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

The Answer : RICE

Corona:"let me solve this real quick"

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

Why is India's map wrong?

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

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

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

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

Because they are good in using the shadow clone jutsu.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

THEY NEED TO USE PROTECTION

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.

"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????

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 .

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 ) .

RICE --> RISE

Do NOT go down into the comments.

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

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!

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

Thank you! Answered my exact question quickly!

Meanwhile their neighbour Japan is dying

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

Informative and comprehensive data for global exchanges.

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.

Hey kindly correct Indian map 😂

It's a plus in age of empires I think

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

Thank you I'd always wondered about this.

China-fake condoms India-what is a condom

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

'countries' are temporary, relative and abstract concepts

Really glad to see captions in हिन्दी

I'll tell the secret...RICE

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

Love the narration

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

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

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.

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

India and China are both very diverse areas where there's many different languages and ethnic groups. They just like the EU if it federalised. If you broke down each province/language/ethnic group in India and China, each group would fit much more ordinarily on the list of most populous countries. People in China range from Koreans, to Uyghurs, to Tibetans, to southern Cantonese speakers, Wenzhounese, Northern Han, etc, etc.. Each of those groups look and sound as different as Greeks to Norwegians to Turks. Even people from different villages can't understand each other unless they use their national lingua franca which is Mandarin, which is used for that purpose.

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😊👍.

Thanks for the detail to the East we North East Indians are shadowed often

The amount of population jokes/puns in this video. Jeez XD

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.

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

instead leg or wing start india china were primarily vegitarian nations atleast india was which further gave huge boost in population as food was abundant

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

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.

Show the India map correctly.

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.

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

Video title: mentions India Every Indian person on the planet: clicks on the video

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.

Reasons why I watch MinuteEarth: 20% = Interesthing, useful and acurate information 10% = I love the voices of all the team 10% = Loyalty 10% = I love Geography 50% = THE PUNS

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

The first few early civilisations also started in Asia, with the Indus Valley Civilization (morden day Pakistan) and some dynasty in China, in fact the biggest city in the world is located in Asia, Tokyo, Japan.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

"We can't know for sure"... I guess we gotta be grateful for honesty at least.

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

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

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.

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.

Your graph looks like linear for rest of world but for India and China it's exponential.

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

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

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

Best explanation ever

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

I watched this video to write summary for my English learning, I had daunted but on the way, noticed the motherland Japan's Islands were drawn in total one shape that I had never watched...! I finally repeated 3 times and could write a summary. The islands were cute.

India and China are so populated because they were same always. The Indus valley civilization had a population of about 2 million to 5 million and it is now proven to be older than Mesopotamia, Egypt and China. So, basically the same huge population migrated in India and out of India resulting in the current human population in India and its nearby countries that are Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. So, in comparison the hypothetical greater India has more population than China as it was always heavily populated from the first civilization started here some 10000 BCE as for now.

lot of factors are involved, availability of resources and food and tropical monsoon climate, marriage culture and family stability, rate of literacy and religious sentiments, death rate decline due to modern medicine.
