      Every projection deforms either size ot shape. The projection that this resolution proposes stretches everything vertically (but preserves the sizes). You can see it by looking at intersections between meridians and circles. The spaces between them are supposed to be closer to squares.

      India used to be a long thin Island and then it smashed into the rest of the continent to the North and sort of smushed out on the northern’s edge. Eventually it will be completely flattened against the uppercontinent.
