How Indian states compare with countries
How big is Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state? One way of answering the question is to take its total area: 95,000 square miles, says The Economist.
Another way is to think of it as a country. If Uttar Pradesh were to declare independence, it would be the world's fifth most populous country, it says.
Yet its economy would only be the size of Qatar, a tiny oil-rich state of fewer than two million people. That makes it poor on a per person basis. Despite India's two decades of rapid growth, Uttar Pradesh's GDP per head is close to that of Kenya, says The Economist.
Let's take a look at some of the Indian states and see how they compare to countries.
