The largest city in South India is known as the country’s “Silicon Valley,” and is crucial to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans for rapid technological development through the 2020s. But despite a decade of rule, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party - or BJP - still struggles to win over this vital region. With India’s national election - the largest in history - happening now, let’s take a quick look at some data to better understand this country of 1.4 billion.
Situated on the massive Deccan Plateau at an average elevation 900 meters above sea level, the city known as Bengalūru in its official language, Kannada, has a metropolitan population of 15 million. It is the capital of Karnataka, one of five states in South India, a region that includes two other megacities: Chennai and Hyderabad.
Bangalore’s modern story dates to when the old town surrounding its nearly 600 year-old fort began merging with the British Cantonment into one metropolis, around the time the Indian Institute of Science was founded, sparking the city’s transformation into an innovation hub.
This brings talented scientists, engineers, and business leaders to the southern region, whose companies also benefit from the many ports along its vast coastline. Its five states now account for 20% of India’s total population, but 31% of its Gross Domestic Product, driven by its IT sector [which makes up 66% of the national total]; electronic goods exports [45%] and [nearly 80%] the latest sector sweeping India: Global Capability Centers-where teams of engineers, lawyers, designers perform specialized tasks for multinational corporations.
Together, these sectors have pushed Gross State Domestic Product per person across the South to $3,176 USD a year. That’s more than double the $1,400 ($1,411) across the national capital and nearby states that make up the North Central Culture Zone.
Comparing individual state figures reveals that much of the South is at least three times as prosperous as the two most popular states in India, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Only 3.2% of the population in the South lives below the poverty line, whereas 16.8% do in the North Central Zone.
For context, many of these state-to-state differences are on par with gaps between countries in Europe and Africa, and they are mirrored in India’s complex politics. In the last national election in 2019, Prime Minister Modi’s BJP and its coalition dominated the North, but struggled mightily in the South, where they do not currently control any of its state legislatures. This is partly due to a central tenet of the BJP ideology: heavy promotion of Hinduism.
Given that the percentage of Hindu followers is about the same across Northern and Southern states, with the exception of places like Kerala, this seems like it would be a winning strategy everywhere, indicates that Hinduism is less central to people’s identities there. For example, Hindi is the official language in every state in the North Central Culture Zone, but not in any of the five states of the South.
1.I am from South Telangana and we are voting for BJP because of their great development across countries
2.In South BJP doesn't have much presence because of regional parties but now slowly BJP is starting to gain big down here.
3. And towards Hinduism, North yes is little conservative compared to South but that's due to history, north faced more invasions and violence for many centuries even down South their are places where Muslims invasions and historical atrocities motivate people to vote as Hindu vote bank like bhainsa in Telangana or costal Karnataka.
4.And lastly no for the last 70 years India was under a more inclusive Congress but their pro minority approach ignoring majority and no focus on development is what brought BJP to power in first place.
5.And actually if you look at voter data from the Election Commission of India it's always educated in urban India which prefers BJP unlike the less educated rural side.
This video was supposed to be about Bengaluru city and its development; not north - south India
Surprised to see someone from west not using slums to show India..are you alright buddy ?? everything okay ??? 😂😂
It is surprising to see the low average education level in India. I work with so many Indians that are brilliant. It's easy to forget the large number remaining in India and that those who left are not the normal, but the exceptional. I'm rooting for India to be the number 2 economy in the world. Go India!
It's pure hardwork. Those folks spend 10-12 hours studying.
Low average do all yankee have proper education just ask them simple math and geography question 😂
Many of these facts surprised me, so I thought highlighting them would help people could gain a bit more understanding of the larger issues at play heading into the election and the rest of the decade.
Why has almost no one in the West heard of Bangalore?
I think historically most of the discourse has centred around the more historically influential cities; however, many in the business community are aware of Bangalore.
I think it’s a well know place
I think the west knows banglore
oh they have, so much so that getting bangalored became an idiom for losing your tech job in the '90s.
@@Zilero Agreed, although I think most Americans - myself included before embarking on this series - know very little about India in general.
Learn about past policy of govt like freight equalisation policy.. Which subsidies the raw materials which came from north state for south coastal state.. Which is one of main reason why coastal state got industrial fast.. Companies could just Establish industry near sea and port because they didn't have to worry about logistic cost.
great video and super props on getting the data and tables and graphs onto the video! feels like that should be a standard for videos in similar formats
What a really stupid and baseless comparison. The much of the north states was ruled by the congress party for decades. The same party which ruled the south. This is soo hilarious and biased that it is not even funny. Also the topic in as, bangalore wad ruled by the bjp very recntly until it lost the elections last year. So the thing to remember is that it is not the bjp at fault because of low indicators of the north. It is those decades of corruption and family rule that had destroyed the north and the south was driven by mainly local politics which saved it. Also the south had never been invaded by any foreign powers in the history and hence the cultural significance is high. In this context we can compare the economy of US mainland states and interior states or alaska. All indicators are in the negative. So before spewing ur so called hate facts why don't you check yourself before you wreck yourself TDC?
lesgoo been subscribed to this channel years and now you're covering my own city!
video is supposed to be about bengaluru but it comes out same north vs south propaganda
Great Video Man! Love from India! ❤
Appreciate you Steve!
Thanks for the video. Most foreigners think that entire India is like North India .
That’s amazing ❤ love and prosperity to India 🇮🇳 ❤
You should make a video on Detroit
When will you do Seoul and Beijing for you Mega City Videos finally?
Seoul definitely soon :)
Please make an independent video just on Bangalore. I would love it.
He makes videos on good infrastructure. What is there in Bangalore to make a video on?
Am southie...M❤di win for sure... Jai shree Ram... ಜೈ ಶ್ರೀ ರಾಮ್
North Central zone is very misleading, You intentionally exclude states in the north that do better than south and would have brought the whole average up in poverty rate, life expectancy , literacy etc.
Not really, Punjab Haryana Himachal Uttarakhand Delhi Jammu are very low population wise and wont bring it up.
Very interesting, nice to know more about India
Great!
31% of GDP contribution from south Indian states is likely to go up to 40% with in a span of next 5 to 10 years.Meanwhile north is busy in religion conflicts & caste politics
Look someone forgot about Maharashtra and Gujarat,
And by the way let's see what happened to UP.
When kindly check gdp rich state in 2024 1 Maharashtra 2 up 3 tamil nadu 4 gujrat
Caste politics is equally strong in Southern India. Only it's not violent.
MH and GJ pays more taxes than all south Indian states combined.
UP's contribution to GDP is also high. Still it should go much higher as it's population is more.
North is realising there old mistakes and throwing out regional caste based political parties who were dominant till 2014
Thank you for speaking against ricebags and betiyar followers
Catholic caste
Protestant caste
Orthodox caste
Evangelist caste
2:20 LOL AP is a waste state compared to Telangana. Vijayawada should immediately get metro rail
Unsubscribing, please don't make such useless misleading crap again 😂
What misleading crap?
Bengaluru ❤
Nothing abt the city and only about politics very disappointing video man
"Examining the 2024 Election" reading not your strong suit?
I also saw they want to divide India 😂 they doing all this to halt India's progress we all know ! Richest and highest tax paying state of India Maharashtra (my state ) he casually ignored MODIS home state Gujarat which Also 3 rd richest state and 2nd highest industrialized state he also ignored that 😂 ! And also he ignored goa😂 which havw Highest HDI and per capita in India ! All are Under BJP rule ! Modi recently came in power in North India like a decade ago ! It was congress who keep them illiterate for 60+ years in there rule ! Where as where BJP born in western India our all states perform best in almost every sector still to his narrative of North South divide he used modi😂 and very well recent GST tax collection also showed which state pay high tax lol ! Its Maharashtra Karnataka haryana UP tamilnadu Gujarat
Sorry to disappoint. I was planning on a video on just the city, but as I researched - and learned how consequential the election is going to be - I thought zooming out to look at regional differences would be more helpful at the moment. I changed the title and tn to make this more clear. Thanks for your feedback.
ನಾನು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕದಿಂದ ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ ಬೆಂಬಲ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸಿಗೆ ❤
See... BJP does promote Hinduism a bit too much
I too agree with this
It is unhealthy
But I think they've got better vision relating to national socio economic problems
I'm from South TN My family voted for BJP..
First ❤
Bangalore is the best city in India
Haha with ur Indias map we understand ur intentions 😂
I have been to northern india and NO WAY the poverty rate is just 16%.
What constitutes poverty in India might be different from what it does in the west
@@Varun2799 Then the poverty rate is much higher. It should be the same everywhere: the line that defines the minimum living standards. And I'm not from the West, I'm from Costa Rica. I was born in a poor neighborhood, what I saw in india was mental.
when did you last visit India?
Yeah we have a long way to go but it has significantly reduced in the last 10-20 years
I don’t think you realise how big 16.8% is lmao
UP and Bihar is not the only Northern States and 16% is like more than 200m. Its not small
Nice 🇭🇷🚀
Poor Research and Out of context rhetoric.
Why are western youtubers who never visit India try get into our politics..Its blattant interference into our Internal affairs.. I have not seen any Indian youtuber speak about American or European politics.. Since we cannot stop them from interfering in our Affairs ..I suggest Indian RUclipsrs to get into Western Politics..
Bro really skipped the western part more prosperous than south and a bjp bastion just like that
Bro, the video is literally about South India. So ofc he'll not talk about North West
@@stevegracious3787 I get u but what i mean is he labelled the not so north parts as north aka chose the most underdeveloped to show south better like u getting my point? It's like me choosing missisipi for eastern usa and claiming how that makes western part more developed
@@internetzone165Western prosperity is from companies which get money from all Indian users, so reliance, Airtel, adani get money from across India which flows to West whereas development of South is from international sourcing they don't get money from other Indian States.
So West Indian is prosperous because of the whole indian
Who says west India is more prosperous than South
It's certainly not.
Bjp can't win South south indian are not sanatan like North they are not cow belt but beef belt beef eater... South are Dravidian sanatan bring by erusian bhramin from North India... ravan is tamil god and surpnakha is tamil goddess...ppl in South side by side also follow Islam and Christianity example in Andhra Pradesh and tamilnadu Christian religion is very popular....ppl her support mass rally for pro Palestinian hammas not for Kashmir pundit..... atheist is Kerala Periyar is tamilnadu....no one is Hindu jay periyar jay dravid Nadu hallelujah Allah hu Akbar....
Bro from cowbelt spotted

We are going to win 400 seats including all five seats in bengaluru city why because
1.mbbs seats increased to 100k seats from 50k all the way from 2014
2.100percent electrification in railway
3.100 smart city along india
4.world largest universal free health coverage scheme ayushman bharath for 50crore indians. This number 50cr will higher than population of many combined european countries.......
5.many of the higest tunnels in the world. Atal tunnel, zogila tunnel, shinkula tunnel
And still west saying promoting hinduism is the number.......... Biggest news reporting jok
Bjp won maximum seat in karnataka. Richest state of South. Don't interfere
Typical Western attitude of looking down at developing nations. Modi's political party BJP is relatively a new party. It does not have a strong cadre in Southern India, which is very important factor to win elections in India. Despite that, I tell you that it is the fastest growing party in southern India. BJP won 25 out of 28 seats in Karnataka (including Bengaluru, aka Bangalore). Yes, you read it right. BJP swept the technology capital of India. Even in the latest state elections, while BJP performed poorly in the rest of Karnataka, it performed well in its capital. Your knowledge about India is zilch. Perhaps, so is your IQ and EQ.
Exactly. Shameless Western propagandist with a colonial white man's burden, but won't accept it as he is so racist that he won't be able to believe that he is just regurgitating colonial era tropes of India.

Formed in 1980. since then it has been in power for 15/44 years. largest political party in the world by cadre strength .richest in India. unable to win election without invoking God and Religion 😂.
EQ?

Just wait until Bangalore re-elects a BJP MP this time too :)
Its not Hinduism its Hindutva the new ideology of BJP. Hindusim is a religion prevalent in the south.
मैं उत्तर भारत से हूं लेकिन फिर भी बीजेपी सरकार आ रही है बार बीजेपी की सरकार आएगी
BJP for development
VERY WRONG FACTS HERE ! please cross-check and keep your western judgement to yourself !
Again with these western buzzwords of hindu nationalism, divisive politics, etc. It seems a bit rich for a nation like USA to persecute other ethnic and racial minorities and create a country based on Christian nationalistic values and then lecture a relatively young republic of India which is still a developing country and maintaining hard to retain it's cultural and spiritual identity.
It's not our fault if USA doesn't have a rich culture and legacy to boast of it's own and sees the restoration of pride of other's cultural identity as a religious nationalism.
very shallow understanding of India
At least pronunciations were better, coming from that part of the world
This is very biased and bad episode that I have seen on this channel
Why is it because westerner talking about south India is that why???

North Indian spotted😂
North South Divide is fake and it's nothing more than political rhetoric. This video conveniently leaves out Maharashtra and Gujarat, two states that's richer, has better social indicators, exports more, has better infrastructure and is more vibrant than Southern states. Today's India, there are large South Indian communities live in the north and vice versa. A Tamil policeman who speaks Punjabi run the local Police district in Punjab. Delhi has a huge Tamil community. In Tamil Nadu, some of the top popular political analyst are from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh etc. They are plenty of Southern Sikh reporters who come from Punjab. The local southern party for the first time issued a press release in Hindi. These kinds of sociological dynamics are not reflected in stats but becomes very much visible when you go to the South and see it with your own eyes.
Also if you cleave western Uttar Pradesh from the rest of the State as it's own state, it would be richer than Karnataka. Delhi NCR and surrounding areas are richer than most southern states.
The North South divide is your classic case of "Lying with Data".

Such a biased and lopsided video with the cherry picking of facts suitable for a divisive narrative. Additionally why a western channel dedicated mainly in covering infrastructure in cities and who clearly has never visited India is suddenly delving into Indian Politics.
Seems something sinister is going on!!
