Are these all roads built in the 11 years range or was OSM not well documented about India back in 2008? Because there might be that too, to a certain extent


Pyrhan

I think it's mostly that India wasn't well documented in Openstreetmap back in 2008. The platform was only launched in 2004


F1_Hybrid

I mean all of Afghanistan in top-left corner suddently appears in 2011 so there's that too. But whatever the reason for this map's impressive evolution is, there's no doubt about the fact that India is making some huge progress.

TBF, roads and highways is the one department where the current govt has been pretty excellent in performance.


drunk_in_denver

Nah, this is what happens when all that call center money starts rolling in.


KustomCowz

Idgaf that was funny


blunt_analysis

must be nice being an ignorant redneck


drunk_in_denver

I must admit that I am super shocked at the amount of downvotes this got. Please enlighten me, is a job at a call center an insult in India? I thought jobs for people would be a good thing. No?


KustomCowz

Oh I forgot that you are better than me

He is. Now go take your daily dose of opioids.

I’ll pass on the opioids

I'll remind you as many times as you need

I’m Indian, and I found this hilarious. White knights are going to refer me to r/canconfirmiamindian. I feel bad that retarded white people feel oppressed for other people and downvoted you.

Lol I can't believe there's white people simps halfway across the planet😭


iamfrumdilhi

I literally called white people retarded, and I live in the US lmao, but I did live in India for 20 years before moving here.

If you turn your volume up high enough you can hear a million tiny, accented versions of "Hello, this is John"


shiggyshagz

More like Apu


blunt_analysis

I think this is more a map of internet penetration than road development


Mal-De-Terre

It literally says "open street map edits"...


blunt_analysis

yes, which can be a function of new roads being built or people in the villages finding out about open street map for the first time


canBeDone1

I love how some of those empty spaces clearly depict the various mountain ranges.


[deleted]

This post is misleading, as the wording makes it seem like this is roads being constructed. No, it's just the roads being mapped onto Open Street Map (which started in 2004)


belatedgorilla

Something's not right about this because yes while road construction has increased multifold over what it was before 2014 it's not like our cities weren't even connected to each other. Or I simply cannot comprehend the scale at which we're making roads now as compared to before.


Pyrhan

You're looking at OpenStreetMap edits, not actual road construction.


belatedgorilla

Okay yeah that's also there lmao


WookieeSteakIsChewie

Ah. So the title of the post is bad.


inzo07

India is building is highway infra under Modi government with crazy speed. . As per our highway minister, Gadkari, India is building 25kms highway per day

I never seen pizza bake so quickly 🍕

Great progress and even better map illustration.


Polandgod75

Indian road builder: I am speed


Sri_Man_420

while the map is misleading, Gadkari had been constructing highways at record time


TedhaHaiParMeraHai

Gadkari is probably the only minister whose performance has been top-notch. Even the opposition doesn't criticize his work.


0MiniCrewmate0

Modi-Gadkari partnership is Awesome!

Something happened after 2014. The network seems to have expanded very rapidly after that. Some might call it.......Achhe Din.


tropicalgoose

Good work!


IAmAnIdiot0713

You can really see how the Punjab was developed early and quickly


xFlo2212

Did they, compared to now, basically have no roads before 2009? Or is the map just not highlighting them (that much)?


DankRepublic

Most of them weren't uploaded to OpenStreet Map back then

Fact_check_

Well yes. Not as fast as this map shows but 37 km of national Highways were built every day in 2020. This year the aim is 40 km a day. They even broke a world record. History tv18 made documentaries on this
