Bad image. See this. For states.
Also, yes. The southern states are more developed than northern. The eastern states are also more developed than central and northern states.
Mainly because.
Population is low compared to the north.
The Gangetic plain is possibly the flattest and most fertile land in the whole world. The only comparable plain would be yellow River of China. That's why both always had massive population.
And that's why North is underdeveloped. Too many people. Too less space. Like USA, each stage have their own elections and parties and ministers etc. Bad governance is also another reason.
Main reason is, see all the southern states. See anything common? They're all next to seas. Ports is the main reason why southern states are rich and more developed. With better HDI and fertility rates.
The HDI, fertility rate and education % of the state "Kerala" can be compared to western nations.
