NOTE

The question on Religion at the Census of 1961 was worded as follows: Q.5(b) Religion

The instruction to the enumerator on the mode of filling the question was:

For Hindu Muslim Christian Jain Buddhist Sikh

write H write M write C write J write B write S

For others write the answers actually returned.

Separate statistics have been published in this paper on the six numerically important religions of India: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Jainism, Muslims and Sikhism. Other religions

(i)

have been collectively presented under 'Others', The full tables on Religion will be published in Union Table C-VII.

The statement on pages ii-vii shows the growth of the six religions and other religions taken together during 1951-61.

In consequence of the re-organisation of States and Union Territories, certain areas were trans­ferred from one political unit to another for which tabulations by single religions were not made in 1951 or thereafter. The strength of each religion for such areas was therefore esti­mated for 1951 by the ratio and proportion methods. These estimates pertain to areas and populations of which the details will be available in Union Census Report Volume I Part II-A. They are, however, insignificant compared to the actual figures available for 1951.

BRIEF NOTES ON THE SIX NUMERICALLY MAJOR RELIGIONS

Buddhists'

In the whole of India the number of Buddhists went up from 180,823 in 1951 to 3,250,227 in 1961. The population of Buddhists to total population was 0·05 in 1951 and 0·74 in 1961. The decadal percentage increase of Buddhists on 1951 was as much as 1,670'71.

This striking increase has been due in part to the neo-Buddhist movement which swept the country during the decade. The movement seems to have taken in its stride all states and Union

population

Christians

The movement of population among Christians has followed no consistent' pattern. In some States like Gujarat and West Bengal the rate of increase has been low and much below the average for the State, and in some others, there has been absolute decline in numbers from 1951 to 1961-----f.g. in Uttar Pradesh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Goa, Daman and Diu. The high

rates in Assam, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, 'Punjab, Rajasthan, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Laccadive MiniCoy and Amindivi Islands, Manipur, Tripura, Nagaland and Sikkim go with modest or low rates of in­crease of 'Other Religions'. All other States' and Union Territories suggest normal growth.

The States of high growth during 1951-61 are as follows:

Nadia. All thanas have shown high rates of increase.

MaIda. All thanas except the already heavily Muslim populated thana of Kaliachak (which recorded a rise of 25·30 per cent for its Muslim population) show high rates of increase, the highest rate (126· 46) being recorded by the Ratua, Kharba, Harishchandrapur group of thanas.

Purulia. The Muslim population which W:lS

53,238 in 1951 rose by 53 ·13 per cent in 1961. Baghmundi thana registered an absolute dec­line of (-86'03) on the 1951 Muslim popula­tion of 6,673. The thanas of Balarampur, Hura and Punch a together showed a low in­crease of 3·92 per cent. So did Purulia Town with 10·11 per cent. The thanas which have shown high increases belong to two groups. The first group consists of Jhalda and J aipur to the north-west of the district with 172'38 per cent increase on a 1951 pOj)ulation of 8,074. The second group consists of Kashipur and Para to the north-east of the district with 184·55 per cent increase on 1951 population of 5,222.

West Dinajpur. While the than as of Bansi­hari, Kushmandi and Kaliaganj have together shown a decadal increase of 24· 81 per cent and Hemtabad, Raiganj and Itahar of 28·68 per cent, there are two more groups of thanas which have registered 37· 16 and 38·57 per cent res­pectively: (a) Hili, Balurghat and Kumarganj and (b) Tapan and Gangarampur. It is the group of thanas that came from Purnea­Islampur, Karandighi, Chopra and Goal­pokhar-that has shown the highest rate of increase among Muslims: 83'29 per cent.

Jalpaiguri. While other thanas show a fairly high rate of increase of Muslim population of between 32·63 and 38·55 per cent during 1951-61, the than as of Jalpaiguri and Rajganj

together have shown the highest rate of 66·64 per cent.

Darjeeling. The Muslim population of 13,706 in 1951 increased by 40'19 per cent during 1951-61.
