India's population 1.21 billion

India's population rose to 1.21 billion (121 crores) people over the last 10 years -- an increase of 181 million, according to the new census released on Thursday. Significantly, the population growth is slower for the first time in nine decades.

India, which accounts for world's 17.5 per cent population, comprises 623.7 million males and 586.5 million females, said a provisional 2011 Census report.

China is the most populous nation, accounting for 19.4 per cent of the global population.

The country's headcount is almost equal to the combined population of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan put together, it said.

The population has increased by more than 181 million during the decade between 2001 and 2011, the report said. The growth rate in 2011 is 17.64 per cent in comparison to 21.15 per cent in 2001.

The 2001-2011 period is the first decade -- with the exception of 1911-1921 -- which has actually added lesser population compared to the previous decade, Registrar General of India and Census Commissioner of India C Chandramauli said in presence of Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai.

Among the states and union territories, Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state with 199 million people and Lakshadweep the least populated with 64,429 people.

Also seen in the statistics that Bigger states lost complete control of their population and administration while smaller states are doing a lot better..in a way bigger states are directly or indirectly helping the population tsunami to explode. we need smaller states to effectively control this deadly explosion..wake up government before its too late.
