A population history of India : from the first modern people to the present day / Tim Dyson. - First edition. - Oxford, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Oxford University Press, (c)2018. - 1 online resource.
Includes bibliographies and index.
'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 70,000 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 text 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.
