North India versus South India (Why is South so much better?)

Interesting data points. Avenues for women's education and workplace inclusion is one area Pakistan definitely has room for improvement compared to other developing countries.

I had to look up many of these cities since they are new names to me. The top few cities in the less than 1 Million ranking all seem to be from one state which also has a few in the 1 Million+ ranking. Why is that so, is this state (Tamil Nadu?) much better for women for some reason? Some unique cultural attribute there?

Women are usually part of workforce in southern states , Bengal, Maharashtra, NE, probably Orissa as well. In Gujarat and Punjab usually they will join family business if not working by themselves. The primary issue with women participation in education and workforce is in UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Haryana, MP or largely the Hindi Belt. These states collectively constitute almost 40% of countries population and as long as they continue to limit their women while also not paying enough attention to family planning, they will continue to remain socially backward and in many cases financially backward..
