    PUBLIC POLICY ON POPULATION CONTROL IN POST-INDEPENDENCE INDIA: A CRITICAL STUDY
    (University of Hyderabad, 2007-10) SHALEM RAJU, DARSE ; Prasad, Sheela
    India has the second largest population among countries of the world, the first being China, with only 2.4 per cent of the world's geographical area. India's share of world population is 16per cent. India is adding 17 million people every year, roughly the equivalent of the total popUlation of Australia. According to the latest estimates based on fertility rates, in the world today, India ranks second in population numbers (Communist China tops the list with more than 750 million people) and seventh in land area. (Chandrasekhar., 1977: 246). India is expected to overtake China by 2050, when there would be 1,592 billion Indians to 1,392 billion Chinese. "India's popUlation is very large and is growing very fast. This affects adversely the growth of economy and is highly unfavorable for the growth of output." (Agarwal , 1994:77).

    In the recent past, the reconstruction of history of the medieval Andhra has thrown up various Issues, which need to be addressed In the light of recent developments In historiography The scholars on political history of Andhra mainly concentrated on the major powers In medieval Andhra such as the Kakallyas and the VIJayanagaras The Samantha system, and the feudatory chiefs and the minor prlnclpalilles which also played a prominent role in the political affairs dUring the medieval period In Andhra, did not receive much attention In particular, studies on the SOCIOhlstoncal basis and the antecedent conditions which prOVided opportunilies for the chiefs in medieval Andhra In approprlallng power, are rather meager. In view of the growing interest In recent Indian histOriography on the study of "state formation", an attempt is made here to investigate the role of different chiefs and chieftains and other principalities In the power dynamiCs of medieval Andhra Fortunately, there IS a large body of source materlal,both inscriptional and literary as well as the bulk of Telugu literature that has grown from 11 th century onwards
