Population and Environment
Population and Environment Anil Agarwal CONSIDER the bare figures. Between 1901 and 1951, India's population grew from 238 million to 361 million, an increase of about 52 per cent over 50 years. Between 1951 and 1981, it expanded from 361 million to 685 million, a whopping increase of 90 per cent in just 30 years. India literally added a second India in the 35-odd years of its independence.
