With
a
population
that
would
make
it
the
fifth
most
populated
in
the
world
if
it
were
a
country,
Uttar
Pradesh
has
undoubtedly
been
India's
most
politically
important
state
since
Independence.
It
sends
the
highest
number
of
Lok
Sabha
members
to
Parliament
and
has
the
biggest
legislature
in
the
country.
It
also
has
to
its
credit
the
highest
number
of
prime
ministers
and
powerful
political
dynasties.Yet
it
has
been
behind
several
states,
despite
being
home
to
bastions
of
some
of
the
biggest
names
in
Indian
politics.
With
its
clear
and
decisive
imprint
on
national
politics,
UP
also
reflects
some
of
its
worst
ills:
from
casteism
and
using
religion
as
a
political
plank
to
manoeuvring
for
power.From
Lucknow
to
Lutyens
tells
the
fascinating
story
of
UP
in
post-Independence
India
and
the
intertwined
fortunes
of
the two.
