What to Focus On

  • India has a very high share of world population compared to its small share of world area.
  • China and India are the two most populous countries in the world.
  • Population pressure on land is a major problem in India.
  • 1872 marked the beginning of census taking in India.
  • 1881 was the first complete and synchronous census of the country.
  • India conducts census every ten years.
  • Population distribution is highly uneven across India.
  • Uttar Pradesh has the largest population among states.
  • Five states account for about half of India’s population.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in India by area because it has the largest population.

Population density means total population of a place, so the most populated state is always the most densely populated state.

India has the highest population density among the ten most populous countries because it has a larger density than China.
