Socio-demographic area of Delhi.
This paper evaluates statistically and displays cartographically previously untabulated and unpublished data from the 1971 Census of India for the entire population of Delhi. Data pertain to Delhis census charges (wards) and were originally tabulated in the form of 348 variables relating to occupational distribution migration and non-worker status--each classified separately by gender. Although these data are subject to multiple reporting errors and fallacious ecological inferences they constitute the largest database yet assembled for comparative analysis of Indian intra-metropolitan patterns and structures. Socio-demographic patterns and areas are identified reflecting the traditional-modern formal-informal familistic and ethnic constituents of the national capital of India. (EXCERPT)
