India is clearly the larger of the two: about 3,155,807 km² km² against 1,872,242 km² km², roughly 1.7× at true size. Drag one onto the other on the map above to feel the gap.
Both sit in Asia, so this is a same-region comparison: the new Equal Earth map draws both with the same honest geometry, and the real gap is exactly the 1.7× you see above.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (1.2× vs 1× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
Indonesia fits 1× into India.
