I've spent what seems like half an hour for figuring out what Indians - when curious, keep nagging Google about their own country. I'm hereby revealing what Google prompted Indians when they typed "Why is state -----" into the search engine.
There's a lot of geography/history test questions like 'Why is Gujarat A Dry State ?' and 'Why is Rajasthan A Desert ?' (Thank God, no Racism !!!) and some genuine curiosity/GK questions like 'Why is Shillong The Scotland Of The East ?'
What is hilarious is that people are actually asking Google - 'Why is Bengal In East?'. When i searched, i got a point that "Haryana and Tripura returned zero suggestions."
Interestingly, When one of my friend tried the Same thing, he found different auto-complete responses from 'Google'.
What he got is,
Why is Karnataka - So famous
Why is Delhi - Called mini India
Why is Kerala - Densely populated
Clearly, People in different states have their own 'Idea of India' across the country.

This Shows that, Indians changed their perspective about themselves (as time passes).....This is what 'India' looks according to an average Indian who lived in early 2010's....
