Do You Know 'Abbreviation of Indian States'?

                 As we know that, now India is divided into 29 states and seven union territories. Since the Postal Service instituted ZIP codes and their accompanying state postal codes in 1963, the two-letter abbreviations have steadily gained popularity. Though it is usually preferable to write out the full name, space constraints often require use of an abbreviation.
