To understand Uttar Pradesh is to understand India. Located in the northern plains of India, Uttar Pradesh (UP), has a population of 199.5 million. This is 16.49% of the national population of 1.2bn, and makes UP the country’s most populous state. If Uttar Pradesh was a country, it would have the fifth highest population in the world.

Demography indicates that 80% of the inhabitants of Uttar Pradesh adhere to Hinduism and 18% to Islam. The remaining 2% of the population consists of minorities like Christians, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs...

The political importance of Uttar Pradesh can be ascertained from the fact that since India achieved independence in 1947, eight out of fourteen of its prime ministers have hailed from Uttar Pradesh.
