Description: This compilation from Government Reports and authoritative books provides a comprehensive background to the Muslim demand for Pakistan. It refutes biased claims about Assam's population, citing 1931 Census data showing a Muslim majority when adjusted for tribal and depressed class inclusions. The text includes detailed population breakdowns and a table (Appendix III) on sheep and goat populations across Indian provinces and states, reflecting the 1940 livestock census. The author highlights the geographical and demographic complexity of India, emphasizing the need for factual understanding over manipulated figures, and delayed publication to incorporate Dr. Rajendra Prasad's "Divided India."
