World Geography

I was going through the McDougal Littell World Geography book.

It is a very interesting textbook and I love reading through the book. You may refer

Here is some interesting comparison between US and India:

Area:
India: 1,195,063 sq. miles
US: 3,787,319 sq. miles

Population:
India: 1,002,142,000 ( year 2000 estimate)
US: 281,422,000

Doctors per 100,000 population (1992-1999)
India: 48
US: 251

We talk of population explosion, healthcare and housing, etc.

Just looking at the above figures we understand a lot!
