This interim summary links the Religion Table, which deals only with Pakistanis with the figure for the total enumerated population of Pakistan. 2 For census purposes an" Afghan Powindah" was defined as a person of Afghan Nationality who had entered Pakistan for the winter months as a member of an organised party. 28: COMPARISON WITH ,P-R:£VI10US CENSUSES The tables in this advance bulletin oL.Census results show the composition of the Pakistan nation according to religions and reflect the changes and movements which have occurrd in recent years. No assessment of the extent of. these movements is possible, however, unless allowanc.es are made for the inaccuracies of the Census figures in 1941 and in lesser degree in 1931 and. 1921., . ,.. " ...... In 1921 the ". Non' Co-operation" movement threat'~i1ed te> boycott the C~!1S:lS ani !lU'y haye caused under-enumeration. The 1911/21 Aecade however included the severe Influenza epIdemic. By 1931 the political disadvantages of under-enumeration had become apparent. The Census Report for that year for the Punjab says, " The p~ople had realized that their political rights depended upon the census figures ... the atmosphere was surcharged with propaganda ...... Attempts were made in some places by the enumerators to swell the figures of their com munity by means of bogus entries or to curtail the strength of a rival community by scoring out persons who were actually present in tl;leir houses on census night. There were also some cases in which the residents of houses returned bogus names with the same motive. Having given the matter my careful consideration, I estimate that the effect of the artificial swelling of figures has resulted in a (net) error representing not more than 1 per cent. of tbe total population."l Similar remarks were made by the Provincial Superintendent of Census for Benga12. In 1941 the Census became a burning political question, especially in Bengal and in the cities of the Punjab. Both the Muslim and the Hindu communities vied in increasing their recorded numbers by multiple enumeration and the inclusion of bogus entries. The serious ness of these organized efforts became apparent during the enumeration period. The Census Superintendent of Bengal wrote, " As a direct result, a spontaneous offer was made proffering the services of all government officers of the rank of deputy and sub-deputy magistrate. This was followed by a second offer of the services of a considerable number of officers of lesser rank. Both these offers were accepted, They were occasioned solely by the widespread apprehension of inflation, and the officers concerned were directed to have an eye on one thing only-malpractices involving a spurious increase or decrease in the census figures of particular communities. District reports speak encouragingly of the deterrant effect exercised by the gazetted officers. It would have been a good thing if they could have been used earlier."3 The Census Commissioner wrote that" The whole population was census conscious, or at any rate the active part of it...... The interest was not all beneficial and in some areas the communal excitement passed all bounds." Instructions were issued, he said, for" Scrutiny and purification ", and he claims that" corruptions were dealt with before the tables were pre pared."4 Such a process must have been difficult and the results cannot but be unreliable. In 1951 the situation has been entirely different. The establishment of independent Gov ernments in Pakistan and India has removed the incentive to inflation, and in fact the present census has been conducted in an atmosphere remarkably free from communal tension. The efforts made in 1941, under the stresses which then existed, to make the census a conscientiolls effort to discover the truth have been repeated with even greater determination, and in the changed circumstances, they met with full public co-operation. In East Bengal a large pro portion of the enumerators and census officers were appointed from the minority community. In studying the growth of populations a pattern is generally observable which gives a clue to the probable truth regarding doubtful figures. The calculated logistic curves, in this sub continent as in many other places, show close approximations to the population recorded in those censuses which have been accepted as accurate. This was demonstrated by a careful ------ 1 Census of India 1931, Vol. XVII (Punjab), p'lge 80. 2 Census of India 1931, Vol. V (Bengal & Sikkim) Pt. I, page 384. 3 Administrative Report of Census in Bengal, 1941. 4 Census of India 1941, Vol I, page 9. 29 scientific investigation in Mr. A. E. Porter's Report on the Census of Bengal in 1931. Curves which fit figures for 1872, 1881, 1891, and 1901 show differences of less than 2% on the figures for 1911, 1921 and 1931 although the 1921 census shows a shortfall and the 1931 census an excess as would be expected from the conditions explained above!. Where therefore the figures of the censuses upto 1911 lie on the same curve as those for 1931 and 1951, the present figures can be assumed to be reasonably accurate, and the extent of any large error in 1941 can be roughly estimated. In the notes which follow a simple comparison has been made between 1951 Census data of each province and the figures of previous Censuses. In the time available, however, it is not possible, in this interim publication, to carry out exhaustive research. That must be left to the full Report on the Census of 1951. For instance, adjustments in respect of the changes in boundaries have been made on broad approximations and the final figures may be found to differ slightly. The differences however are not likely to be of significant size and it is safe to draw general conclusions from the figures which follow. BALUCHISTAN STATEMENT ' A • Total Population.-The VARIATION IN TOTAL POPULATION population of Baluchistan has BALUCHISTAN been reported in previous Baluchistan Districts Balu('histan States censuses at widely differing figures.

NORTH~WEST FRONTIER PROVINCE Total Population.-The Census in the N.-W. F. P. is taken in two parts; the Districts and the States and Agencies. The Districts have been enumerated for several Censuses by the normal procedure applicable to the rest of the country. Statement' L' shows the development of population in the settled Districts as shown in succeeding Censuses. In the States and Agencies a simplified procedure is necessary. In some areas a simple "Tribal" enumeration slip is used for every person; this system was introduced in 1941 and its use has been extended in 1951- In other areas personal enumeration is not yet practical and the census figures are based on estimates made by the local Political Officers. In the 1951 census village-level investigations were conducted as a basis for these estimates. The Defence and protective forces and the personnel in civil government posts were however enumerated everywhere on the normal All-Pakistan slips. These varying methods of taking the census are no doubt the source of the wide variations in the totals of persons enumerated and estimated in the States & Agencies in past censusesj as shown in Statement' M '. 35 STATEMENT'L ' Communal Composition.

The figures given in Statement '0' refer to the districts of the Punjab as constituted at present in Pakistan. They have not however been adjusted in respect of the inclusion of a portion of Kasur Tehsil in India and the inclusion of Shakargarh Tehsil in Pakistan. Previolls census reports do not provide sufficient detail for this calculation to be made without considerable research. However, for the purpose of general comparison these two changes have been treat(.d as compensating for each other.

The increase of Muslims shown in the statement is understated by the extent of the inflation in the 1941 census and the decrease of Hindus is no doubt similarly QV6fstated. The reduction in the" Others " figures is almost et;ltirely due to the migration of the Sikhs and is of course also overstated by the extent of whatever inflation may have QCCurred in the figures for their community in the 1941 census. It is therefore more or less impossible to treat the figures in Statement 'Q' as representing the real change in the communal composition of the population of the Punjab. 38 Bahawalpur State.-The STATEMENT' Q ' population of this State shows COMMUNAL COMPARISON-PUNJAB a rapid growth and the figures in Statement 'R' reveal the effect of the colonization of barren lands as a result of the Sutlej Valley Project, although the figures may contain a certain amount of inflation.
