Religion in India is characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices. India is officially a secular country and has no state religion. The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions; namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. According to the 2011 census, 79.8% of the population of India practices Hinduism, 14.2% adheres to Islam, 2.3% adheres to Christianity, 1.7% adheres to Sikhism, and 0.7% adheres to Buddhism. Zoroastrianism, Sanamahism and Judaism also have an ancient history in India, and each has several thousands of Indian adherents. India has the largest population of people adhering to Zoroastrianism (i.e. Parsis and Iranis) and Bahá'í Faith in the world,[1] even though these religions initially grew in Persia. Throughout India's history, religion has been an important part of the country's culture. Religious diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by the law and custom; the Constitution of India has declared the right to freedom of religion to be a fundamental right.

Sociologists view on markets

1. Markets are social institutions that are constructed in culturally specific ways. For example, markets are often controlled or organised by particular social groups or classes, and have specific connections to other institutions, social processes and structures.
2. Sociologists often express this idea by saying that economies are socially ‘embedded’.

The age structure of a population is the distribution of people among various ages. It is a useful tool for social scientists, public health and health care experts, policy analysts, and policy-makers because it illustrates population trends like rates of births and deaths. These are important to understand because they have a host of social and economic implications in society, like understanding the resources that must be allocated for childcare, schooling, and healthcare, and the familial and greater social implications of whether there are more children or elderly in society. In graphic form, age structure is portrayed as an age pyramid that shows the youngest age cohort at the bottom, with each additional layer showing the next oldest cohort. Typically males are indicated on the left and females on the right, like that pictured above.​

structural change is a shift or change in the basic ways a market or economy functions or operates.

The Malthusian Theory of Population is the theory of exponential population growth and arithmetic food supply growth. The theory was proposed by Thomas Robert Malthus. He believed that a balance between population growth and food supply can be established through preventive and positive checks.

Yes, India is indeed facing a window of opportunity created by demographic dividend but India's market does not ensure such strategies. India is supposed to be benefitting from 'demographic dividend' as it -
-reduced birth rate,
-reduced the infant mortality rate,
-reduced crude death rate etc.
But, these strategies would be implemented when potential efforts made to achieve goals.

Reasons for the setback of the Family planning programme during Emergency:
(i) Introduction of a coercive programme of mass sterilization.
(ii) A vast number of mostly poor and powerless people were forcibly sterilized. Sterilization refers to medical procedures like a vasectomy for men and tubectomy for women which prevent conception and childbirth.
(iii) There was massive pressure on lower level government officials( school teachers or office workers) to bring people for sterilization in the family planning camps; that were organized specially for this purpose.
(iv) However, There was widespread popular opposition to the programme. Ultimately, this programme was abandoned by the new government elected after the Emergency.

The following arguments justify the given statement
(i) Since 1981, the growth rate started declining.
(ii) During this period, birth rates declined rapidly.
(iii) Still 182 million people were added in the 1990s.
(iv) When low annual rate is applied to a very large population, it yields a large absolute increase.
(v) When more than a billion people increase even at a lower rate, the total number being added becomes very huge.
Thus, it can be concluded that despite the declining trend of growth rate, the population of India is increasing at fast rate.

Literacy as a prerequisite to education is an instrument of empowerment. The more literate the population the greater the consciousness of career options, as well as participation in the knowledge economy.
Further, literacy can lead to health awareness and fuller participation in the cultural and economic well being of the community. Enormous effort is needed to ensure the literacy of the new generations – which are only just beginning. Literacy levels have improved considerably after independence and almost 2/3 of population is now literate in India.
Literacy varies considerably across regions and across social groups. Literacy rate also varies by social group-historically disadvantaged communities like the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have lower rates of literacy and rates of female literacy within these groups are even lower. The power of literacy is its ability to inspire independent thinking, make wise choices and foster critical analysis.
