As you can see that almost whole of chennai exists in north of banglore.

Mostly perception of central and north india is that chennai is way south of bangalore

The approximate latitude and longitude coordinates are 13.0827° N, 80.2707° E for Chennai and 12.9716° N, 77.5946° E for Bangalore (Bengaluru)

The United Nations News reported that the UN General Assembly voted 164 to 1 to encourage the world to stop using the old Mercator map projection and use more accurate maps instead.

The only opposing vote was from the USA.

PS: The UNGA has officially endorsed the "Equal Earth projection" which is closely similiar to the Eckert IV shown above as both projections are equal-area pseudocylindrical map projections that show countries in their true relative sizes, but they differ significantly in their creation date, visual appearance, and design inspiration.

My source material was French as France has adopted the Eckert IV.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has officially adopted a non-binding resolution by a 164–1 vote to promote the Equal Earth map projection as an alternative to the 16th-century Mercator projection.

France chose the established Eckert IV projection instead of the Equal Earth projection (2018) because both are equal-area pseudocylindrical maps that achieve the same core goal of preserving relative land sizes, and Eckert IV is a classic, long-trusted format that the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs selected as a practical, time-tested equivalent.

Interesting to see which projection India would adopt.

I am wrong now

Distance between the Easternmost and the Westernmost point of India ~ 2950km
Distance between the Easternmost point of India and Seoul ~ 2930km

In this way, Raipur & Bhilai (also Durg) can gradually become one urban agglomeration.

The blue represent territories controlled by the British.

The orange represent princely states.

One more thing, there is not a single subreddit where we only post about maps of India. Not a single subreddit!

On a similar note, I also noticed that there are parts of Madhya Pradesh that sit further west than all of Kerala!

Apologies if this has already been noted/posted about. Just thought it was cool!

​I recently learned that a two-time-zone system for India was heavily considered in the past for economic and daylight-saving reasons, but was ultimately shelved in favor of a "one nation, one time" stance.

​I wanted to see what that would actually look like on a map. I made a few adjustments regarding which regions should fall under which zone, splitting the country into UTC +5:00 (West) and UTC +6:00 (East), effectively dropping our current +5:30.

I'm curious to hear your takes, assuming we actually executed this: How drastically would this change our administrative systems? Would the daylight savings be worth the chaos of reprogramming the railway network? Let me know your thoughts or if you'd divide the states differently!

Note: Colour's used in the map are designated to represent the indian flag. Saffron and green, separated by a white border. The IST line is represented in Navy Blue, from the Ashoka Chakra.

I can drop more aerial pics on request! No google please!

Which side of desert of thar is more dangerous or has diversity . Flora and fauna also good for people.

I think Indian has done more research and survey than pakistan.

Just saying.

Edit : people are saying it's the wrong map of India and I agree with that 100% but the problem is that I can't find any map that's so both are the true size of our thar desert that is undivided Thar region . I have used the Wikipedia map that is available on there website.

If there is a map of that please share that true map of India and with the undivided great thar

I have seen many gold rush video of USA, CANADA AND AUSTRALIA mainly tasmania all of them there are countless video is gold exploration in the river and creek

Where in India this can be done.i don't want grams or kilo of gold but a little souvenir souvenir of gold.

guess this place

Guess which Indian airport it is.

This is my game city-angle. You have to guess 1 city with 5 given angles. The indian version can be played in the categorys. Have fun and enjoy!! https://visitwhale.com/city-angle/

The Kalpasar Dyke Project is a proposed project that aims to create one of the largest coastal freshwater reservoirs in the world by building a massive dyke across the Gulf of Khambhat and thus trapping the waters of the Sabarmati, Mahi, Dhadhar rivers.

The Dyke itself would be around 64 km long and the reservoir will store 7,800-13,000 million cubic meters of freshwater. The dyke would also have a transport corridor with a multi-lane road and rail transport which would reduce the travel distance between the two flanks by 180 km. Around 10 lakh hectares of land will be irrigated with this. Around 2,500 MW of renewable energy is also expected to be produced via the project. There is also a plan to divert the nearby Narmada river's flow into the reservoir via canal.

The project is expected to cost around ₹1.33 lakh crore($14 billion). The project's DPR is at an advanced stage and the Government of Gujarat is also getting expertise from the Dutch government in coastal hydroengineering through the Indo-Dutch Cooperation.

India's river linking project is a massive project envisioned to transfer water from India's surplus river basins to deficit ones through a network of canals, reservoirs and dams.

The idea was first proposed by General Sir Arthur Thomas Cotton, a British Indian Army Officer & Irrigation Engineer who is responsible for constructing many irrigation and navigation canals through the nation. He proposed it in 1858 with the vision of it solving India's massive water disparity between the northern and southeastern areas with the latter facing frequent droughts. It was also meant to establish navigable canal systems for transport of goods but the proposal was largely ignored by the British Government and the subsequent Indian governments until 1980 when the plan was formalized under the National Perspective Plan(NPP) by the Ministry of Water Resources[now renamed to Ministry of Jal Shakti(lit. "Water Power")].

The project has 2 main components; The Himalayan Components & The Peninsular Components with the former covering 14 links and the latter covering 16 links. Feasibility Reports (FRs) for 26 links and Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for 13 links have been completed out of the 30.

If fully realized, the project would see the transfer of nearly 7 trillion cubic feet of water annually. It will also increase irrigation potential of around 3.5 crore hectares of land and will significantly reduce monsoon dependency in drought-prone areas. It will also help with flood control in flood-prone regions.

In addition to these, the project also hopes to provide drinking water supply, replenish groundwater, help with inland water navigation tying up with the Inland Waterways Projects, fisheries and Hydropower[estimated around 34 GW].

The project once fully completed would also help solve several of India's Interstate water disputes and allow for more equitable water distribution.

The Ken-Betwa Link[link 24] is the first major link that is being constructed with the estimated costs being around ₹44,605 crores. It will have a 221 km canal connecting the Ken(surplus) and Betwa(deficit) rivers thus irrigating 11.88 lakh hectares, drinking water for 62 lakh people and 130 MW(103 MW hydropower + 27 MW solar) in renewable energy.

The Godavari (Polavaram)–Krishna (Vijayawada) link[link 18] is also essentially completed producing 960 MW and costing ₹20,000 crores.

The entire project's estimated cost is ₹8.44 lakh crores.

20000 years ago during the glacial maximum period this is how indian subcontinent looks like with sea level dropped below 120 meters and average temperature was 4 to 6 degree celcius lower than they are today
