      To give some perspective on how overcrowded it is, ppl talk about how California would have the 5th highest GDP if it was a separate country. Uttar Pradesh would have the 5th highest population if it was a separate country.

      Despite it’s high population, it has no industry except agriculture and doesn’t have a single large city. Its largest city and capital only has 4 million ppl. Bangladesh has 70% the population of Uttar Pradesh but its capital, Dhaka, is over twice as big. And Bangladesh is considered rural and poor.
