In reality, the distribution of population in India is highly uneven. The uneven density of population in India is clear from the fact that in Arunachal Pradesh the average number of population is only 13 persons per square kilometre, whereas it is 9,294 persons per square kilometre in Delhi as per 2001 census.

Hey,
The distribution of population in India:-
a.Topographic factors: . Like in the Himalayan region, because of hilly region , there is sparse population, whereas in the Ganga plain, due to fertile soil and non hilly land, leads to dense population.
b. Climatic conditions: Extreme climatic conditions like hot regions of Rajasthan or snow covered regions of J&K have unfavourable and harsh climate. Livelihood activities like agriculture and animal rearing cannot be done throughout the year. Thus, these regions have low population.
c. Availability of water and resources also impacts the distribution of population one can give example of Kutch area or Thar desert area in Rajasthan, these areas receive less rainfall .
d. Transportation and other facilities: Areas like North Eastern states are also thinly populated. Lack of adequate road, rail networks in many remote areas of these states have made them sparsely populated, Hilly terrain, heavy fog and thick forest though also contribute to uneven distribution of population in these areas.
e. Industrialization- This is one of the factors for the growing population in urban areas which has compelled people from rural areas to migrate into cities in search for better job and employment opportunities. Many people from backward states like Bihar, Orissa migrate in huge numbers to cities like Delhi,Mumbai etc.
