When this book was originally published in 1989 here had been virtually no studies of the country’s historical demography. This volume was significant for 3 reasons: it contributed greatly to the knowledge of India’s population history; it had major implications for the work of social and economic historians of India; and lastly the Indian context provides an excellent laboratory in which to investigate certain large-scale demographic phenomena – among others the experience of bubonic plague, influenza, cholera and famine.

Tim Dyson is Emeritus Professor of Population Studies at the LSE. He has been a Fellow of the British Academy since 2001 and in 2015 delivered the keynote address at the United Nations Commission on Population and Development in New York.
