Q. Year 1921 is known as a year of “Great Divide” in the demographic history of India. After that in which decade there was a slight dip in the rate of decadal population growth in India?
Answer: 1941-51
Notes: The correct answer is 1941-51. The decade following 1921 marked a important demographic shift in India, with the population growth rate declining during 1941-51 due to the impact of World War II, famine, and the partition of India in 1947, which caused mass displacement and loss of life. This period is notable for its demographic challenges, contrasting with the rapid growth seen in subsequent decades.
