India census: population goes up to 1.21bn

They are so heading for the buffers if they keep that up and/or Maoist insurgents gain the upper hand ...

India is (or was) less densly populated than England though, and our population is likely growing faster than theirs.

India (2011 census)
363 people per km^2

England (old census figures, so is likely greatly increased
395 per km^2

I suspect our 2011 census figures won't tell the true scale of our population now anyway. For a start all those ICTers won't be included.

That's an interesting point, although I wonder how evenly spread their population is geographically.

I wonder what a population density map of India would look like.

(That's a hint, in the hope someone can be arsed more than me to search one out.)
