Sri Lanka was lucky that it was never under Turkic rule during the medieval period. Its thanks to the medieval south Indian warriors, who defeated the Turkic invaders in southern India, that Sri Lanka was never under Turkic or Mughal rule. Otherwise Sri Lanka would probably be as poor as...

Well, southern India was lucky that it was only for a short period of time under Turkic rule and some parts of southern India and Sri Lanka were never under Turkic rule. Afghanistan and Pakistan were for a long time under Turkic rule and the Turkic rulers completely destroyed these regions. The...

Yep, one of the main reasons for the underdevelopment of Pakistan is that there are a lot of tribal communities who are not really interested in hard work or education on the other hand there is only a small number of tribal communities in Gujarat and the people of Gujarat are well known for...

This is one of the reasons for the underdevelopment of eastern India. But what about Pakistan and Rajasthan? Rajasthan and parts of Pakistan were ruled by princely states and were not for a long time under British rule but Pakistan and Rajasthan are still less developed than southern India.

This discussion is not about UP. When you compare BD, northern India and Pakistan with southern Indian states like Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu its pretty obvious that southern Indian is far ahead. In fact Maharashtra has a higher GDP than Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Afghanistan and Bangladesh are even less developed than UP. Only Gujarat has a high development.

Its true that southern India was ahead during medieval period(7th - 16th century) and in the 18th century under the rule of the Maratha Empire and Mysore kingdom but that wasn't the case during ancient period(4th century BC- 6th century CE)

Southern India and Sri Lanka are more developed than Afghanistan, Pakistan, northern India and Bangladesh in terms of Human development, literacy rate and GDP. But this was not always the case. From the 4th century BC to the 6th century CE parts of northern India was more developed than southern...

I hope this won't happen. Don't get me wrong. I consider Shivaji Maharaj one of the greatest kings in Indian history but the huge statue will be a waste of money. There is already a statue of Shivaji Maharaj in Agra the formal capital of the Mughals on the other hand there is not even one...

Thanks By the way did you watch the Brazilian serial Caminho Das Indias which seems to have been a hit in Brazil.

I highly doubt that this is the main reason. The development of Odisha is more or less on the same level as Bihar despite of the fact that Odisha is a coastal state.

The British are one of the reasons for the underdevelopment of eastern India. Modern eastern India and Bangladesh were for the longest time under direct British rule on the other hand parts of Gujarat, Mysore and Kerala were ruled by Indian rulers during the British period who did a lot for the...

There doesn't exist a country that has such a large economic gap between the different states like India.

There are Indian states like Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat or Tamil Nadu that are more developed than Indian states like Bihar, Rajasthan or Odisha. But what is the main reason for the large economic gap between the Indian states.?

It doesn't make much sense to compare the income per capita of both countries as the Indian population is much bigger than the Brazilian population. But if history repeats itself then India will take over Brazil. By the way good luck for the World Cup this year.

Don't worry. The natural order will be reestablished like it was during ancient and medieval period and India will take over Brazil in a few years.

Drive the terrorists back to Pakistan where they belong to.

There is no doubt that Aurangzeb was the worst Mughal ruler. He was responsible for the collapse of the Mughal Dynasty as he started the war against the Marathas. It was because of Aurangzeb that the Marathas invaded and conquered northern India and destroyed the Mughal Dynasty in the 18th...

This is unfortunately true. There are only a few Indians who know about great Indian warriors like the Maratha general Baji Rao who destroyed the Mughal Empire or the Indian queen Naiki Devi who defeated Muhammad Ghori in the 12th century.

He he Yes the Arab and Turkic conquest of Afghanistan and Pakistan was indeed bloody. Its hilarious that Pakis and Afghans still use the writing system of their former masters the Arabs.
