              Why is the distribution of population in India uneven? Explain with five examples. Or What could be the reason of uneven distribution of population in India?  

    Answer:

                      The following examples show why distribution of population in India is uneven (i) Fertility of the soil and availability of water in the Northern Plains and Kerala causes a large number of people to be employed in agriculture. (ii) An undulating terrain and mountainous areas of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Jammu and Kashmir do not provide much scope of a livelihood and so they have a low population density. (iii) An equable climate and reasonable amount of rainfall in most of the coastal states favour people living in such areas. Thus they have a moderate population density. (iv) A harsh climate like the desert of Western Rajasthan deters people from living in such locations, leading to a sparse population there. (v) Development of transport,  industrialization and urbanisation in urban areas increases the population density in such areas.
