West India (Western India) or the Western region of India consists of the states of Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan, along with the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. It is highly industrialised, with a large urban population. Most of Western India was part of the Maratha Empire before 'colonisation' by the British. The regions became part of India on independence. The states are roughly bounded by the Thar Desert in the northwest, the Vindhya Range in the north and the Arabian Sea in the west. A major portion of Western India shares the Deccan Plateau with South India.
