True in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh as well (have lived there for years).

Between these four states alone, we're talking about 40% of the country's population.

If more than half of your country believes something, it can be said to be the majority opinion.

Google Sensei tells me:

    UP: 204.2M
    Bihar: 99.02M
    Rajasthan: 68.89M
    Madhya Pradesh: 73.34M
Not even close to 40%. Population of India is about 1.3B to 1.4B.

Those numbers are way too old. Even by the 2011 census, UP was nearly 200M with a decadal growth rate of 20% in the previous decade. Bihar was 104M with a 25% growth rate.

Even with more muted growth, current population would be 230M+ for UP and 125M+ for Bihar.
