Indian States Quiz

India is divided into 28 states and 8 union territories, with each state having its own elected government. The states were largely reorganized along linguistic lines following independence, so most states correspond to a dominant regional language - Tamil Nadu (Tamil), Kerala (Malayalam), Karnataka (Kannada), Andhra Pradesh/Telangana (Telugu), Maharashtra (Marathi), Gujarat (Gujarati), West Bengal (Bengali), Punjab (Punjabi), and so on. The union territories are administered directly by the central government.

The Ganges, Brahmaputra, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri are major rivers that define regional geography.
