The Population of India

The Population of India by Brij Narain is a notable work analyzing India's demographic trends during the early 20th century. He examined population growth, its causes, and its socio-economic impacts, especially on agriculture and employment. Narain emphasized the need for population control, better health care, and education to improve living standards. His analysis reflected concern over resource strain and poverty linked to overpopulation. The book remains an early Indian effort to link demography with economic planning and national development.
