Demography of India
Demography of India INDIA IS A COUNTRY of great diversity with a wide range of landform types, including major mountain ranges, deserts, rich agricultural plains, and hilly jungle regions. Indeed, the term Indian subcontinent aptly describes the enormous extent of the earth's surface that India occupies, and any attempt to generalize about its physiography is inaccurate. Diversity is also evident in the geographical distribution of India's ethnic and linguistic groups. In ancient times, the major river valleys of the Indo-Gangetic Plain of South Asia were among the great cradles of civilization in Asia, as were the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in West Asia and the Huang He (Yellow River) in East Asia. As a result of thousands of years of cultural and political expansion and amalgamation, contemporary India has come to include many different natural and cultural regions. The Himalayas (and the nations of Nepal and Bhutan) form India's northern frontier with China. Pakistan borders India to the west and Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) to the east. Although both were formerly part of the British Indian Empire, India and Pakistan became separate countries in 1947 and East Pakistan became independent Bangladesh in 1971. The boundaries of the Indian polity are not fully demarcated because of regional ethnic and political disputes and are the source of occasional tensions. When the 1991 national census was taken, India's population was approximately 846.3 million. The annual population growth rate from 1981 to 1991 was 2 percent. Accounting for only 2.4 percent of the world's landmass, India is home to 16 percent of the world's population. Every sixth person in the world in the early 1990s was an Indian. It is generally assumed that India's population will surpass the 1 billion mark some time before the next census in 2001. In July 1995, the population was estimated at 936.5 million.

    Indo-Gangetic Plain
    In social and economic terms, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is the most important region of India. The plain is a great alluvial crescent stretching from the Indus River system in Pakistan to the Punjab Plain (in both Pakistan and India) and the Haryana Plain to the delta of the Ganga (or Ganges) in Bangladesh (where it is called the Padma). Topographically the plain is homogeneous, with only floodplain bluffs and other related features of river erosion and changes in river channels forming important natural features. Two narrow terrain belts, collectively known as the Terai, constitute the northern boundary of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Where the foothills of the Himalayas encounter the plain, small hills known locally as ghar Some geographers subdivide the Indo-Gangetic Plain into three parts: the Indus Valley (mostly in Pakistan), the Punjab (divided between India and Pakistan) and Haryana plains, and the middle and lower Ganga. These regional distinctions are based primarily on the availability of water. By another definition, the Indo-Gangetic Plain is divided into two drainage basins by the Delhi Ridge; the western part consists of the Punjab Plain and the Haryana Plain, and the eastern part consists of the Ganga-Brahmaputra drainage systems. This divide is only 300 meters above sea level, contributing to the perception that the Indo-Gangetic Plain appears to be continuous between the two drainage basins. The Punjab Plain is centered in the land between five rivers: the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi, the Beas, and the Sutlej. (The name

The Indo-Gangetic Plain and those portions of the Himalayas within India are collectively known as North India. South India consists of the peninsular region, often termed simply the Peninsula. On the basis of its physiography, India is divided into ten regions: the Indo-Gangetic Plain, the northern mountains of the Himalayas, the Central Highlands, the Deccan or Peninsular Plateau, the East Coast (Coromandel Coast in the south), the West Coast (Konkan, Kankara, and Malabar coasts), the Great Indian Desert (a geographic feature known as the Thar Desert in Pakistan) and the Rann of Kutch, the valley of the Brahmaputra in Assam, the northeastern hill ranges surrounding the Assam Valley, and the islands of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal.

    Geography and Topography The Geography in the Indus River Valley was very good for farming. The good soil was provided from the irrigation canals which brought water to the farms. The fertileness of the land also led to a very big risk of diseases. Their soil was also good for farming because the Indus River floods yearly. The area of the land in India is 1,269,345 sq. miles, and the Indus River is about 1,800 miles long. The mountains that are around the Indus Valley are some of the biggest in the world.
    The Indus River Valley's river is what the people depended upon very much, along with other things, such as the Asian monsoons.
    All of these things make the Indus Valley stand out even more from the other civilizations. The elevation of India's highest was mountain level, 25,645 feet, and the lowest was sea level. The temperature ranged from thirty-two degrees F to one-hundred degrees F. The rainfall was between five and twenty inches.

    Photo: Liz Clayton/Oxfam Because India is so large, if you were to travel across it, you would see a great many changes in the landscape: flat plains; high mountains which form part of the Himalayan mountain range; and baking hot deserts. Like the countryside, the climate in India varies a great deal from place to place. Most of the country lies in the tropics, and so stays warm throughout the year, but it is cold in the Himalayas, where snow is found on the mountain tops all year round. In many parts of India there is a rainy season between June and September, known as the Monsoon (meaning seasonal wind). The Monsoon brings very heavy rain, and in some areas flooding. However, sometimes the rain fails to arrive, causing problems across the countryside, with crops failing and land becoming very dry. Drought can be as terrible a problem as floods.

    India - Geography
    By Ekaterina Zhdanova-Redman India is a beautiful and interesting country in southern Asia. Throughout history, many people have traveled thousands of miles to visit India. Many people have also written books about the people, plants, and animals of India. One of the most famous of these writers was a man named Rudyard Kipling. He wrote a story about a little Indian boy named Mowgli.
    You may have already heard Mowgli's story. The book is called "The Jungle Book." Mowgli was raised by wolves and was taught the ways of life by different jungle animals. Mowgli found friends in a bear named Baloo and a black panther named Bagheera.
    The animals in "The Jungle Book" are very common in India. Lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, monkeys and elephants can be found in India's many jungles. Elephants have been especially important to Indians.

In length 360 miles, the state is only 20 to 70 miles in width and comprises 1 percent of India's total land. Most of its 30 million people live along a narrow strip of flat land adjacent to the Arabian and Lakshwadeep Seas to the west. To the east the land rises to form the scenic

The climate ranges from hot and humid in the coastal lowlands (80 degrees-90 degrees), to mild with cooler evenings in the hills. Yet every year, in the late spring and again in the fall, rain-bearing monsoons sweep the land, in some areas leaving some 200 inches of rain. Though densely occupied, Kerala is one of India's most beautiful of India's 28 states. It is also one of the most culturally interesting places in the world
