Nature and dynamics of population growth of the indian sundarbans: an experience in the 20th century

The mosaic of demographic surface experiences a continuous change over time, if the area is frequented by constant influx of population from outside. The Sundarbans of India is such a region, wherein influx population in different periods settled down, especially in the 20th century. After the independence of India, drastically reduced rate of mortality and slightly reduced birth rate have instigated booming of population of the region. The influx population from the west and East Pakistan added an extra momentum to the population growth due to partition of India in 1947. All these events are continuously modified demographic surface of the region and so likely have widened the gap of demographic relief. The present investigation has been made to unfold nature and dynamics of population growth of the Indian Sundarbans and at the same time it aims to find out the tremendous growth zones of the region.
