The population counts on this page disagree with the population counts on some of the linked state pages. This should be fixed and we should footnote the census year that was chosen. -- Meara 11:53, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Pondy et al are UTs and not states and will confuse someone new to Indian geography. I suggest that UTs be given a separate article or a new table atleast to avoid confusion. For eg. in the article Pondicherry, it is listed as the second largest by population, but here it shows the rankings of only the states and the UTs are given a mere "-". Pl look into this someone. -- Idleguy 14:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

It should be 899:1000 instead 100:1000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.193.159.33 ( talk) 04:13, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
We are working towards raising awareness on inequality among Indian states. We feel that this will eventually lead to elections focused on development issues. At present we provide comparison of states on number of topics mainly through map and single point of data. We want to add our page on population of states, http://statemaps.org/india/state_population/ as useful link on article page. Please suggest what is Wikipedia policy regarding this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hobbescalvin ( talk • contribs) 17:35, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
According to p 20 of this census handbook, Punjab was 15th. Our article says 16th. Is this handbook wrong? - Sitush ( talk) 03:08, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
It seems most peculiar that the percentage of people in the largest state is not indicated in the table. Probably an oversight but the value could even be calculated if it is not in the source data.
