Answer:
Here's your answer;
According to the census 1921, 13 million people perished as a result of famines and the epidemic. The famines occurred due to the crop failures of 1918-1919. The crops failed in many parts of India, resulting in deaths of numerous people. The estimates range between 12- 13 million deaths.
Effects: -
a.) Demographic Effects: These famines resulted in a declined growth of population. The decade 1911 - 1921 saw an astonishing (-0.31%) decline in population. This had happened only once in the demographic history of India. Due to this reason, the year 1921 is also known as the 'demographic divide' in the demographic history of India.
b.) Economic Effects: This also resulted in a decline in Annual Average Growth Rate. The Annual Average Growth Rate decreased by (-0.03%).
