Abstract

Literacy is one of the qualitative aspects of human life and it mirrors the level of development of a country. The Indian Census follows the commonly applied defmition of literacy as an ability to read and write with understanding. Although literacy is not the same as education, it is nevertheless the first indispensable step towards it (Saini, 1975). As such, literacy rate itself is a good indicator of the socio-economic progress of a country as also of a religious group. The present paper attempts to review literacy pattern of major religious groups like Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian and Jain. The paper also review on the gender gap in literacy in these religious groups in India.

Population growth rates vary a lot over time and space, and are determined by rates of birth and death and migratory flows, all of which in turn depend on numerous socio-economic factors interacting in different ways, never easy to identify and quantify (Krishnaji and James, 2005). Although, population growth is a simple function of fertility, mortality and migration but in the case of population growth of a religious group, conversion can also play an important role. The current paper reviews the population growth of major religious groups Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Christian, Bodh and Jain.
