Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada India: Treatment of Dalits by society and authorities; availability of state protection (2016- January 2020) 1. Overview According to sources, the term Dalit means "'broken'" or "'oppressed'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). Sources indicate that this group was formerly referred to as "'untouchables'" (Dalit Solidarity n.d.a; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). They are referred to officially as "Scheduled Castes" (India 13 July 2006, 1; MRG n.d.; Navsarjan Trust n.d.a). The Indian National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) identified that Scheduled Castes are communities that "were suffering from extreme social, educational and economic backwardness arising out of [the] age-old practice of untouchability" (India 13 July 2006, 1). The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) [1] indicates that the list of groups officially recognized as Scheduled Castes, which can be modified by the Parliament, varies from one state to another, and can even vary among districts within a state (CHRI 2018, 15). According to the 2011 Census of India [the most recent census (World Population Review [2019])], the Scheduled Castes represent 16.6 percent of the total Indian population, or 201,378,086 persons, of which 76.4 percent are in rural areas (India 2011). The census further indicates that the Scheduled Castes constitute 18.5 percent of the total rural population, and 12.6 percent of the total urban population in India (India 2011).

  • (2020). India's Search for Link Language and Progress Towards Bilingualism
    WP-2020-015 India's Search for Link Language and Progress towards Bilingualism Leena Bhattacharya, S Chandrasekhar Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, Mumbai April 2020 India's Search for Link Language and Progress towards Bilingualism Leena Bhattacharya, S Chandrasekhar Email(corresponding author): [email protected] Abstract The three language formula (3LF) is viewed as an instrument for achieving the objective of a multilingual India. Possibly on account of lack of agreement on 3LF and politics of medium of instruction, the pace of transition towards bilingualism is glacial. This paper is a quantitative assessment of this transition. We analyse data from Census of India Language Tables for the years 1971, 2001 and 2011 and two recent NSSO surveys on education. We present estimates of probability of two individuals drawn at random being able to converse in a common language and the extent to which today's school going children and the youth are likely to be bilingual respectively. Keywords: Bilingual, Trilingual, Link Language, India, Three Language Formula JEL Code: Z1, Z13 Acknowledgements: This paper benefitted from comments received from participants at the Conference on Political Economy of Migration organized by Pune International Centre on December 13-14, 2019. We are grateful to Jayant Kumar Banthia and Ram B Bhagat for useful conversations on the subject and to B.K.Bhoi for detailed comments on earlier drafts.

According to 2011 census, the population stood at 1210 million. India covers about 2.4% of the world ‘s surface area and sustains 17.5% of the world population, thus means every six persons in the world is an Indian. According to the census, 2011 there are 623 million males and 586 million females and the overall sex ratio of the Indian population is 943 females per 1000 males (Office of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner, India 2011). Conventionally, the sex ratio in India is measured as the number of females per 1000 males, and the sex ratio at birth is measured as the number of male births per 100 female births. The sex ratio has increased by 10 point from the previous decade, one of the highest since 1971. Although there has been an increase in the overall sex ratio in India, but the decline in child sex ratio (0-4-year age group) is alarming.

Nanda ** India recently completed its latest population census. Jacques Véron and Aswini K. Nanda explain how this vast and complex operation was organized in a country totalling more than a billion inhabitants. They also examine the initial census findings, published barely one month after field enumeration activities were completed – a remarkable feat. With a population that may increase by a further 500 million over the next half century, India will face enormous challenges in years to come. ccording to the first – and still provisional – results Figure - Population growth in India, 1901-2011 Aof the population census conducted in February, India had 1,210,193,422 inhabitants on 1 March 2011 (Boxes Millions of inhabitants 1,400 1 and 2). Despite a slowdown in the annual grouth rate (1.64% on average between 2001 and 2011, compared with 1.97% in the previous decade), the absolute population 1,200 increase over these two intercensal periods – 182 million between 1991 and 2001, 181 million between 2001 and 2011 1,000 – was practically identical.

Out of 30 questions that are asked the pivotal query is that of the age and the sex. Both these data have certain crucial demographic, an economic and social angle which helps to build future policies and alleviating any concern. However, the available age information procured through census operation shows age heaping around the digits of “0” and “5”, which seems to be declining with age. Besides, the data also have a gendered perspective on the question of age heaping. Owing to such misleading information future policy prescriptions stand questioned. This descriptive study is a step forward towards resolving the lacunae by estimating the magnitude of age heaping in every state of India, secured with the help of Whipple’s Index. In addition, the study relates the accuracy of age reporting to characteristics of literacy, urban population, and level of birth registration.
