Deputy Superintendent of Census Operations. FOREWORD Apart from laying the foundation of demography in this sub-continent, a hundred years of the Indian Census has also produced 'elaborate and scholarly accounts of the variegated phenomena of Indian life-sometimes with no statistics attached, but usually with just enough statistics to give empirical underpinning to their conclusions.' In a country, largely illiterate, where statistical or numerical comprehen­ sion of even such a simple thing as age was liable to be inaccurate, an understanding of the social structure was essential. It \ was more necessary to attain a broad understanding of what was happening around oneself than to wrap oneself up in 'statistical ingenuity' or 'mathematical manipulation'. This explains why the Indian Census came to be interested in 'many by-paths' and 'nearly every branch of scholarship, from anthropology and sociology to geography and religion. ' In the last few decades the Census has increasiD:gly turned its efforts to the presentation of village statistics. This suits the temper of the times as well as our political and economic structure.
