Question

4. Why is 1921 called the year of great divide ?
?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1921 was known as the 'Year of great divide' with regard to population growth in India. Prior to 1921, population was either not growing or growing at a very low rate. The main factor underlying the slow growth rate and decline were the recurrence of epidemics of plague and cholera and of famines.

Answer 2

Answer:

Before 1921, India was in the first stage of demographic transition. The second stage of transition began after 1921. So the year 1921 is described as the "Year of Great Divine".
