List of state and union territory capitals in India
India
is a country located in southern Asia. With
over 1.2 billion people
, India is the most populous
democracy
in the world. It is a
federal
constitutional republic
governed under a
parliamentary system
consisting of
29 states and 7 union territories
. All states, as well as the union territories of
Puducherry
and the
National Capital Territory of Delhi
, have elected legislatures and governments, both patterned on the
Westminster model
. The remaining five union territories are directly ruled by the centre through appointed administrators. In 1956, under the
States Reorganisation Act
, states were reorganised on a linguistic basis. Since then, their structure has remained largely unchanged. Each state or union territory is further divided into administrative districts.
