Left out or changed by Shishya: None left out: all 28 states as printed. Reverse set to null because Chandigarh is the capital of both Haryana and Punjab. Spellings kept exactly as the portal prints them (Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar). Old knowindia.india.gov.in no longer resolves; its successor india.gov.in Facts of India page was read in a browser (WebFetch got HTTP 403). Union territories from the same page: kept Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Lakshadweep, Ladakh; left out Chandigarh, Delhi and Puducherry (the capital is the UT's own name) and Jammu and Kashmir (printed as 'Srinagar-S*, Jammu-W*', two capitals).
Names and spellings are kept as the source prints them. Spotted a change on the official page? The list is re-read from the source, never from other sites.
