Why do people live where they do in India?

Answer 1

India has many factors which determine where people live. As a nation they have cross cleavages, which are comparable to our states. In addition to this they also have a caste class system which divides population into groups based on their profession. Once you are in a caste the only way out is to move so far away that no one knows what caste you originally were in. Also there are certain unwritten laws that you cannot marry outside your caste. The cross country cleavages, states, are based on many factors including: language, castes, and religion. Now the Caste System has began to slide because of all the employment opportunities in the larger cities.
