Why Land Units Differ by State in India?

India's land measurement system evolved independently in different regions over centuries, leading to significant variation. For example, a "Bigha" in Uttar Pradesh (27,000 sq ft) is very different from a Bigha in West Bengal (14,400 sq ft) or Himachal Pradesh (8,712 sq ft). Always verify which state's definition applies before any land transaction.
