The Miss India pageant is typically held in September or October, and the winner represents India at the Miss World pageant. The pageant has faced criticism in the past for promoting traditional beauty standards and objectifying women, and there have been calls for it to be abolished. However, the organizers of the pageant have made efforts in recent years to evolve the competition and focus on empowering women and promoting charitable work.
Here is a list of the states in India that have won the Miss India pageant, along with the number of times each state has won:
- Maharashtra: 6 wins (1966, 1994, 2004, 2007, 2014, 2021)
- Andhra Pradesh: 2 wins (1997, 2002)
- Haryana: 4 wins (1999, 2005, 2012, 2015)
- Delhi: 3 wins (2001, 2006, 2009)
- West Bengal: 2 wins (2010, 2016)
- Punjab: 2 wins (2007, 2013)
- Kerala: 1 win (2008)
- Rajasthan: 2 wins (2011, 2019)
- Tamil Nadu: 1 win (2018)
- Goa: 1 win (2020)
It's worth noting that this list only includes states that have won the Miss India pageant since its inception in 1947. There may have been other states that have won the pageant in previous years, but I do not have that information as my knowledge is limited to the timeframe specified in my previous response.
