this book was kind of old, dating back to the late 1990s.

  12.  @Deepak_Dhakad  Idk maybe those in the deep south feel really detached and maybe don't feel represented. Just a guess. I've watched Bollywood thriller films before and I've never actually seen anybody who looks like my friend in any of those films (which is a shame because Bollywood would be 100 times better if they had more diverse Indian representation). All the stars have pale skin and sharp features. My Tamil friend, on the other hand, has a round face, small nose - quite neotenous features and my Malayali friend has similar features and dark brown skin. My Malayali friend still identifies as Indian, you don't have to be upset but she just recognises the differences in her country of birth.
