Why does India attach importance to the northern territory?

Northern India is one of the core regions of India, so we attach importance to the Northern Territory.

Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state, is located in the north, with a population of over 200 million and an area of 240,000 square kilometers. It borders on Bihar, India's third most populous state, with a population of over 654.38 billion, with more than 96 million to the east of West Bengal. There are three states with the fourth largest population in the foothills of the Himalayas, and only Maharashtra, the second largest state, is located in the southern coastal area.

Northern India is one of the core regions of India. Due to the influence of topography, about one third of the population is distributed in this plain. Population is a valuable asset of a country, so safety is particularly important. For India, the Himalayas and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the north are the mountains that really weigh on its head. From any point of view, the high position has an overwhelming advantage over the bottom. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the water tower of Asia and the birthplace of many rivers.

Terrain of India

From the Himalayas to the south, it extends to the Indian Ocean, with mountains in the north, Indus-Ganges Plain in the middle and Deccan Plateau and its coastal plains on the east and west sides in the south. The plains account for about 40% of the total area, the mountains only account for 25%, and the plateaus account for 1/3, but the elevation of most of these mountains and plateaus does not exceed 1000 meters.

The terrain is low and gentle, which has an absolute advantage in the whole country. Not only is the transportation convenient, but also with the cooperation of tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can grow all year round, which has unique natural conditions.
