Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Population History of India provides an account of the size and characteristics of India's population stretching from when hunter-gatherer homo sapiens first arrived in the country - very roughly seventy thousand years ago - until the modern day. It is a period during which the population grew from just a handful of people to reach almost 1.4 billion, and a time when the fact of death had a huge influence on the nature of life. This book considers the millennia that were characterized by hunting and gathering, the Indus valley civilization, the opening-up of the Ganges river basin, and the eras of the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal Empire, British colonial rule, and India since independence. By observing India through a demographic lens, A Population History of India: From the First Modern People to the Present Day addresses mortality, fertility, the size of cities, patterns of migration, and the multitude of famines, epidemics, invasions, wars, and other events that affected the population. It draws together research from archaeology, cultural studies, economics, epidemiology, linguistics, history, and politics to understand the likely trajectory of India's population in comparison to the trends that applied to Europe and China, and to reveal a surprising and dramatic story.

Download or read book Population Dynamics in Eastern India and Bangladesh written by Aparajita Chattopadhyay and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights historical and current perspectives on population issues in the Bengali-speaking states of India (i.e., West Bengal, Tripura, Assam) and Bangladesh and explores three core population dynamics: fertility, mortality–morbidity and development. Furthermore, it presents a selection of revealing cases from area-specific micro-studies, mainly conducted in West Bengal and Bangladesh. The book covers various demographic and health issues in these two regions, which are similar in terms of several sociocultural aspects, yet dissimilar in terms of their policies and programs. Adopting an integrated approach that combines various disciplines and perspectives, it explores highly topical issues such as social inequality, religious difference and mental health. The book is intended for a broad readership interested in population studies, sociology and development, including academics, researchers, planners and policymakers.
Download or read book The Other One Percent written by Sanjoy Chakravorty and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most remarkable stories of immigration in the last half century is that of Indians to the United States. People of Indian origin make up a little over one percent of the American population now, up from barely half a percent at the turn of the millennium. Not only has its recent growth been extraordinary, but this population from a developing nation with low human capital is now the most-educated and highest-income group in the world's most advanced nation. The Other One Percent is a careful, data-driven, and comprehensive account of the three core processes-selection, assimilation, and entrepreneurship-that have led to this rapid rise. This unique phenomenon is driven by-and, in turn, has influenced-wide-ranging changes, especially the on-going revolution in information technology and its impact on economic globalization, immigration policies in the U.S., higher education policies in India, and foreign policies of both nations. If the overall picture is one of economic success, the details reveal the critical issues faced by Indian immigrants stemming from the social, linguistic, and class structure in India, their professional and geographic distribution in the U.S., their pan-Indian and regional identities, their strong presence in both high-skill industries (like computers and medicine) and low-skill industries (like hospitality and retail trade), and the multi-generational challenges of a diverse group from the world's largest democracy fitting into its oldest.

Book excerpt: "The coverage is quite exhaustive beginning with the pre- independence period to the Draft National Population Policy (1994). The author has used his expertise in this field ably. All those concerned with population policies and programmes of the country will benefit from this book. At the same time by providing insights into micro level factors involved in fertility decline, the book also provides ample food for thought to the researchers, NGOs etc. interested in the complex social processes involved in regulating reproduction." --Health for the Millions "The book is helpful in pointing to the role of demographers in the promotion of population control policies." --Radical Journal of Health "The book is about policies and programmes pursued by governments, their effectiveness, and so on. The coverage is quite exhaustive.... Those concerned with policies and programmes will find the book very useful." --Economic and Political Weekly "Starting with interesting anecdotes of population concerns in the preindependence era, K. Srinivasan has tried to make an otherwise terse subject fairly readable, even for those with just a passing interest in demography. He must be given credit for this. . . . The volume scores in presentation of useful data and analysis of India's experience in population control." --Financial Express "Dr. Srinivasan is a demographer of national and international repute who has been actively involved in the formulation of national policies and programs related to population. The book provides a detailed account of the background of the official policies and programs, their working, impact, comparative performance, and shortcomings. . . . The author deserves to be complimented for bringing in one place history, data, methods of analysis, a comprehensive list of programs and policies, and their relative performance. . . . The focus of the volume is timely for the contemporary situation and it will be read and reread by all those who are seriously concerned with the problem. The meticulous editing and slick presentation have further contributed to the book's status. . . . A book worth perusal by population scientists, policymakers, and administrators." --Deccan Herald "A well researched text covering India's family planning programme comprehensively.... An excellent text which should be read by students of population studies and other related disciplines. Faculty and staff working in the Population Research Centres will find it useful as a reference volume." --Social Change Regulating Reproduction in India's Population explores the efforts that have gone into India's family planning program, the results that have been achieved both at the state and national levels, and the implications of successful experiences that might help make the program more effective. Three case studies are presented from Goa, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to illustrate how these states have successfully achieved the transition to low levels of fertility. The author provides a balanced view of the effects of modernization and female literacy on family planning, and makes policy recommendations that might be crucial at this stage of India's demographic transition. His conclusions are based on data collected from censuses and surveys carried out in different parts of the country. This volume also analyzes in detail the levels, trends, and differentials in fertility and contraceptive use, using statistical methods that are easy to understand and explained along sociological principles. With one sixth of the world's population living in India, what happens in the context of India's population growth will strongly influence the global scene as well. A must for researchers and policymakers keen to see fertility in India drop to levels consistent with contemporary populations.
