Why Do India And China Have So Many People? 

Note: with our maps, people, & scenes, we are not making any political statements. Simply stick figure representations. We hope all countries with border disputes, or disputes of any kind, can resolve them as peacefully as possible.

Bangladesh, China,Pakistan and India have lots of natural and material resources. Britain: Still? I thought I had looted everything

Indians and Chinese are good in mathematics that's why they multiplied so fast 😂

I'm from Russia and i never knew my country has 3rd largest farmlands in the world

Corona:"let me solve this real quick"

The Answer : RICE

Well you see when a mommy and daddy really love each other…

1:17 Brazil: Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

2:15-2:20 that was such an awkward silence lmaooo

Why is India's map wrong?

Because they are good in using the shadow clone jutsu.

Agreed!! Food, weather and fertile land makes easy for living beings..

You missed Bangladesh in the middle ... Capital has one of the highest population density

Because we weren't founded 10 minutes ago

Also the fact that rice produces 3 to 4 times the calories as crops used in Europe before the columbian exchange like wheat and is really labor intensive providing an incentive for many children was helpful.

In addition, their main food staple is rice, whose cultivation can facilitate a high population density.

Ah, Thank you, University of Minnesota. PS: I love how these videos are still small while most RU-vid educational videos these days are at the 10 minute mark without any reason.

The river systems of China and India really provided them with a boost, especially when combined with Rice. Being able to grow and harvest multiple rice crops every year made it easier to feed more people. Which in turn encouraged people to have more children (So they had help harvesting the rice). China and India are also some of the oldest civilisations on the planet and have huge swaths of territory. Being located on the Eurasian continent they also luckily benefited from trade with other states which encouraged growth. Unlike the unfortunate Native Americans the Chinese and Indians had built up immunity to diseases that wiped out most Native Americans. Meaning that when Europeans came they didn't suffer massive population decline. Awesome video and really informative considering the length.

"India has the oldest civilisation history on Planet" Westerners: Wait... I will pretend as if I haven't heard. Why do India and China are so populated????

Kate: China have a large farmland to rely on. Endangered exotic animals and pets: why are we hanging upside down?

Farming has been going on for 8-7000 years in india and rivers climate soil helped in survival.

I am Chinese myself, old tradition believe more kids = more wealth. When you are get old, you will supported by your kids financially. Bigger family they are, bigger economy of family. Kids pretty much future investment. Nowaday it's not like anymore, more kids are burden. Chinese population will shrink alot by next generation.

1) They have good weather and lots of rivers network so early civilization chose these lands to settle down, for agriculture and fishing all years around. In Europe, u couldn't farm any thing for 1/3 of the years due to weather. 2) Due to agriculture base economy, they need more manpower hence more children each generation. 3) Wars. Before weapon of mass destruction invented, these countries had a lot of wars and conflict, thus pushing them to have even more children, just in case the first few die to war or diseases. 3) They do trading from very early civilization, through contact with people from different regions, they built up immunity to some of early plague and disease , that would normally wipe out European or native Americans

You see, China and India still has their great rivers thanks to the Himalayas. And the surrounding area are grasslands. In Middle East, it's a desert and Tigris/Euphrates had history of the waters getting bad. In Southeast Asia, they also have good rivers fed by Himalayas but it's mostly dense jungle. Jungles are hard to tame, and cutting it down can cause problems, especially for a tropical country.

Great video, thanks.

I'm 14 year old Indian Boy , After Independence even Before independence , it was common in to have more than 5 children in a family which continued to happen till 2000 or so and nowdays mostly you'll see , people have 1 or 2 children . Whereas , China follows 1 child policy , it is predicted India will be the most populated country till 2030 .

God : How many Citizens do you want? India: Yes

RICE --> RISE

Love the narration

By this video i can see in many comments that how people are hating each other's country...😐😐🙄😔

A large population might be good in war but in normal life having huge populations isnt good

They also have a continued long history of medical knowledge and practices that help increase, sustain and maintain healthier populations, and strong education ( India under the Brittish empirical rule went backwards in both health and education ) .

Thank you I'd always wondered about this.

Resources: *exists in Asia* Westerners: I am about to destroy this man's whole career

Do NOT go down into the comments.

THEY NEED TO USE PROTECTION

Well most of it happened in just last century, during independence in 1947 India's average life expectancy was 28 years, it was like everything of any value was either destroyed or looted & millions died of starvation.

wait....u shrunken the map of the republic of india.its the wrong map which u hv shown in ur thumbnail.j&k is the united part of india mam😊👍.

To be frank... That's not India!!😂 you've completely taken out J&K out of Indian map!

Thank you! Answered my exact question quickly!

This was amazing! It puts so much into perspective! I never thought of it before and now it makes sense. They have had cultured civilization for multiple millennia growing in vast fertile lands. Amazing to think!

they had a head start because the indus river vally and the yellow river vally are where two of the oldest civilation begain

Pakistan and Bangladesh were part of India before partition in 1947.

this is simple video to understand why those two country overpopulated. Great work.

I remember using GOPHER back in the 1990's as a Web Browser. SMART People at the University of Minnesota. THANK YOU and now I understand more about Population!

It's a plus in age of empires I think

'countries' are temporary, relative and abstract concepts

It's simple because of family pressure after marriage Indians could relate Basically it's goes like 1. U come to the world 2. Few years of unconditional love 3. School starts and also pressure to get good grades 4. Enters high school peer pressure for entrance exam and 10th and 12th 5. Gets into one of the govt. College u will get pressure for career 6. Now u have a degree and a good source of earning Pressure to get married 7. U got married Pressure to have a first child once it came The elders would ask for siblings *Basic reason why india has too much population* It's the basic life of most of the Indian Note: many came and many gone but no one could defeat the elders taunt

India is like a mini Europe. Here people of different languages are living for thousands of years. If Europeans wouldn't migrate to North and South America, Australia , Africa then combined European population would be billion+ . What is happening to Europe now has happened in India hundreds of years back; the migration. People of different countries e.g, Muslims,the Tibetan people from Tibet, Austroasiatic people from south east Asia etc. And the massive death due to any disease or natural calamity was very rear like the bubonic plague in Europe. So death rate was very less than the birth rate in the past. After the development in medical science in modern history the population growth rate again increased. So basically Indians didn't gone through massive death in past as the Native Americans died due to diseases which caused huge decrease in their population.

It's the rivers and the Himalayas . And ofcourse, good economics till 1600 AD

Informative and comprehensive data for global exchanges.

You didn't mention the fact that their cultures and family dynamics make it conducive to raising a lot of children. In Asian cultures, the grandparents play a vital role in raising and rearing grandchildren. This helps the parents to work without distractions or complications. Secondly, extended family and the need for them is also why having lots of children doesn't become a burden on the parents. In other words, relatives have a vested interest in making sure that couples have babies. An aunt and uncle are like parents to children who aren't biologically theirs.

The comment section proves that no matter how hard you try to educate some people, they are gonna remain dumb.

I'm so sorry to say but this video added zero to my knowledge or understanding. The only 2 points made are - they had fertile agricultural land and that they're large in size. MANY countries with these two features exist which do not have this crazy population. Except for some bad puns, this video wasn't informative at all.

Really glad to see captions in हिन्दी

*so. . . invest early in a safe, high yield interest compunding dividen stock?*

Meanwhile their neighbour Japan is dying

I'll tell the secret...RICE

Nice and simple 👏 👍

1. Agricultural land 2. Six seasons for round the year cultivation 3. Conditions most conducive for reproduction

Now i realize why thanos want to wipe out 50 % of all living creatures

The question should not be “why India and China have so many people？”，it should be“Why India and Chinese people always live in their homeland”. You know，colonization and stuffs. I can explain this topic in Chinese very well，but because of language barriers，I can't express myself clearly...that's sad，so I need to learn English much harder.

No, I don’t think the creators of this video understand enough. You cannot attribute that immense growth in population, just to the farmlands. There is plenty of farmland in North America and Europe Africa. Just google the map for arable land and you will see what I’m talking about. The primary reason which hasn’t been mentioned in This video is that both of these civilisations were way more advanced then any other civilisation at the time a lot of people from other lands migrated to these lands contributing to increase in population and sooner, these lands had more amenities, luxuries, better dynasties than most of the world now with the rise of kingdoms and dynasties, food production and economies thrives and a lot of people took up agriculture to support the demand, which caused them to make the most out of the agricultural potential of those lands near the rivers. Trade routes were made from other countries and even more people migrated after looking at the survivability in these lands. But if you want to condense such a dense topic into guess of “ oh, more food! More Growth!!”. Caricature, then sure.

How you guys creating this video, I mean this animation? Can you please tell me😊

Don't forget the fact that Genghis Khan fucked everything that moved

China-fake condoms India-what is a condom

Gostei muito do vídeo, bem explicado e o assunto de grande relevância, parabéns.

Both countries population love Big Bang theory. Apart from learning it, they put it into practiced.

The film does not mention the effect of war. European history since 16th century is really a history of never ending wars of nations.

Hey MinuteEarth, Get the correct map of India. J&K state is missing.

Show the India map correctly.

Interesting. Have a blessed day

For everyone complaining about the map, that's just how it is for most people internationally. No matter how obvious it seems, on an international level, it is still considered to be a disputed territory, and this is the case for most countries with disputed territories. So most maps, for example Google maps, show whatever is acceptable to the people in the country. So in India, all of J&K is part of india, but in Pakistan it is shown differently. And for most of the other countries it J&K is not included in any country... so when people from other countries search for maps of India the most common one that they will see is the one without J&K... not because that's what they believe is true, but because that's the UN accepted standard. The same is true for any other country with territorial disputes. No matter how obvious it seems, unless it is recognized officially at an international level, it will be considered as a disputed territory.

What kind of map of India is that? Makes me angry to even watch this video.

After the founding of new China, our country faced many war threats, so we had to have more people

USA AT 1:17: YEAH I HAVE FARMLAND BANGLADES: 29 LAUGHTER

The real answer is actually the Himalayan mountains they're the tallest mountain range on earth winch means every spring as temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere the greatest amount of snow melt occurs here on earth. The major rivers of china and india. All originate as the snowmelt of the Himalayan winch contributes to the fertile plains and abundance of freshwater winch has enabled the populations to flourish. The Amazon River in south America has a similar origin from snow melt in the Andes mountains and most major rivers worldwide have similar origins like the Congo and nile rivers in central africa. The Himalayas are single handedly the reason for the large populations. Same for Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Because of Advanced Civilization The invasion couldn't erase one of the oldest surviving civilization on earth. We still retain some of the knowledge and have different time keeping systems and everything was in sync with nature. The Hindu metrics of time (Kaala Vyavahara) can be summarized as below: • a Lipta (लिप्ता) is approximately 0.4 seconds • a Vighati (विघटि) is 60 Liptas, or approximately 24 seconds • a Ghadika (घटि) is 60 Vighatis, or approximately 24 minutes • a Muhurta is equal to 2 Ghadikas, or approximately 48 minutes • a Nakshatra ahoratram (नक्षत्र अहोरत्रम्) or sidereal day is exactly equal to 30 Muhurtas (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.) An alternate system described in the Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III is as follows: 100 Truti = 1 Tatpara 30 Tatpara = 1 Nimesha 15 Nimeshas = 1 Kásht́há 30 Kásht́hás = 1 Kalá 30 Kalás = 1 Kṣaṇa 12 Kṣaṇa = 1 Muhúrtta 30 Muhúrttas = 1 day (24 hours) 30 days = 1 month 6 months = 1 Ayana 2 Ayanas = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the gods Small units of time used in the Vedas • a Trasarenu is the combination of 6 celestial atoms. • a Truti is the time needed to integrate 3 Trasarenus, or 1/1687.5th of a second. • a Vedha is 100 Trutis. • a Lava is 3 Vedhas. • a Nimesha is 3 Lavas, or a blink. • a Kshanas is 3 Nimeshas. • a Kashthas is 5 Kshanas, or about 8 seconds. • a Laghu is 15 Kashthas, or about 2 minutes. 15 Laghus make one Nadika, which is also called a danda. This equals the time before water overflows in a six-pala-weight [fourteen ounce] pot of copper, in which a hole is bored with a gold probe weighing four masha and measuring four fingers long. The pot is then placed on water for calculation. 2 Dandas make one Muhurta. 6 or 7 Dandas make one Yamah, or 1/4th of a day or night. 4 Praharas or 4 Yamas are in each day or each night. LUNAR METRICS a tithi (also spelled thithi ) or lunar day is defined as the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours. a paksa (also paksha) or lunar fortnight consists of 15 tithis a masa or lunar month (approximately 29.5 days) is divided into 2 pakshas: the one between new moon and full moon is called gaura (bright) or shukla paksha; the one between full moon and new moon krishna paksha a ritu is 2 masa an ayanam is 3 rituhs a year is 2 Aayanas TROPICAL METRICS a Yaama (याम) = 1/4th of a day(light) or night [ = 7½ Ghatis (घटि) = 3¾ Muhurtas (मुहूर्त) = 3 Horas (होरा) ] 4 Yaamas 1 half of the day (either day or night) 8 Yaamas 1 day (day + night) an Ahoratram is a tropical day (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.) Reckoning of time among other entities Reckoning of time amongst the pitrs( ancestors souls) 1 human day = 1/30 day of the pitrs 30 days of human is 1 month of human = 1 day of the pitrs 12 months of human = 1 year of the pitrs The lifespan of the pitrs is 100 years of the pitrs (= 3,600 human years) Reckoning of time amongst the Devas (loosely translates demi Gods/Elemental Gods) 1 human year = 1 day of the Devas. 30 days of the Devas = 1 month of the Devas. 12 months of the Devas = 1 year of the Devas The lifespan of the Devas is 100 years of the Devas (= 36,000 human years) The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows: 2 Ayanas (six month periods, see above) = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the devas 360 days of the devas = 1 year of the devas 12,000 years of the devas = 4 Yugas Reckoning of time for Brahma. 12,000 years of the Devas = 1 day of Brahma (4320,000,000 human years). This day is divided into 10, 000 parts called charanas. The charanas are divided as follows: The Four Yugas (4 ages) 4 charanas (1,728,000 solar years) Satya Yuga 3 charanas(1,296,000 solar years) Treta Yuga 2 charanas(864,000 solar years) Dwapar Yuga 1 charanas(432,000 solar years) Kali Yuga The cycle repeats itself so altogether there are 1000 cycles of yugas in one day of Brahma. One cycle of the above four yugas is one mahayuga (4.32 billion solar years) A manvantara consists of 71 mahayugas (306,720,000 solar years). Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu (the first Man of every cycle after the great flood) After each manvantara follows one Sandhi Kala of the same duration as a Krita Yuga (1,728,000 = 4 Charana). (It is said that during a Sandhi Kala, the entire earth is submerged in water.) A kalpa consists of a period of 1,728,000 solar years called Adi Sandhi, followed by 14 manvantaras and Sandhi Kalas. A day of Brahma (the God of Creation) equals (14 times 71 mahayugas) + (15 x 4 Charanas) = 994 mahayugas + (60 Charanas) = 994 mahayugas + (6 x 10) Charanas = 994 mahayugas + 6 mahayugas = 1000 mahayugas as is confirmed by the Gita statement "sahasra-yuga paryantam ahar-yad brahmano viduH", meaning, a day of brahma is of 1000 (maha-)yugas. Thus a day of Brahma, kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma 30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259,200,000,000 human years) 12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3,110,400,000,000 human years) 25 years of Brahma = 1 kalpa (77,760,000,000,000 human years) 2 kalpas = 1 parardha (155,520,000,000,000 human years) 2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma, the lifespan of Brahma (311,040,000,000,000 human years) The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows: 360 days of the gods = 1 year of the gods 12,000 years of the gods = 4 Yugas 1,000 sets of 4 Yugas = a day of Brahmá 50 years of Brahma = 1 Pararddham 100 years of Brahma = 1 Param 4,000 + 400 + 400 = 4,800 years = 1 Krita Yuga 3,000 + 300 + 300 = 3,600 years = 1 Tretá Yuga 2,000 + 200 + 200 = 2,400 years = 1 Dwápara Yuga 1,000 + 100 + 100 = 1,200 years = 1 Kali Yuga Alternately, the reigns of 7 Rishis, Indra and Manu = 1 Manwantara = 71x12,000+A (A is not given) = 852,000 years of the gods+A (A is not given) 14 Manwantaras = a day of Brahmá VEDIC TIME UNITS GREATER THAN A KALPA Ancient vedic cosmology takes into account handful of time spans which are even greater than one Kalpa or a day of Brahma. One such unit is a "Maha-Kalpa" which is composed of 36000 such days of Brahma. One Maha-Kalpa is considered as the lifetime of Brahma. There are time units which are larger than one Maha-Kalpa. The largest of them has been calculated as several quadrillions of human years. This precise and massive calculations indicate one important aspect of vedic time system, that, whenever the term "Infinity" has been mentioned in Vedas, it does not indicate something very large. Instead, it appears that the term is meant to refer its literal synonym itself.

It's also worth noting that the areas around Bangladesh, China, India and Pakistan are at or near the places of two of the earliest civilizations; ancient China and the Indus river valley civilization.

India conquered china without war by buddha and Buddhism 🕉️☸️ Jai sanatan dharm 🙏 Peace be upon china and India great civilizations My grandmother was Chinese ❤️

the map of india is shown without jammu and kashmir and is inncorect please correct it minute earth

Why Do India And China Have So Many People? EASY One word - RICE

Wrong ❌ map 🗺️ of INDIA 🇮🇳 is Shown here..✋✋✋✋✋✋

Because india and china stayed within their territories instead of occupying new territories like Europeans into north America, Oceania etc

0:13 The Atlantropa project worked so well that the Mediterranean is a country now.

Came here to learn something but stayed watching the fights in comment 😂 मेरा भारत महान

Best explanation ever

2022 India has become the largest populated country. China has suffered the greatest population decrease rate in 2020 including war eras since the time being

In the comments section of a channel that prides itself in delivering short digestible content, the majority of commenters just make a joke about the headline and couldn't be bothered to watch a 2 minute video. tl;dr at its finest.

Please do not spread hate in the comment section - a random Chinese

We should blame Adam and Eve for pollution and climate change 😂😂😂

Indians and Chinese did not spread to other continents and were trapped within their countries. Highest growth is of uk descent. They grew exponential to usa canada Australia, soth africa , greenland and south America

unrelated but whoever designed the new youtube look needs to be fired.

Don't confuse China and India with those so-called nation states defined by Westphalian treaties. Because they are not! If Europe could be called a continent, China and India can also be called continents. Because these three entities are more or less on the same level. How many people are Europe originated? If you count up all the white people from Americas and Oceania they are also over billion strong. So, there is nothing peculiar about the huge population of China and India.

Many people from all over the world migrated to India before because it was the one of the best place to live in, that is why many tried to conquer it, many failed, many succeeded. Also, the climate and nature has played a big role. There are many factors. So, before you start blaming india for bad things because of your brain washed mentality, try to look back in the past and study some real history. Not the brain washed history but the real one. And accept the fact that india was and will once again become one of the best. India is a great country. Akhand bharat.

Does anyone know how they create these videos??

Wait, the rest of the world doesn't farm all year? What?

0:03 Nepal And Bhutan : Are we a joke to you

9.5k 13 year olds still think indian families have 13 kids each

I will say the reason for having a dense population is the weather, it's much more suitable to live in that kind of weather than living in freezing cold countries or freaking hot countries.
