Mapping India: The World's Largest Count
Mapping India, undertaking a census of more than a billion people
Mapping India: The World’s Largest Count charts how the country undertakes a census of more than a billion people — from its origins in the late 19th century to today’s effort to capture population, living conditions, social change and, for the first time in decades, caste.
Researchers, historians, anthropologists and citizens on the ground reveal what this vast national undertaking means for India and the rest of the world.
