Product Description

It was towards the last quarter of the nineteenth century that the phenomenon of census, now a decennial feature of our national life, was introduced at the behest of the British political authority in India. The very first exercise was conducted between the years 1867-1872. This yielded extremely partial and tentative results. Large areas of the country were left out of the survey and even where census was taken, the estimates remained speculative. Enumerators in this early period were new to the task and the questionnaire that they utilized was also limited in many respects. Two subsequent census were conducted in the nineteenth century, in 1881 and 1891. Though the 1881 census tried to rectify some of the errors of its forerunner and included, for the first time, Punjab, Manipur, Haiderabad, the Rajputana States and the Andaman islands, it is not until 1891 that census can be called all India in the true sense.
