INDIA - The population reaches 1.21 billion people

"With 1.21 billion, the population of India is roughly equivalent to the combined populations of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan," says the newspaper the day after publication of preliminary figures on the census. "This means that India has added another Brazil in its population over the past decade, despite a slowdown in population growth." Some 2.5 million civil servants are employed in this census, launched in April 2010.
