Bolivia is larger by 1,044,000 km² (403,000 mi²), which is 2,454% of the area of Jammu and Kashmir.
Measured in Belgiums: Bolivia is about 35.4, Jammu and Kashmir about 1.39.

How they differ

Bolivia is larger, but Jammu and Kashmir has the larger population: 12.3 million against 12.2 million, 1.00× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 288 in Jammu and Kashmir against 11 in Bolivia: Jammu and Kashmir is 25.6× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 15,600 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Bolivia at 17°S is drawn about 1.1× too large and Jammu and Kashmir at 34°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Bolivia as 19.3× the size of Jammu and Kashmir instead of 25.5×.
Together Bolivia and Jammu and Kashmir cover 1,129,000 km², close to the size of Ethiopia (1,127,000 km², 0.2% smaller).
The gap between them, 1,044,000 km², is about the size of Mauritania (1,036,000 km²).
At Jammu and Kashmir's density, Bolivia would have 313.1 million people (it has 12.2 million). At Bolivia's density, Jammu and Kashmir would have 479,000 (it has 12.3 million).

Bolivia ranks 29th of 246 countries and territories by area.
Jammu and Kashmir is the 22nd largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 1.4% of its area; it is the 22nd most densely populated of them.
Jammu and Kashmir lies about 50° of latitude (roughly 5,590 km) north of Bolivia, on the other side of the equator.
Shared out evenly, each person in Bolivia would have about 88,760 m² and each person in Jammu and Kashmir about 3,470 m².

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
Drawing: Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
