Question
Analyse any three causes for uneven spatial distribution of population in India.
Solution
- Climate along with terrain and availability of water largely determines the pattern of the population distribution. Consequently, we observe that the North Indian Plains, deltas and Coastal Plains have higher proportion of population than the interior districts of southern and central Indian States, Himalayas, some of the north eastern and the western states.
- Another factor is the expansion of industrialization in a particular area. Urbanisation brought about by industrialization causes an uneven distribution of people in space.
- Because of the early history of human settlement and the development of the transport network in these cities, the population concentration in cities like Banaras, Patna, Kolkata, and Madurai, among others, continues to be high. As a result, India's historic cities have denser populations.
