29 States Of India Vs Countries Of Equal Size & The Population Difference? Shocking!

Area wise, India is the 7th largest country in the world. There are so many other countries across the globe which are way smaller than our individual states.

But, we cannot forget the fact that despite of being the 7th largest country area wise, we have the world’s second largest population. Now, this is a bit off proportion, isn’t it? So, let me show you how disproportionate and crowded India actually is, although I’m sure you have a neat idea.

We stumbled upon an image made by Reddit user garaile64 that picked countries which have the same area as our 29 different states. Then we wondered about the staggering difference in the population & decided to make a comparison. The area mentioned is a round figure of the average of both the state and the country’s area. Have a look.

Except Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram & Sikkim, all the other 26 states are bypassing their parallel country’s population by a huge margin. It’s not news to us that ‘population’ is one of the biggest problems India is facing, but every time you look at such statistics, it hits you hard.
