India's 2019 population is estimated at 1.37 billion based on the most recent UN data. India, located in South Asia, is bordered by the Bay of Bengal, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean, and is also bordered by the countries of Pakistan, Bhutan, China, Nepal, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Bangladesh. India is the world's 7th largest country by area and the 2nd most populous country with more than 1.3 billion residents.
1 of every 6 people on the planet live in
India, and between the 2001 and 2011 censuses, the country grew by 17.7%,
adding 181.5 million people. The country has doubled in size in just 40 years,
and is expected to unseat China as the world's most populated country in the
next couple of decades. India's current yearly growth rate is 1.08%.
The country as a whole has a population
density of 416 people per square kilometer, which ranks 31st in the world.
In Mumbai, the population density is 21,000 people per square
kilometer(54,000/square mile).
Largest Cities in India
India's largest city is Mumbai, with a population
of 12.5 million, closely followed by Delhi, with a population of over 11
million. Overall, there are more than 50 urban areas in India with a
population of more than one million people.
Mumbai (formerly Bombay) had an official
population of 12,478,447 in 2011, although its wider metropolitan area is much
larger - home to 18,414,288 people. It has more than doubled in size in the
past forty years, although growth has slowed dramatically in the past decade.
During the 1971 census, its population was recorded as 5.9 million.
Delhi, India's second most populous city
was home to 11,034,555 people according to 2011 data, and its metro area
contains 21,753,486 people. Growth in Delhi is even more rapid than Mumbai's,
and it is likely that it will overtake Mumbai to become the largest city in
India within a decade. The city has struggled to keep up with growth. Nearly
half of its residents live in slums, and the city's poverty rate is four
times the national average. Contained within Delhi's boundaries is the city
of New Delhi, an enclave city which is the official capital city of India.
It has a population of 249,998 people.
Other major cities in India
are Bangalore (pop: 8.43 million), Hyderabad (pop: 6.81
million) and Ahmedabad (pop: 5.57 million). There are 53 cities in
India with a population of at least 1 million.
Largest States in India
There are 29 states in India. Their
populations range massively in size – the largest, Uttar Pradesh, holds
almost 200 million people, the smallest, Sikkim, just over half a million.
India's largest state is Uttar Pradesh
which, with a population of 199,581,520 in 2011, is larger than most countries
in the world. If it were a country in its own right, it would be the fifth
largest in the world, falling just behind China, India, the United
States and Indonesia.
Two other Indian states are home to more
than 100 million people - Maharashtra (pop: 112.4 million) and Bihar
(pop: 103.8 million). The smallest state in India is Sikkim (pop: 607,688).
India Demographics
Data on ethnicity is not collected by the
Indian census, although the CIA World Factbook estimates the
population is 72% Indo-Aryan, 25% Dravidian, and 3% Mongoloid and other.
Hinduism is the most common religion
in India, accounting for about 80% of the population. Islam is the
second-largest religion at 13% of the population. Other major religious groups
in India are Christians (2.3%), Sikhs (1.9%), Buddhists (0.8%) and Jains (0.4%).
People who claimed no religion are officially recorded under 'other' by the
census. In 2011, 0.9% of Indians selected the 'No Religion' category.
While the number of Indians living in urban
areas has increased over the last two decades, about 67% of people still live in rural areas. In 2011, India
had a literacy rate of 74%: 82% for men and 65% for women. The literacy rate
varies wildly by state. Bihar is the least literate with a rate of
63.82%.
India Languages
The population of India uses numerous
languages to converse across the county. These languages include English,
Hindi, and Tamil along with many additional tongues and dialects; however, the
former two languages (English and Hindi) are the official languages of the
Indian Government. Additionally, 44% of the population uses Hindi as their mother
tongue.
India Quality of Life
The current ranking of India's quality of
life is 49 out of 66, giving it a quality of
life index of 121.61. The health care ratio is 68.04, and the cost of living
index is 23.81.
India Census Notes
The 2011 census was the second largest the
world has ever seen - second only to China's census the previous year. It took
place in two phases. The first phase, in April 2010, counted all of the
buildings in India, and the second phase collected data about the people of
India.
The census was a massive exercise,
employing millions of Indians. The total cost of the census came to $439
million which was actually considerably cheaper per person than most censuses
held around the world. The average census costs over $4 per person, whereas the
census in India cost just $.50 per person.
The 2011 census was the fifteenth
nationwide census carried out in India. The first was held in 1881,although it was not
able to cover all of the British-held Indian territory. The first comprehensive
nationwide census was carried out under the auspices of Lord Ripon, the British
Viceroy of India at the time, and counted a population of 288 million in 1881.
Since then, a census has been held every ten years in India.
