The myth of India s population explosion © Getty Images More than 220 million people live in Uttar Pradesh, India s most populous state
Uttar Pradesh, India s most populous state, has unveiled a controversial bill for curbing population growth.

UP, which is home to over 220 million people, has long been a governance challenge and has consistently ranked low on development indices.
