Volume : I, Issue : II, March - 2011 An Assessment Of Malthusian Theory of Population In Indian Scenario M. Maria John Kennedy & V. Veluchamy DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Agriculture is the heart of Indian
economy. Indian agriculture had a glorious period
much before colonisation of Indian economy by
the British. At that time there was a proper balance
between agriculture and industry and both
flourished hand in hand. This situation continued
till the middle of the 18th century. The interference
from the alien British government and its
deliberate policy of throttling the village
handicraft and cottage industries destroyed the
fiber of balance and the economy of the country
was badly shattered. British pursued a typical
colonial policy in India and did nothing to develop
agriculture. Though things have changed
considerably, thanks to Green Revolution, the
emerging trends in the growth of population and
the stagnant agricultural production in the
backdrop of high food inflation provides a
formidable challenge to policy makers and
economists. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : M. Maria John Kennedy & V. Veluchamy, (2011). An Assessment Of Malthusian Theory of Population In Indian Scenario.
