Thank you! I would like to see the official map get updated too, especially now that post-2019 Indian state maps are more common than ever. Knowing India, when the map finally gets updated two or three new states will have been created!
How did you make the map though? I want to make a detailed map of the Indian Subcontinent with the bordering countries in it but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
The map is simply an official Jetpunk map from the Indian States quiz. I added Ladakh in 2019, and it wasn't too precise considering that reference maps for what the territory looked like were scarce and always included all territory claimed by India in that region. However, I have double-checked the borders a couple times since and I believe it to be accurate. Sri Lanka is a recent addition, and I simply took the path from Jetpunk's Asia map (along with the India path temporarily, so that I could measure the placement correctly). Finally I made surrounding countries a tad darker (#CCCCCC) and drew a border on the outside of the map.
Both the official Jetpunk Asia and Indian States maps have a great deal of detail, and so I haven't an excuse to make my own maps yet. If you decide to make your own map it would be neat to see, however, and you are always welcome to use this map here too!
Great quiz! One correction - on the map, Bhiwandi appears to be located close to Delhi. Bhiwandi is in fact a suburb of Mumbai in the state of Maharashtra
Thank you! I will have to fix that, when I originally typed Bhiwandi into Google Maps to see where it was, it took me to the city of Bhiwandi, Haryana :(
So India has around 60 cities that are bigger than the biggest city I've ever been to (that's 2nd biggest in my country of almost 40 million people). :D
It is crazy, and these numbers have room to grow as India continues to develop and urbanise! I love the idea of going to a city like Meerut, a place that rivals the likes of the biggest cities in Canada, yet a place almost no one here has heard of :)
You were aiming to make all borders on the map polygons, right? If so, you missed the border between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it’s still a bezier curve. And of course I loved the quiz and the map, my inner Monk is just put off by that one curvy line.
Thank you! It's in fact a modified version of the 'official' India map used by the Indian states quiz. I had to edit it to add Sri Lanka and split Jammu and Kashmir with Ladakh :)
Can you please give us the source of the quiz ?
Btw, would you accept some type-ins like Vizag and Visakhapatnam for Vishakhapatnam and Gurgaon for Gurugram
And Kashi for varansi?
