About the Book

This book offers a detailed exploration of the evolution of population politics in India since its independence in 1947. It provides an insightful analysis of how population issues have been intertwined with national development policies and how demographic changes have shaped India's growth trajectory.

The content draws on a wealth of reports and unpublished documents to present an accessible and comprehensive overview of the topic. It delves into the expansion of India's demographic database, the challenges in population research, and critical issues such as the growing demographic disparity between the North and South of India, as well as the alarming rise of female foeticide.

The book also offers concrete suggestions in light of the upcoming 2011 Census, making it highly relevant for scholars, planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of population dynamics and national development.
