I think India requires 2 blank pages - when I was applying for my recent Visa I read this and double checked I had some (though I don't know why they require 2, the visa only occupied one). Luckily, I had several at the front...

Yes! This is exactly the state of my passport too. Always infuriating when they use a new page for one stamp when there's loads of space on other pages. I dare not ask or question a US Immigration official for fear of finding myself in an orange jumpsuit though!
