According to the Census of India, which year is known as the 'Year of the Big Divide'?1. 19812. 19513. 19474. 1921

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1921

Concept:-

  • The year 1921 is often referred to as the "Year of the Great Partition", the last period in which India's population declined drastically due to the effects of the famine.
  • After 1921, India's population growth remained steady.
  • The year 1921 is known as the demographic split because prior to this year, the population was not stable, sometimes it increased and sometimes decreased.
  • Before 1921 the scale of population growth was generally low. But after this year there has been a considerable and continuous increase in the population.
  • After that, it is growing rapidly. Hence the year 1921 is rightly called the Year of the Demographic Divide or the Great Divide.
