PREFACE

This Census report for the Province of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State is one of the series of volumes in which the results of the 1951 Census of Pakistan are recorded. Underlying all the work and effort by which these figures have been produced, has been the over-whelming need for the rapid supply of information regarding the new nation. But this sense of urgency has had to contend with the great difficulty of organizing the enumeration and the subsequent abstraction of the results at a time when the administrative structure of Government was itself in the formative stages. Most strenuous efforts devoted by officers, however met the demand for data despite the slender resources, and the more essential figures were made available with remarkable speed by the issue of four Interim Bulletins. the first .')f which gave the provincial results of the Census within six weeks of the Enumeration. In addition, a District Village list has been published giving the name, population and many local details of every village.

This report now gathers together all the final details of the 1951 Census of the Provinces of Punjab and the State of Bahawalpur. It is arranged in two parts. ?art besides giving a brief description of the historical and geographical background of the Province, explains .the definitions and methods used in the collection and compilation of the Census data, provides certain comparisons with past figures, and gives some of the local details required in order to understand the differences between the figures for various parts of the Province. Part II contains the regular series of statistical tables in. which the detailed results of the Census are presented. It is strongly urged that before using or drawing conclusions from the data in Part II, the definitions and explanations in Part I should be taken into account. It is proposed to issue a further volume, which will be No."7 in the series, in which certain of the economic tables for all Provinces of West Pakistan will be presented in greater geographical and qualitative detail.

The-lack of statistical detail regarding Pakistan and especially for the newly partitioned Province of the Punjab made it imperative to adhere to the traditional Census data in February 1951 despite the undesirability of organizing such an operation without long preparation. All existing information had been rendered obsolete by the two~way flow of migration reSUlting from Partition. In addition, the tig'ures for 1941 Census naturally did not apply to the new areas in the divided distf.~~s. Moreover, they had not been tabulated in full owing to the war, and thei{ accuracy had been prejudiced by the efforts of the different communities to inflate their figures for pOlitical purposes. The figures for 1931 Census were more accurate but were badly out of date. These considerations were not only reasons

(i)

(ii) PREFACE

for a speedy Cens us but should be borne in mind when making comparisons of 1951 data with previous figures and in particular with such 1941 figures as are available. which should be used with due caution.

Nevertheless despite the hurried organisation of the enume.ation, the Provincial Superintendent of Census feels tbat the figures for the 1951 Census are reasonably accurate as regards the tobl population of the various areas, and this opinion is fortified by the fact that the preliminary House-listing enquiry conducted three or four months before the Census itself, gave figures very close indeed to tbose which were attained by the final count, In fact the enumeration itself was rather more complete, but the difference is small. Accuracy in a Census, however, is a relative matter and the same standard of accuracy cannot obviously apply to all the detailed statistics. One must allow for doubts and uncertainties in the minds of the public and this is particularly true in the case of illiterate persons in regard to age and the exact description of occupations. The sorting and tabulation work which was largely done by the traditional hand methods was most carefuliy checked, but here again the possibility of misclassification cannot be en tirely ruled out. These considerations have led to a departure from previous policy in the matter of presenting the Age data. In 1931 the age figures suffered from the usual trouble but the S-years Age-groups were adjusted arithmetically in order to smooth out the worst inequalities. In 1951 this was considered undesirable. The enumerators themselves had recorded most of the ages to the nearest 5 years, but an analysis disclosed that even then there was obvious heaping in certain groups. Had the data been presented in this report in full detail, there would have been very grave danger of figures being used hurriedly to draw conclusions of administrative importance without giving due consideration to their relative reliability. The age figures are therefore presented only in broad groups which appe;;rr to be reasonably reliable. The full tabulation in 5-year groups has been preserved and copies can be made available to students and statisticians on application to the Government of Pakistan but should only be used under expert advice and with caution,

The scope of the 1951 Census of pakistan covered more or less the same ground as previous Censuses of India except tha t the detailed analysis by Caste and Race ceased to be necessary and tribes were not recorded except in spedal areas. The enquiries regarding language, literacy, education and Economic activities were carried into greater detail. A translation of the enumerators questionnaire and instructionsheet is inserted in the back-cover of this volume together w!th a copy of the Enumeration sUp on which the answers were recorded. Some of the enquiries included in the questionnaire have proved unsuccessful and in particular the data ~~I .Unemployment and Fertility. But these innovations were worth makinr~ an:.t wilt probably result, provided the questions and procedures are re-designed in the:'iight of our present experience, in the production of more reliable data on these subjects of the next Census. In this Census no question was asked regarding. physical or mental handicaps as experience had shown the practical impossibility of supplying definitions regarding the degree of infirmity.- An enquiry into cattle resources and

PREFACE (iii)

land utilization was originally suggested for inclusion in the population Census There is a great deal to be said for collecting such information while the enumerators are recording the other data of the rural population. but in view of the short time for organization and the complex nature of such an enquiry, which would necessitate for more elaborate instruction of enumerators, nothing of this kind could be done in 1951. An enquiry into Cottage Industries was, however, included as a part of the home-listing survey. It was not completed fully everywhere but the results may be useful as for as they go.

The work of abstracting the statistical data from the millions of slips has been a tremendous undertaking which strained our resources in all directions. Traditional hand-sorting methods were largely used and the original enumeration slips were found quite suitable for this purpose. The recruitment and training of a large temporary staff of sufficient education presented considerable problems. Owing to the departure of many Hindu clerks good clerical workers were at a premium and very few persons of suitable ability were willing to take up this arduous temporary work. Standards of skill and accuracy were only achieved by patience and careful supervision. I fell the greatest credit is due to the officers and supervisors who dealt with the work of sorting, compilation and tabulation but it is of course impossible in the circumstances to claim complete accuracy. Power-Samas punched-card machinery was used for sorting the data of non-Agricultural workers and the Cottage Industry returns. This work was completely strange to all hands and it would undoubtedly have been simpler to allow hand-sorting methods to persist even in this complicated sphere. But I am sure the results would have been co"mpletely unreliable. The use of punched card machinery enabled the classifications to bi.! checked in detail and provided cwss-tabulations which would have been quite impossible by hand. This first attempt to modernize the abstraction stage of the Census is an essential innovation and should lead to far batter result in the future.

The Chapters of part I of the Report are the result of much thought and analytical work by Mr. Mahmood and his staff none of whom makes any claim to be a statistician. I have given editorial guidance but the work is mainly theirs, and is particularly valuable as an appreciation of the contents a'1d meaning of the data by men who know how the figures were obtained and can view them in the light of an intimate knowledge of the provinces. But the tables and the report will, I hope, provide a basis for much further study and research.

I take this opportunity of putting on record my favourable opInIOn of the spirit of cooperation extended to the Census work by Government officials of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. On the whole the public themselves also displayed a helpful attitude. I imagine that a Census can never be the subject of general popular enthusiasm but the enumerators were generally given no trouble. The cooperation of the press and Radio pakistan was particularly valuable in this respect.

Nearly all the enumerators and other Census officers were Government officials to whom the Census was an extra and unpaid job in a busy life. Nevertheless

(iv) PREFACE

there was an obvious desire to obtain a complete enumeration. Great credit is due to Mr. M. H. Mahmood for his energy and organizing ability in carrying the enumeration work through satisfactorily despite the shortage of time and the disastrous floods which paralysed part of the province at a most critical period. He has been very ably helped in the abstraction and tabulation work by Sheikh Mohammad Sharif. I myself am deeply grateful for the patience and kindness which was extended to me on my many tours of instruction and inspection in the Punjab.

Introduction.

1. Preface.- Pakistan came into

being on the 15th August, 1947, as a

result of the partition of India. The last Census in the Indo-Pakistan Sub

continent had been taken in 1941 so the

Census taken in 1951, to which this

Report relates, is the first Census of Pakistan. At the time of the Partition, besides some territorial changes, there was mass movement of population in the area covered by this Report and hence the presentation of a comparative analYlis, wherein the chief value of census data lies, has been difficult in some cases and impossible in others. However I have attempted to make the best possible

use of the da ta collected at this Census and trust that it will be of some interest to the students of demography. Let me

disarm my critics (if any) by confessing that I do not claim to be a demographic expert or a statistician and if therefore

this Report falls short of their expectations I crave their indulgence. I have mostly confined myself to stating the facts as brought out by the data collected

at the Census and where I have hazarded an opinion it is fortified by my local

knowledge of the territory to which the Report relates. I have also done my

best to be brief (as indeed one should be in a Report of this nature) but not at the expense of clarity, I may add,

2. Contents of Report.-The first two Chapters of this Report are descriptive.

It was felt that since this was the first

Census Report after the change in the

political status of the Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent, it would be as well to give a brief geographical and historical survey of the country. Chapters 3 to 9 relate to Movement and Distribution of Popula

tion; Urban and Rural Population; Birthplace; Age, Sex and Marital Status; Literacy and Education; Languages; and

Economic Activities, in the order stated.

They are self-explanatory and call for no special comments here.

Arrangements for this Census.-The administrative arrangements for this Census are given in extenso in the Administrative Report which may be published separately. But as that Report

is meant for official use only lowe it to

the Reader to describe the arrangements briefly in order to enable him to assess the value of the data presented in Chapters

3 to 9 and the Tables published in Part II of this Report.

4. Administrative Organisation.-Census is a Central subject, that is to say,

that under the Constitution Act the taking of a census is the responsibility

o,f the Central Government. The first visible sign of this Census was the passage

2 INTRO DUCTION

of the Census Act, Act VII of 1950, by the Central Legislature. This was foJlowed by the selection of the supervisory staff required for the Central

Census Office at Karachi and for the Provincial Census Offices. I joined as tl;le Provincial Superintendent of Census punjab and, Bahawalpur State, on the 11th

May, 1950, and immediately started to organise my office. The Census Commissioner, Pakistan, assumed office in June 1950 and soon after convened a conference at Karachi which was attended by the provincial Superintendents of <:;ensus. All important matters concerning the pre-enumeration stage of this Census were settled at that conference and the Census Commissioner drew up inter alia a Census Calendar, which showed the vital dates for the completion of the various crucial stages of the preparations for enumeration. As the organisation of the Census arrangements

had made a belated start, the acceleration of some of the stages included in the Census Calendar was inevitable. After setting up my office I took up the organisation of the Census arrangements in the districts according to the decisions taken at the Conference. The district census establishment was to be under the charge of the Sub-Divisional Officers and Revenue Assistants in the Punjab

except in the Biloch Trans-Frontier Tract in the Dera Ghazi Khan District, where the Political Assistant to the Deputy Commissioner was to supervise the

arrangements. In the Bahawalpur State the Assistant Commissioners, Bahawalpur, Bhawalnagar. Rahimyarkhan and Ahmad

pur East, had to function as the District

Census Officers in thei r respective

jurisdictions. A provincial conference of the District Census Officers was convened in July 1950 at which the details of the Census Plan were explained by me. It was stressed that the programme set out in the Census Calendar ~hould be followed rigidly; all the more so because the organisation of the arrangements,

which had made a late start, brooked no. further delay.

5. Village and Town Registers CeDsus Areas and Census Officers.- The preparation of the General Village and Town Registers was started by the District Census Officers at once. These registers showed the names of villages, wards, or other well defined (and locally recognised) areas, the approximate number

of houses in each area, the number of blocks and circles proposed for each

area together with the charge in which

it could be included and the names of literate persons, who could suitably be

appointed as Enumerators and Super

visors. As in the past censuses, the

classification of ceo sus areas adopted for this Census was Block, Circle and Charge, and the officers in charge of these areas were called Enumerators, Supervisors and Charge Superintendents, respectively. The delimitation of the census areas and the appointment of the Census Officers

was then taken up by the District Census

Officers. The number of Blocks, Circles

and Charges respectively was 50,880"

7,488 and 758 in the Punjab and 3,829, 525 and 79 in the Bahawalpur State. A separate Census Officer was appointed for each of these Census areas except in

INTRODUCTION 3

sume big blocks where Assistant Enumerators were also appointed.

House Numbering and Listing.After the delimitation of the Census areas and the appointment of the Census officers the next important stage in the preparations for enumeration was that of house numbring and listing. Each enumerator compiled his house-li~t as he went round his block numbering the houses and other structures. The houselists showed the number of normal residents in each commensal family, the number of rooms per house and other such particulars. In order to facilitate reference t6 the Census areas a Location Code consisting of four elements was introduced. The first element was the number of the Census District which was allotted by me; the second element was the number of the Charge allocated by the District Census Officer, while the third and fourth elements, which were furnished by the Charge Superintendents, signified the Circle and Block respectively. Each enumerator had to know all four elements of his block well as these had to be indicated on each Enumeration Slip completed during the enumeration.

7; Enumeration Slip and Instruction of Enumerators.-The Census Commissioner drew up a set of questions to be asked at the time of the enumeration, called ·'the Enumeration Slip", and the explanations to those questions and the manner of recording the respondents' answers thereto, called "the Instructions for Enumerators." A facsimile of the Enumeration Slip with a copy of the

Instructions for Enumerators will be found in Appendix 'A' to this Report. In order to ensure that the enumerators filled in the enumeration slips correctly at the time of the enumeration, instructional classes were arranged in aU Census Districts in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. Many charge Superintendents personally conducted these classes at which practical demonstrations of filling the enumeration slips were held and the enumerators encouraged to ask questions to clear the doubts in their minds. Practice enumeration slips to be used at the classes had been supplied to the Charge Superintendents. It was necessary of all enumerators to attend the instructional classes.

8. Publicity and Instruction to Public.-Tbe success of any Census without the whole-hearted cooperation of the public is inconceivable. In order to invoke the assistance of the public adequate publicity was given to this Census at all stages. The local Press and the Radio Pakistan, Lahore, willingly helped in the accomplishment of the big task of making the public census-minded. Publicity was given to the Census also by special Census Posters which indicated the importance of a Census to the State and the duties and responsibilities of the Public in connection therewith. It would be futile to claim perfection in the matter of Public cooperation with this Census; nevertheless the foregoing steps proved fairly efficacious.

9. Enumeration.-The distribution of the Enumeration Slips and Instruc-

4 INTRODUCTION

tions for Enumerators for use at the time of the enumeration was arranged by the Census Commissioner's office through the Charge Superintendents on the basis of the indents furnished by the District Census Officers. To meet the unforeseen shortages of the Enumeration Slips adequate reserves of the Enumeration Slip pads were kept with the Charge Superintendents, District Census Officers and the Provincial Superintendent of Census. The enumeration start.ed punctually on the 9th February, 1951, and continued upto the end of that month. The final check round the blocks and the enumeration of the floating population took place on the night between the 28th February and 1st March. On the whole, the enumeration proceeded satisfactorily though some difficulty was experienced in urban areas, particularly in cities and big towns.

10. Provisional Census Results.According to the instructions contained in Section 10 of the Code of Census Procedure, Part II, the District Census Officers bad to submit District Reports (called "Distreps") based on the provisional figures of the enumerated population furnish ad by the enumerators through the Charge Superintendents. The Distreps were fully received and the information contained therein was communicated to the Census Commissioner on the 14th March, 1951. The provisional figures were published on the 12th April thai year under a coordinated plan prepared by the Census Commissioner. The population of the Punjab and BahawaIpur State on the basis of the provisional

figures was 206,34 thousands as against 206,51 thousands in the final counting. The difference works out to '08 per cent which is negligible considering the speed with which the provisionnl figures were prepared.

11. Sorting.-Soon after the completion of the enumeration at the end of February, 1951, I started making arrangements for the sorting of the Census Slips. Two Hand Sorting Centres were opened for the purpose at Lahore and Rawalpindi and each District Census Officer was directed to transfer his enumeration slips to the Centre at whicn they were to be sorted. With the object of ensuring statistical uniformity of the Census results throughout pakistan, the Census Commissioner issued instructions from time to time pertaining to the Sorting operations. The work was started at both the Centres towards the end of April, 1951, and carried out in five Phases for which Sorters Tickets were specially designed by the Census Commissioner. Phase One was conducted in three parts, namely the Block Sort, the Circle Sort and the Children's Sort. The Block Sort. classified all slips by sexes and separated the Muhajir slips .. The Circle Sort ~lassified the slips by Nationality, Birthplace, Mother Tongue and Religion, making use of the model principle. The Children's Sort dealt with all the remaining characteristics of persons under 12 years of &ge. Phase Two dealt with the slips of literate persons only classifying to them according literacy and education. Phase Three classified all the slips according to occu ..

INTRODUCTION s

pations and economic status and segregated the slips of the Non-Agricultural Labour Force and Defence Services which had to be sent to the Machine Centre, Karachi Phase Four classified the slips according to age groups and further analysed them for Marital Status, .Speech and extent of Schooling and Literacy. Phase Five extracted the data cegarding Fertility, Birth and Infant Deaths from the slips of all women who had ever been married. Special care was -taken at all stages to prepare the Sorters' Tickets accurately and checks and tests were applied continuously to verify the accuracy of the band sorting operations, which were completed by the middle of December, 1951. The use of the original slips as the sorting media being modern and scientific it was possible to. produce more accurate result in a compratively lessertime. The slips of the Non-Agricul tural Labour Force and Defence Services were sorted in the Machine Sorting Centre, Karachi from where the final data was received in the third week of May, 1953.

12. Compilation and Tabulation.A compilation Section was attached to the Provincial Census Office for compilation and tabulation. The work' was generally done according to the plan prepared by the Census Commissioner as embodied in Part III of the Code of Census" Procedure and supplemented from lime to time by Census Commissioner's Circulars. At the initial stage the Com .. pilers were detailed to work in the Hand Sorting Centres in order to grasp the technicalities of hand sorting. By the J;lliddle of June 1951, when the Block Sort

was sufficiently advanced, they started checking the Circle Abstracts and Charge Summaries prepared by the Enumerators and carried out the necessary corrections. The compilation of the working sheets for the various Tables was taken up at both the Hand Sorting Centres simul~

taneously in July 1951, and Table 6-Religion was the first one to be compiled. The remaining Tables ware finalised in the Provincial Census Office and according to the programme outlined by. the Census Commissioner the whole job was finally completed by the end of June, 1953. A brief description of each Table is given in the Title Sheets published in Part II of this Report. The opportunity afforded by the Census was also availed of for compiling Village Lists· for each district of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. These lists show the more import~ ant particulars about every village, such as, area population, number of houses and local details.

The first Census of Pakistan also saw the introduction of mechanical aids in the form of Plus Adding Machines and Calculating Machines. The former were mostly employed for checking the totals while the latter were of immem.e help in the calculation of percentages and densities. The introduction of these mechanical aids proved both useful and economical in that while ensuring accuracy it accelerated the disposal of work.

13. Commendations and AcknowJedgments.-I cannot conclude this Report without acknowledging the assistance

6 INTR(J)/JUCTION

which I received from the non-official and official sources in taking this Census. At the very outset I must thank the publie for its cooperation with the Census staff during the enumeration stage. An enumerator's job is essentially one of prying into the affairs of the persons he enumerates and, unless the latter rise above the instinctive dislike for prying by comparative strangers, no amount of care and trouble in laying out census arrangements can possibly lead to good results. I am glad to note that the public gave full support to the Ceusus staff in this respect and consequently the progress of the operations was unhampered. The press and Radio Pakistan, Lahore, made no mean contribution in educating the public about its duties and responsibilities to the Census and I take tbis opportunity to thank them for the help which they rendered me most willingly and readily. I must, also commend the untiring efforts of that vast army of honorary workers (which included Presidents and members of local bodies, businessmen, Prefessors and students of colleges, and others) who acted as Enumerators, Supervisors and Charge Superintendents. Tbey discharged their onerous. and strenuous duties unflinchingly and even if there were some instances of slipshod output of work a good standard of efficiency was generally maintained. The number of the Census field staff is mentioned in paragraph 5 supra and I leave it to the Reader to judge how costly this Census would have been had that staff, which worked for over six months upto the Gonclusion of the enumeration, been stipendiary.

Of the official agencies utilised in connection with this Census the Revenue Department, as in the past proved to be the back-bone. The net· work of Census has to spread all over the territory to be censussed and the Revenue Agency. which has its staff everywhere, provided a ready-made nucleus for the purpose. The Patwaris and Field Kanungos worked as Supervisors and Charge Superintendents, respectively, in all rural areas of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State and since many of them had previously dIS

charged the~e functions, their experience stood us in good stead. Anyone acquainted with the Revenue Administration of this country would know that the hands of the Patwaris and Field Kanungos are fully occupied and hence it is all the more creditable on their part to have shouldered these responsibili ties for which they were to receive no r~muneration. .I must therefore thank them all for their sustained efforts without which, I state unhesitatingly, we would have been nowhere. The services rendered by the Patwaris of the Irrigation Department, the school teachers of the Education Department and the clerks in the employ of Government, Railway and local bodies also 'deserve special mention.

The Census arrangents at the district level were under the charge of the District Census Officers, who performed these functions in addition to their normal administrative duties. As all these officers already had multifarious responsibilities to shoulder, this addition to their work meant a good deal of extra

labour. But by and large they steered

IN']' ROW<C'l' ION 7

~ <;~sus operations with adequate care

~4J' devotion and tbe success of this q::eBsus- to a fairly large exte>nt is due to tlaeir un tiring efforts. I am grateful to I,llL the District Census Officers in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State for their whole-hearted cooperation, which is all !:be more commendable considering that t-hey carried out the Census duties without any extra remuneration. The Deputy 4::ommissioners too proved helpful and I (hank them for their assistance.

My thanks are also due to the Mili,.. ta.ry, authorities and Executive Officers of Cantonments in tbe Punjab and Bahawalpur State under whose supervision th,e enumeration was held in Cantonment Areas. Tbeir task was quite big but it was performed in a spirit of national s~rvice.

On several occasions I had to address tbe.Heads of Departments in connection with urgent matters germane to this Census. My requests received prompt ~ttention invariably and I must record

. J1.}y. appreciation of their helpful attitude. Th.e Directors of Public Instructions, IJldustries and Public Relations, Punjab, d~serve my special thanks for their cooJ?eration and ready response.

I had to invoke the assistance of Mr. H. A. Majid, C.S.P., lately Chief Secretary to Government, Punjab, repeatedly. He was most helpful on all occa· sions and did his utmost to accommodate me. At times I had to intrude upon his valuable time to seek his advice and he willingly gave it to me. I would be

falling in my duty if I did not especially, thank him for his help and able guioance •. The Chief Secretary to the Bahawalpur State Government also deserves my, thanks for his cooperative attitude.

I cannot let the help rendered by t.ho clerical staff attached to the Provincial Census Office go unnoticed. My Head. Clerk, Chaudhri Nazir Ahmad, who remained with me from start to finish, di,s .. charged his duties diligently and effi~

cjently. During the pre-enutn.4ration stage there were a few occasions w.b.<to. due to my absence from the headquarters on tour, immediate action was requi-red to be taken on some important instructions received from the Census Commissioner .. Chaudhri Nazir Ahmad was' not found lacking in initia tive and took. the requisite action without delay. My Stenographer, Mirza Abid Ali Beg, worked industriously throughout and SO

did pir Mahboob Elahi, Accountant, and Chaudhri Manzur Ahmad, Despatchercum-Typist. Not infrequently all these officials had to work late hours and on holidays and they did so ungrudgingly" nay willingly. Several times while writing the Administrative and Statistical Reports, I have had to utilise the services of Qureshi Manzur Ahmad, the Stenographer attached to me in my capacity as the Deputy Secretary to Government, Punjab, General Administration Department. Although he had no connection whatsoever with the Provincial Census Office he worked for me willingly; with commendable speed and precision, I may add. I thank them all for their loyalty and devotion which, I must say, greatly

8 INTRODUCTION

helped me in bringing this Census to a successful conclusion. I also thank the Sorting and Compilation staff which had a tough job to handle and finished it punctually and efficiently notwithstanding their numerous working difficulties. The first Chief Compiler left us before the work ha'd started going in full swing. But I wa~ lucky in securing the services of Kazi Akhlaque Husain, an Assistant of the Punjab Civil Secretariat, for the post of the Chief Compiler and he completed the job to my entire satisfaction for which I am indeed thankful to him.

My thanks are also due to Agha Ahmad Raza Khan, P.C.S., who worked as the Deputy Provincial Superintendent of Census, Punjab and Bahawalpur State, for about two months' just before the enumeration. He inspected the field work at several places which I could not visit personally due to paucity of time.

Sheikh Muhammad Sharif, P,C.S., remained with me for more than two years; first as the Deputy Superintendent in charge of the Hand Sorting Cen tre, Lahore, from the 21st March, 1951, upto the 31st January, 1952, and then as the Deputy Superintendent of Census, Punjab and Bahawalpur State, from the 1st February, 1952, to the 30th June, 1953. His work in both these capacities has been excellent. Usually officers belong-

ing to the General Administration De partment, whose normal duties embrace diverse interesting fields, are inclined to regard Census work as dull and monotonous and they avoid it for that reason. It is indeed fortunate for me that Sheikh Muhammad Sharif did not possess that tendency and remained with me right upto the end. His valuable assistance coupled with steadiness enabled me to complete my colossal· task punctually and I offer him my warmest thanks for it. Sheikh Abdul Hamid, Superintendent, Punjab Civil Secretariat, Lahore, worked as the Deputy Superintendent in charge of the Hand Sorting Centre, Rawalpindi. On the whole his work was satisfactory.

14. CODclusioD.-I would regard this Report as incomplete if I did not pay a tribute to Colonel E. H. Slade, Census Commissioner, Pakistan. Ever since he assumed charge of his office in June 1950, Colonel Slade has been most helpful to me in every possible way and it gives me great pleasure to express my deep gratitude for his invaluable advise which he gave me readily on all occasions. Colonel Slade so endeared himself by his sympathetic and kindly treatment, his high qualities and. last but not the least, his able guidance that the chapter of my service with him will remain a pleasant memory with me for ever.

Chapter 1

Geographical Summary

1.1 Introductory.-Before the statistical data collected at the time of the first Census of Pakistan taken in February, 1951, is presented, it seems desirable to give the outlines of the physical and political geography of the territory to which this Report relates III order to enable the reader to appreciate properly the population and its trends in the Punjab (Pakistan) and Bahawalpur State. Accordingly an attempt is made in this Chapter to describe the more salient topographical features which are germane to the problem of population. For a study of the historical background of this area the reader is referred to Chapter 2 infra.

1.2 Location and Boundaries-The Punjab (Pakistan) is bounded on the north by the Himalayan Ranges; on the east by India: on the south by India and Bahawalpur State and on the west by Baluchistan (from which it is divided by the Sulaiman Range) and the North West Frontier Province. It lies between 28.25 and 34.1 N, Latitude and 69.19 and 75.56 E. Longitude. The Bahawalpur State is bounded on the north by the punjab (Pakistan); on the east and south by India and on the west by the Province of Sind. It lies between 27.42 and 30.25 N. Latitude and 69.31 and 74.1 E. Longitude.

( 9 )

1.3 Area-According to the Survey of Pakistan the Punjab (Pakistan) has an area of a bout 62,245 square miles while the Bahawalpur State covers about 17,471 sqaure miles. The population of the Punjab (Pakistan) and the Bahawalpur State is 1,88,28,015 and 18,23,125, respect .. ively, which gives a density of 302 persons per square mile for the Punjab (Pakistan) and 104 for the Bahawalpur State. The density has been calculated on the total area which includes unin. habitable sandy deserts and hilly tracts.

1.4 General Description-The punjab is predominantly an agricultural country; not less than 80 per cent of the population depends on agriculture for its livelihood. With the exception of the northern districts of Rawalpindi, CampbeUpur and Jhelum, which contain hilly tracts and ravines, the country is a land of immense fertile plains and rich valleys. The soil is a sandy loam, interspersed with patches of clay and tracts of pure sand. A great part of the soil is renewed every year by floods; and rich loams of the Himalayas are brought down to the plains by the rivers and transmitted to great distances by man-made canals. About one-third of the cultivated area depends upon natural rainfall while the rest relies

10 &EOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY

on artificial methods of irrigation, of which canal irrigation is the most extensive. There is a net work of canals drawn from the rivers by which vast arid waste lands have been turned into fertile arable regions. The canal colonies, as there regions are known, began to receive settlers after 1880. They have many flourishing market towns, the most important being Lyallpur which is now a thickly populated city.

The Bahawalpur State comprises a flat plain merging into the desert as it recedes from the rivers Like the Punjab it is mainly an agricultural country. In the riverain tract the means of irrigation consist of flood waters and ordinary wells, while a network of inundation canals exists in other parts except the desert

area. The administrative system, rivers, rainfall canals, cultivation, crops, industries and communications of the Punjab and the Bahawalpur State are depicted

by maps, which appear in the following pages.

1.5 Administrative DivisioJIS,-The Punjab is made up of three revenue Divisions each under a Commissioner who is a senior permanent civil servant. The hea<;tquarters of these Divisions are at Lahore, MuHan and Rawalpindi. The Punjab has sixteen districts in all, each under the charge of a Deputy Commissioner. For facility of administration the districts are sub-divided into smaller units

known as sub-divisions (each under an

Assistant or Extra Assistant Commissioner). tehsils (each under a Tahsildar)

and revenue circles (each under a Field

Kanungo) which are further subdivided

into smaller groups for purposes of the maintenance of revenue records and agricultural statistics (each under a Patwari or Village Registrar) The names of the districts and tehsils in each Divisions are shown below:-

Map 1.1 shows the location and distribution of the administrative districts of the Punjab and the Bahawalpur State.

1.6 Topographical features.-The extreme north of the Punjab is a narrow strip of country adjoining the Himalayan Range into which run some of the spurs of the Range, such as the Murree Hills, which are 7,000 feet above sea level. The districts of Campbell pur, Rawalpindi and Jhelum are included in this tract. Small streams run through the area at a high speed and irrigation by canals is not possible owing to the uneven land structive. Towards the south-west of this area is the Salt Range, which contains the salt mines of Khewra of the coal mines of pidh and Diljabba situated in the Jhelum district. The Sulaiman Range forms the southern half of the western frontier of the Punjab while the tract lying on the eastern and western sides is an alluvial plain. The Gujrat and Sialkot districts lie at the foot of hills. The districts of Lahore, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Montgomery, Multan, Jhang and LyaIIpur and part of Shah pur district comprise the eastern plain. The

rainfall decreases rapidly away from the hills. A network of canals-the greatest canal irrigation system in the world-has been constructed for irrigating this area. The land bounded by the jhelum and the Chenab rivers on the east and the Indus on the west, comprising the districts of Mianwali, part of Shah pur, and Muzaffargarb forms the western plains. The whole of this area is dry; rains are scanty, and until recently, cultivation was generally possible only by inundation near the beds of rivers. A major portion of this tract is known as 'ThaI' and its irrigation and colonization is well under way. The Dera Ghazi Khan district lies between the Indus and the SuI aim an Range.

The Bahawalpur State has no mountains or hills. The State can be divided lengthwise roughly into three parts. Of these the southernmost and broadest is a desert (contiguous to the great Indian Desert) consisting largely of sand dunes known as the Rohi or Cholistan. It is separated from the adjacent tract by a depression called the Hakra, which is the dry bed of some big extinct river. The central strip is chiefly a flat desert though a large portion of it has now been brought under cultivation by canal irrigation. The northern strip is a fertile narrow alluvial tract in the Su tJej valley and is generally irrigated by non-perennial canals.

1.7 Rivers.-All the great rivers of the Punjab have their sources in the eternally snow clad Himalayas and have a continued water supply all the year round. This fact bas greatly contributed to the development of the canal irrigation system found in the province. The fertile

plains are all formed of the alluvial soil brought down by the rivers from the mountains. The indus is the greatest of all the Punjab rivers. After passing through the Hazara district of the North West Frontier Province it flows almost due south pass Campbellpur where it enters a deep gorge terminating at Kalabagh. Thus far it forms the western boundary; but south of Kalabagh it enters the Punjab and divides the Isakhel Tahsil from the rest of the Mianwali district. Further south again it forms the western boundary and at the extreme south it divides the Dera Ghazi Khan district from the Muzaffargarh district and theBahawalpur State. It may be mentioned that recently a great barrage, known as the "Jinnah Barrage" has been constructed on this river near Kalabagh for the' irrigation of the ThaI.

The other major rivers which travers the country from the north-east to the south-west are the Jhelum, the Chenab, the Ravi and the combined waters of the Sutlej and the Beas. The River Jhelum divides the districts of Jhelum (right bank) and Gujrat (left bank). and flowing through the Shah pur and Jhang districts, joins the River Chenab at Trimmu. After traversing the Chamba State and the Jammu Province of Kashmir the River Chenab enters the Punjab plains in the Sialkot district and parts the Sialkot and Gujranwala districts on the left bank from the Gujrat and Shahpur districts on the right. The River Ravi enters the Punjab at the border of the Sialkot . district, and passing through' ~ the 'West of the Lahore district separates it from the Montgomery. district; thence flowing through the nor-

them part of the Multan district it joins the combined waters of the Jhelum and the Chenab near the border of the Jhang district. The united streams of the three rivers are known as the Trimab. The

combined waters of thc Rivers Sutlej and Beas enter the Punjab at the border of

the Lahore district and following a

southerly course fall into the TriM2ab near Uch in the Bahawalpur State. Blow this confluence, the waters of the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, SutIej and Beas form the Panjnad or 'five rivers', which fall into the Indus at Mithankot.

The Bahawalpur State has no river running through its territory, but all the rivers of the Punjab from· a line on the northern and western boundaries. The Gharra, as the conflux of the Sutlej and the Beas is called in the State, runs along the northern boundary before joining the Chenab, Jhelum and Ravi at Punjnad. The Indus, with its five Punja b tributaries described above, flows along the western boundary of the State for some distance.

Map 1.2 shows the course of these rivers.

1.8 Rainfall.-The rainfall in the Punjab mainly dependS on the Monsoon currents, and normally lasts from June to September. Statement 1.A gives the figures of average rainfall, in each district for the last decade (1941-50).

The rainfall is fairly sufficient in the submontane tract of the Punjab comprising the districts of Sialkot, Rawalpindi and Jhelum which get between 26 and 34

jnches of rain. The district of Gujrat, Campbell pur andj Gujranwala on an average get between 23 and 25 inches rainfall, while the average of the districts of Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sargodba and Lyallpur is between 12 and 16 inches. The southern and south· western districts have scanty and often erratic rainfall which is about 10 incbes in the districts of Mianwali, Montgomery and Jhang and 5 inches in the Multan, Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghazi Khan districts. Rainfall is also scanty all over the Bahawalpur State. The eastern part is compratively better. Minchinabad, the ~ster,l) most Tahsil, gets to to 12 inches a year while the westernmost Tahsil of Sadiqabad, gets between 2.5 and 5 inches,

Map 1.3 illustrates the extent of rain

fall in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State.

1.9 Irrigation System-Due to scanty and irregular rainfall agriculture in the Punjab largely depends upon artificial methods of irrigation, According to the Season and Crop Reports, out of every 1,000 irrigated acres in the Punjab about

790 depend upon canals, 200 on wells (which number 198 thousands) and the remaining lOon other means of irrigation. Map 1.4 illustrates the network of the canal irrigation system in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. Several projects were constructed during the last century and large areas of waste land cOlonised. The Canal Colonies are toda y the most important factor in the stability of the food economy_ The prosperity of the

Bahawalpur State like that of the punjab depends mainly on canal irrigation. Statement l.B gives an account of the major canal works in the Punjab and

Babawalpur State.

In addition, there are a series of

inundation canals taken off chiefly from the river Indus in the Dera Ghazi Khan and Muzaifargarh districts, and the river lhelum mostly in the shah pur district. These inundation canals irrigate approxi~ mateJy 11,000 acres.

1.10 CuJtivatioD.-Excluding the forests and the land not available for cultivatioo (comonly known as Ghair Mumkin), there are 29 millions acres of cultivable

land in the Punjab of which 19 millions are actually under cultivation. This means that approximately 2/3rd of the cultivable area is actually under cultivation. The cultivable area and the net cultivated ~rea

production of salt during the year 1949-50 in thousand tons was 130 at Khewra, 16 at Warcha and 26 at Kalabagh.

Coal.-Coal of not very superior

quality' is found in the Salt Range and

the Trans-Indus region. Its probable workable resources in thousand tons are believed to be 69,700 in the Salt Range,

6,270 in Makerwal Trans-Indus region and 12,600 in Gullakhel Trans-Indus region.

At present there are 57 collieries of which

the most important are Pidh and Diljabba in the Jhelum dishict, Katha in the Shahpur district aDd Makerwal and Gul~

lakhel in the Mianwali district. The total production of coal in the Punjab has risen from 1,35,755 tons in 1942 to

district. Further sources. of supply of the oil were discovered at Joya-Mair in 1945 and Balkassar in 1948 both in the Jhelum district. The production of Crude Oil has increased from 1,17, 770barrels in 1947 to 9,47,515 barrels in 1951. The Crude Oil is taken to the re~nery at Rawalpindi from Khaur and Dhullian through a pipe-line, and from loya-Mair and Balkassar by rail.

Lime-stone & Gypsum. Vast deposits of lime-stone and gypsum are available in the Salt Range. The richest deposits of gypsum are located at Daudkhel in the Mianwali district where it is proposed to set up a Fertiliser factory. At present these minerals are chiefly used in the manufacture of Cement in the factories at Wah, district Campbellpur and Dandot, district lhelum. During 1950 the _production of limestone was 41,073 tons and gypsum 16,659 tons.

Miscellaneous Minerals.- Fire clay is excavated at Ratucha, Dandot and Lilla in the Jhelum district and Warcha in the Shahpur district. The Present production is about 6,000 tons per annum. Silica sand deposits occur in bedded form at Makcrwal and Gullakhei in the TransIndus region and Khewra in the Jhelum district The present annual production is about 3,000 tons. Building and roadmaking stone is found in the Jhelum, Shah pur and Mianwali districts.

Tbe'minerals resources of the Bahawalpur State are very meagre. GeOlogical surveys carried out by the Survey Department of the late Government of India in 1904 and 1945 revealed that the

entire area of the State lies either on alluvium or on desert sand and tha t no rock occurs except kankar and peashingle which are found in the eastern part of the State.

1.13 Indu'itries--The Punjab has made considerable advancement in the industrial field, At the time of the Partition there were 723 registered factories employing 1, 14, 021 workers. Most of these factories closed down on account of the mass movement of non-Muslim owners. Practically all abandoned factories that had not been completely da- . maged have now been rehabilitated and restored to normal working. Due to natural advantages favouring the growth of the cotton textile industry, five new textile mills have recently come into exist("nce at Lyallpur, Multan and Rawalpindi and several more are under cons

truction. Some small scale woollen mills and rayon weaving factories have also been set up. Tanning is another industry which has made headway. Ten mechanised tanneries one each at Lahore, Lyallpur, Rawalpindi and three each at Muridke {Sheikhupura district) and Multan have come into existence. The Batala Engineering Company (Pakistan) Ltd.,

have installed a big machine tool manufacturing plant at Lahore. Some other factories for the manufacture of glassware, crushed-bone, paints and varnishes sulphuric acid, hydrogenated oils and biscuits have also been started. The sports goods and surgical instrumeo ts industries of Sialkot, which had received a set back due to the Partition, are again humming with activity. The Government


Surgical and Allied Trade Development Centre at Sialkot has been expanded with a view to standardising and developing tbe metal industries there. The cutlery industry of Wazirabad and Nizamabad

il'l the Gujranwala district has also been reorganised. The refugee hand loom weavers from India have been settled in the Lyallpur, lhang and Multan districts

and arrangements have been made for finishing the cloth manufactured by them. The wheels of induqtry have also been set in motion in the Bahawalpur State. Beside'> a large number of cotton ginning and oil expelling factories, ice plants.

flour mills and founderies, the State has a modern textile mill, a hydrogenated oils plant and a soap factory and further industrial expansion is contemplated. The development of cotton and woollen

cottage industries is also progressing satisfactorily.

1.14 Sources of supply of electricity. Map 1. 7 indicates the location of miner

als, industries and hydrodectric instalia

tions in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State.

Before the Partition the Punjab (Pakistan) had two scurces of supply of electrical energy; namely. the Mandi HydroElectric Power Station at 10gindernagar

and 36 Electric Supply Undertakings of which one; viz. the Lahore Electric Supply Company, was owned by the Punjab Government. In the Partition of the Punjab the Mandi Hydro Electric Power Station fell to the share of the Punjab (India). Secondly due to the mass migration of the population, the non-Muslim

owners of many Electric Supply Undertakings abandoned their power houses. These two factors made the posilion of

the supply of electrical energy difficult in the Punjab (Pakistan) to begin with. But soon, by an agreement with the Punjab (India) Government the supply of about

10,000 K. W. from the Mandi HydroElectric Scheme was arranged. Simultaneously the rehabilitation of the abandoned electric concerns was undertaken by the Punjab (Pakistan) Public Works

Department, Electricity Branch, and as a

result, besides re-harnessing the old plants, some new diesel sets with a total capacity of 7,000 K. W. were installe t at several places. Work was also resumed with redoubled energy on tbe Rasul

Hyde} Scheme, which was designed for a

load of 22,000 K. W. This project had been started in 1945 and was progressing satisfactorily until the time of the Partition when it became completely disorga

nised owing to wide spread communal riots and the emigration of non-Muslims. The scheme has since been re-activated when it is fully in operation it will supply

electricity to 28 towns in the Gujranwala. Sheikhupura, Lyallpur, Jhang. Gujrat, lhelum and Sargodha districts. The

Punjab (Pakistan) is fortun"te in having large water-power resources estimated at one million kilowatts approximately. The ultimate objective is to harness these re

sources by the construction of large scale Hydro-Electric Schemes and to cover the whole province with a network of transmission lines so as to provide a large amonnt of electrical energy at cheap rates

not only for industrial development but

also for domestic consumption in both urban and rural areas. The supply of electrical energy in the Bahawalpur State

is not so well organised as in the PUl'ljab

1.15 Communications Railways. Mapl.8 illustrates the railways and roads in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. The Western wing of Pakistan is fortunate in having inherited an extensive system of railway communications called the North Western Railway. Among other areas, this railway, which has its Headquarters Office at Lahore, serves the more important parts of the Punjab and the Bahawalpur State. It has two main lines which start at Peshawar in the North West Frontier Province and running through the Punjab, the Bahawalpur Stite and Sind terminate at Karachi. From Peshawar to Lalamusa in the Gujrat district these main lines have a common track which passes through Campbell pur. Rawalpindi and Jhelum. Bifurcation takes place at Lalamusa from where one of the lines takes a southerly course and running through Gujrat and Gujranwala reaches Lahore; thence it bears in a south·westerly direction and passing through Montgomery and Multan in the Punjab and Bahawalpur and Rahimyar Khan in the Bahawalpur State, enters the Province of Sind. The second main line runs into the Chenab Colony from Lalamusa and passing through Sargodha and Lyallpur joins tbe first line at Khanewal in the Multan district. The north-west corner of the Punjab is also connected with Karachi. by branch lines running through J{undian and Bhakkar in the Mianwali

district, Leiah and Mahmud Kot in the Muzaffargarh district; thence to Sher Shah which lies between Multan and Lodhran, on the main line. There are numerous cross branches on these three lines which together form a network of railway over the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. The only portion of the Punjabnot served by the North Western Railway is the Dera Ghazi Khan district which lies on the west of the river Indus.

Roads. There has been a notable expansion of road transport in the Punjab due largely to the extension of roads in the province. Besides the Government Transport Services run by the Punjab Transport Board in several parts of the province there are numerous privately owned transport services. 'Metalled and unmetalled roads are spread all over, even in the remotest parts of the Punjab. The chief highway is the Grand Trunk. Road which starts from Wagah in the Lahore district at the border of the Punjab (Pakistan) and the Punjab (India) and passing through Lahore, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Jhelum, Rawalpindi and Camp· belJpur enters the North West Frontier province ending at Peshawar. This highway is metalled and bridged throughout. An equally important highway runs from Lahore to Karachi through Montgomery, Multan, lhe Bahawalpur State and the Sind Province. There are also a large number of arterial roads connecting the district headquarters with important towns. The medium of road transport is utilised for both passenger and goods traffic and is particularly useful for the movement of agricultural produce to

market towns. The Punjab has an ambitious road extension programme which is being implemented year by year. The construction of some 400 miles of new metalled roads in the Thai has significantly contributed towards its colonisation. In 1941 the Punjab had 2,073 miles of metalled roads and 924 miles of un metalled roads. In 1951 this mileage stood at 3,346 and 1,374 giving an increase of 61% and 50% respectively. The Bahawalpur State also has been developing its roads. The total length of. public roads in the State has gone up from 1,369 miles in 1941 to 2,074 miles in 1951. The principle roads in the State are the Bahawalpur-Dera Nawab Sahib Road and the Multan-Rohri-Quetta Road.

Rivers. Due to the devdopment of rail and road traffic the rivers of the Punjab have lost much of their previous

significance as important means of communication. By and large there is little navigation now on the Rivers Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum except some ferries for crossing them. But their streams are still utilised for transporting to the plains the timber felled on the hills through which they run. In the River Indus however some trade is carried on with the neighbouring province of Sind by means of country crafts and boats though even this is on the wane.

Air. A most recent addition to the means of communication, even if still in its infancy, is civil aviation. Lahore and Rawalpindi lie on the air route from Karachi to Peshawar on which regular passenger services are run. Lahore also lies on the air route from. Karachi to Dacca in East Pakistan. Further a regular service exists between Lahore and Delhi (India).

Chapter 2

Historical

2.1 Introductory. It ic; perhaps outside the scope of this Report to give a detailed historical survey of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. There is no dearth of treatises on that subject written by many eminent historians which leave no room for addition particularly of an amateurish one. Secondly, in the limited space that can be allotted to such a survey in a report of this nature, it would be quite impossible to cover the vast ground comprehensively. However, for the benefit of the reader who does not know the territory to which this Report relates, its historical background is outlined in this chapter very briefly.

2.2 Pre-Muslim Period. The Punjab (which means the land of the five rivers) is the country enclosed and watered by the Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and. Sutlej rivers. It was the seat of the earliest Aryan settlemen ts in India and the Vedic civilization. Its natural advantages in soil and climate-immense fertile plains, rich valleys and abundan t water supply-lead to the belief that the territory must have been amongst the earliest settlements of man. The ruins of Harappa in the Montgomery district about 110 miles south-west of Lahore, show that it was a well arranged city with baths and granaries and that the

Survey.

people who lived in it were fairly advanced and possessed an orderly Government. From some far distant part of Asia a horde of Aryans came about 1500 B.C. and it is thought that they seized Harappa and massacred the inhabitants. Since ancient times the capital of the Punjab has been Lahore. It is situated on the left bank of the Ravi river.

2.3 Khyber Pass. The Punjab adjoins the North West Frontier Province, which is another Province of the Western wing of Pakistan. Befote the advent of navigation the Khyber Pass, which is situated in the North West Frontier Province, was the only natural gateway to India; so the Punjab was the first to be invaded by successive conquerers of the country all of whom came to India by this route. For a brief period after 500 B.C. Darius, a Persian King, founded a satrapy in the Punjab from Kalabagh in the Mianwali district to the sea. In 326 B.C. Alexander the Great of Macedonia with his Greek troops fought his way to the territory east of the Indus and there at Taxila received the surrender of the Indian King Porus, to whom he granted the country between the upper reaches of the Jhelum and Chenab. Alexander advanced as far as the Beas river; but since his soldiers were reluctant to cross that

(29 )

30 HISTORICAL SURVEY

river he returned, making Porus the Governor of all the conquered country west of the Beas. When he died in 323 B, C. the Greek rule came an end in northern

India. For the next few hundred years

the north-west corner of ancient India remained under the Buddhist rule of Asoka and his successors. Now and then fresh invaders entered the country through the Passes and there was often much confusion. By 100 B. C. the Sakas invaders from Central Asia, who adopted the Buddhism of the country, founded a kingdom in the north-west Punjab. This kingdom was overrun by the 'Kushan

tribe.

2.4 Muslim Inl'asions. The first real invasion of India by the Muslim occurred in 712 A.D. when Muhammad Bin Kasim, one of the Generals of the Khalifa.

"onquered Sind and took Multan. which then lay on the north bank of the Ravi. In 986-87 A D. the Turkish Sultan Subaktagin. with whose arrival the Islamic failh obtained its first real footing in the Indian Continent, crossed the Indus to invade the kingdom of Lahore, then ruled by the Brahman Prin~e Jaypal. They met neal;' Peshawar and Jaypal had to ransom his kingdom. Subaktagin returned in the following year to enforce the promised payment; there was again great slaughter and he took possession of till the country on his side of the Indus. His successors, Mahmud Ghazni, made a series of inroads into InQia. On gaining a victory over the Rajas of Ajmer, Kanauj, Delhi, etc., in the year 1008 he annexed the northern Punjab as part of the kingdom of Ghazni. The occupation of

Lahore was the first beginning of the future Muslim Empire of LlJia. It was

in about 1098 that Lahore became the real capital of the Ghaznavid dynasty. The second on the roll of the founders of the Muslim Empire in India was Muhammad Ghori, who ousted the decendants of Subaktagin from Lahore in ll87 and with the death of Khusru Malik, the Ghaznavid representative at Lahore,

the dynasty of Mahmud came to an end and Lahore was occupied by MuhlG1mad Ghori. In order to establish his supremacy he had to fight battles agains t the Raja of Ajmer and other Rajput chieftains. Meanwhile the Gakkhars, a tribe in the mountains of the Punjab, committed depredations on the country between the Jhelum and Chenab. They succeeded in capturing Lahore. Muhammad Ghori repelled their omlaught with the assistance of his slave general Qutab-ud-Din Aibak and recovered Lahore. In March 1205, however, he was assassinated by the .Gakkhars when he was on his way to Ghazni. On his death Qutab-ud-Din ascended the throne at Lahore and for nearly two centuries LahQre was held by the representatives of the Slave Dynasty and of the Khilji, Tughlak, Sayyad and Lo~i

Dynasties which succeeded it. In 1398 Timur invaded the Punjab in the reign of Muhammad Tughlak, plundered the country and returned to Turkistan.

2.5 Moghals and Afghans 1526·1759 A.D. In 1526 Babar, a decendant of Timur, repeated the exploits of Timur, but his ambition was for conquest and occupation and not merely for plunder. Baber defeated Ibrahim Lodi near

drove Humayun from India in 1540. Sher ~an ~etnaine'd in possession of Lahore for some years and connected Multan

and Lahore by Ii road_ It was not until 1555 that Humayun was able to return to tndia, he occupied Lahore in that year and went on to Delhi where he met his detth by an accidental fall in 1556. On

~ death of Humayun his son Akbar, ttttlti dtily about 14 years of age, was pro-

_ Cfai'lned the Emperor of India at Kalat'I''lidr in the Gurdaspur district of the Punjab, now in India. Akbar came at Ortce to Lahore and with his accession a nt!w era began. The Moghal Empire was finally and firmly established and the Punjab, after 20 years of incessant war, enjoyed comparative peace. In Akbar's reign Lahore attained its period of greatest grandeur which ended when he left the City for Delhi and the Deccan in the

42nd year of his reign, seven years before his death in 1605. Akbar was succeeded by his son Jahangir, who died at Bhimber in 1627 and was burried at Shahdara near Lahore. On the death of ]ahangir, his son Shah Jahan was proclaimed as the Emperor, at Agra early in 1628. He reigned for about 30 years

when in 1658 his son Aurangzeb engaged

with his 3 brothl:fs in a fight for succes

$i(ln to the throne, beld him as a prisoner.

He died it!. 1666. Aurangzeb, who suc

ceeded Shah Jahan, died in 1707. In the closing years of his reign signs were alrt:ady visible that the downfall of the great Moghal Empire was not far distant. The Moghal rule in the Punjab came to an end in 1759.

2.6 Sikh Power 1768-1849 A. D. The Sikhs were originally the followers of a

religious sect, founded by Baba Nanak,

who was born near Lahore in the latter half of the 15th century and died at Oeta Nanak of} the Ravi in 1538. He was succeeded by a succession of Gurus (spiritual leaders), under whom the new doctrine made steady but peaceful pro

gress. Ramdass, the fourth Guru, obtained from Akbar a gran t of land on the spot, now under the city of Amritsar the metropolis of the Sikh faith. Arjan, the fifth Guru, being involved in a quarrel with the Imperial Governor of Lahore, was imprisoned in that city. When he died his followers asserted that he had been cruelly put to death and this changed tb e in offensive and pacifist Sikhs into fanatical warriors. They became open enemies of the Muslims and their Government and committed unheard of cruelities wherever they directed their steps between Lahore and Delhi, Their activities, however, were keptunder check by the Emperor

Bahadur Shah until 1738, when after the invasion of Nadir Shah, a Turkman of humble origin, who ransacked Delhi and

weakened the power of the Moghals, the Sikhs once more gathered fresh courage to rebel. An important in cident relating to' the Sikhs took place in 1762 when

Ahmad Shah Durrani, the Afghan

32 HISTORICAL SURVEY

conqueror of the Marhattas at Panipa t in the preceding year, routed their forces completely and pursued them across the Sutlej. On his homeward march he destroyed the town of Amritsar and blew up the Sikh temple there. But as he withdrew the Sikhs rose once more and established their authority in the Punjab under Ranjit Singh, a Sikh adventurer, who had obtained a grant of Lahore from Zaman Shah, the Durrani Ruler ofKabuI. Ranjit Singh spread his power over the greater part of the Punjab. In 1809 he made a treaty with the British, by which he undertook not to encroach on the Sutlej and to preserve friendship with the British Government in return for the recognition of his sovereignty over all his conquests north of that river. This treaty, it may be mentioned. he scrupulously respected till the end of his life on the 27th June, 1839. On his death his son Kharak Singh succeeded to the throne of Lahore, but he died in November, 1840. A state of anarchy ensued, during which the Sikhs committed depredations on British territory, resulting in two Wars known as the First and 2nd Sikh Wars. The First Sikh War took place in December, 1845, When battles were fought at Mudki on the 18th

December 1845, Feroz Shah on the 21st December 1845, Aliwal on the 22nd January, 1846 and Sobraon on the 10th February, 1846. The Second Sikh War followed in 1848, when battles Were fought at Chillianwala on the I3th January, 1849 and Gujrat on the 22nd February, 1849. In all these battles the Sikhs were defeated by the British troops with heavy losses and this ended the Sikh rule in the punjab which thenceforth became a

Province of British India. The formal annexation was proclaimed at Lahore on the 29th March, 1849. Maharaja Dalip Singh was granted an annuity of £50,000/and he resigned for himself, his heir, and his successors, all right title and claim, to the sovereignty of the Punjab or to any sovereign power whatever. He r~sided

in England until his death.

2.7 British Rule 1849-1947 A.D. When in 1849 the Punjab became a pro

vince of British India, a Board of Administration was established in Lahore with powers to communicate directly with the Governor General. In February, IS53, the Board was replaced by a Chief Commissioner. Four years later there was an uprising against the British rule which was styled as the Mutiny. It was suppressed on the 14th September, 1857 with the fall of Delhi. After the Mutiny the Punjab made rapid progress in commercial and industrial wealth and security, peace and law and order were established. Railway projects and the construction of roads connecting all the big centres of population were undertaken as also grand schemes of irriga~ion, which converted thousands of acres of barren land into green smiling plains and numerous charitable institutions, schools, colleges and hospitals came into existence. The peace and prosperity that prevailed in the Punjab were reflected in the Census figures of the population which showed a steady increase. In 1858

the British Parliament, transferred the Government of India from the East India Company to the Crown. Early in the eighties the Indian National Congress was founded to plead the cause of the

,HISTORIC...fL SURVEY

, Indians in the political sphere; strange as it may seem its founder was an English-

, man named Hume_ The Muslims joined bands with the Hindus in that organisation. But by the beginning of the 20th century they had begun to realise that the Congress was not representing their iaterests prnperly and as a result the All

,'India Muslim League was formed 'in 1906. ' In 1919 the Morley-Minto Reforms gave separate electoral representation to the Muslims and armed with the power to press their claims as also with their advancement)n education. they

, were able to wield greater authority.

2.8 Conception of Pakistan. The bitterness between the two major communities, namely. Hindus and Muslims, conti'1t\ied to increase and led the Muslims to think in terms of a separate home-land for themselves within India. The first great Muslim thinker who voiced the necessity of a separate home for Muslims in India was the late Dr. Sir Mohammad Iqbal. In the annual session of the Muslim League held at Allahabad in December, 1930 a resolution detranding the creation of a Muslim India within India was passed. Qaid-i-Azam Mr. Mohammad Ali Jinnah, whO' like many Muslim leaders of India had previously been a staunch supporter of, Hindu-Muslim unity and had preached it from the Congress platform, on being convinced of the necessity of a separate home-land for Muslims gave the movement his wholehearted support. In one of his speeches

, he said, .• Many efforts have been made , since 1924- till the Round Table Confer'ence to Tsettle the Hindu-Muslim ques-

tion. AI: that time thete waS' no pnide in me and I used to beg from the Congress. I worked so incessantly to bring about a

, 'rapproachment that' a' newspaper' remarked , that 'Mr. Jinmih IS never tired of Hindu

Muslim unity'. But I received the shock of 'my life at the meetings of the Round

. Table Conference, Iii the face of danger. the Hindu sentiment, the Hitidu mInd, the Hindu attitude led me to the conclusion that there was no hope o(unitt'.

The demand kept gaifiing ground and in 1940 the All India Muslim League in its meeting held at Lahore under" the leadership of the Quid-i-Azam unanimo~sly adopt~d the historic resoh~~ on Pakistan saymg that no const_onal plan would be workable in India or acceptable to the Muslims unless it was designed on the following basic principles, namely, that geographically contiguous units should be demarcated ioto regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary, that the areas in which the

'MusJimsare numerically in a majority, as in the North-Western .~nd Eastem Zones of India, should be grouped to constitute 'Independent States' in' which the constituent units shall be' autonomotJs and sovereign_

2.9 Establishment of Pakistan_ In the years that followed there was a sustained struggle by the Muslims all over India for the achiev~~ent' of Paki~tan. The "two-nation" theory wasso ably sponsored by the'Quad-i-Azam that eventuany. on the 3rd .June. 1947. despite the strong opposition of Hindus and Sikhs, Lord <Louis Mountbatten under instructions

HISTORICAL SURVEY

from His Majesty's Government announced the plan for the transfer of power to Indians in which the Muslim demand for Pakistan was conceded. After the agreement of the different communities of India to the plan the British Parliament passed the Indian Independence

, Act on the 18th July, 1947 which provided for the establishment in India of two Independent Dominions, namely, India and Pakistan as from the 15th August, 1947. Under the Award of the Radcliffe Boundary CoI!imission (named after its Chairman, Sir Cyril Radcliffe,) inter alia the Punjab was divided into two parts with sixteen districts in one part r nd thirteen in the other with certain territorial adjustments. The former consisting of the districts of Gujranwala, Lahore. Sheikhupura, Sia]kot, Dera jGhazi Khan, Jhang, Lyallpur. Montgomery, Multan, Muzaffargarh, Campbell pur, Gujrat, Jhelum, Mianwali. Rawa]pindi and Shahpur became a part of Pakistan and this Report deals with this part. A rough map of the Punjab showing its division in accordance with the Radcliffe Award (Map No. 2.1)

2.10 Aftermath of Partition. In the Punjab (India), soon after Pakistan came into being, there started a campaign of genocide coupled with looting against the Muslims.

This forced their oxodus en masse to . the Punjab (Pakistan), and a'l a result of its inevitable repercussions there was a similar emigration of Hindus and Sikhs from the Punjab (Pakistan). In this movement of population on both sides

over one mill]on people had to change their abode, which created problems of such complexity and magnitude as have few paralle]s in the history of the world. The Muslim refugees, commonly known as Muhajirs, arrived in Punjab (Pakistan) in a most pitiable condition and the Government of this new-born State was faced with immediate problems of feeding, housing and rehabilitation. Furthermore a void was created in the economic structure of this country. Until the Partition practically all trade, banking and industry in th~ Punjab had been in the hands of the non-Muslims. They also held a majority of the posts in the public services and their en masse emigration therefore very nearly paralysed the economic and administrative life of the Punjab (Pakistan). Almost all banks, commercial and business houses and factories cIoseddown, the channels of norma] trade dried up, there were no agencies to finance the movement of agricultural produce from the farms to the markets; the wheels of industry ceased to~re,olve and wide gaps occurred in all branches of the administrative machinery not excluding hospitals, educational institutions and canals. In these circumstances the provision of shelter and relief for tl;te refugees who were pouring in at an average rate of 50,000 per day and the restoration of the economic life and the administrative structure was all the more difficult. But, with a resolute determination to stabilise Pakistan, this colossal responsibility was shouldered earnestly by the Government and the hardships faced courageously by the people, By barnessing all possible resources at its

2.11 Babawalpur State. The Bahawalpur State lies to the south-west of the Punjab and the north-west. of Sind and forms a connecting link between these two Provinces. The present ruling family of the State belongs to the Abbasi

clan, the descendants of the Abbaside Caliphs of Baghdad, who after the break up of the Caliphate as a result of the Mongol invasion, joined the Mamelukes in Egypt, where they enjoyed an influential position,., Between 1366-1370 ,A.D, ' Amir Sultan Ahmad 1I emigrated: to Sind and annexed a considerable area Of land. But in course of time~ the family gradually moved north-wards, losing much of the Sind territory and finally settled at Derawar in the vicinity of the present city of Bahawalpur. This area appears to have been selected owing to its more central position. The Rulers of Bahawalpur first owed allegiance to Afghanistan, but assumed independence on the fall of the Durrani Empire, which followed the expulsion of Shah Shuja from Kabul. In 1833 Bahawalpur was visited by Mr. Elphinstone. then ,on his

way to Kabul and in the same year, at the instance, of the British Governme~t, a treaty of perpetual friendship alliance and unity of interests between the East'In,dia Company and the Ruler of Bahawalpur was nogotiated. The treaty was further strengthened by a subsequent treaty in 1838. Both these treaties recognised_the Nawab and his heirs as absolute rulers of their country. The Nawab of Bahawal:' .

pur rendered assistance to the British in the Fist Afghan War and in 1847-1848 he cooperated actively with Sir Herbert Edwardes in the expedition against Multan. For these services he received the grant of the districts of Sabzalkot and Bhung, together with a life pension of . rupees one lakh per annum. The present Ruler is His Higness Lt.' General AI-Haj Sir Sadiq Muhammad Khan Bahadur Abbasi V, G.C.S.L, G.C I.E., K.C.S 1., K.C.V.O., LL.D. He was born in 1904, succeeded .to the Gaddi jn 1907'l\nd was 'investe~:l'with full ruling powers in 1924.

. '. He is Colonel-in-Chi~f of the Bahawalpur State Forces and holds the honorary rank of Lieut.-General in the Pakistan Army. He is entitled to a salute of 17 guns. The heir-apparent is Brigadier Sahibzada Muhammad Abbas Khan Abbasi.

2.12 Effect of Partition. At the time of the partition of Iadia in 1947, Bahawalpur State acceded to Pakistan. The problems which the State had to face a result of partition' were not much different from those described in paragraph 2.10 supra. There was an influx of refugees many of whom reat:hed the State territory in indigent circumstances and the State authorities did e~erything in 'their power to alleviate their suffering. The fact that the incoming refugees were over 50% more than the emigrants, manifests the magnitude of the task which confronted the authorities, but final rehabilitation of the refugees in the State is nearing completion.

3.4 Comparison with past times. In the la~t 50 years the population of the Punjab has increased from 9,593 thousands to 18,828 thousahds, i. e , by about 96 per cent. The increase in the first two decades; viz., 1901-1910 and 1911-1920, though slow was gradual. Rapid growth

MOVEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION 39

commenced in the 1921-1930 decade largely because of the extension of irrigation. with the constructicD of new canal projects and the industrial and commercial development of the province. Since then the population has made great progress due firstly to na tural increase by the excess of births over deaths and secondly to migrations into the new colonies. During the last decade there was an increase of 3,001 thousands against 2,936 thousands in the preceding decade. Although numerically the increase during the last decade was more. the percentage increase declined from 22.8 to 19.1. Since 1947 there has been an abnormal increase of population on account of the influx of some 5 million refugees from India

,against the outgoing Hindus and Sikhs who numbered about 3.8 million in the 1941 census.

The popUlation in the Bahawalpur State has risen by more than 150 per cent

, during the last 50 years and as in the case of the Punjab the rise up to the 1921 Census was slow but the growth was rapid in the ]921-1930 decade due to the

· construction of the Sutlej Valley Project which brought large areas of barren land under the plough. The increase during the last decade was 482 thousands against 356 thousands in the preceding decade. In both these decades the percen tage increase stood at about 36. After the

· partition of India in 1947 there was a mass migration of Muslims from India to

· the Bahawalpur State as well. The Mus-· Jim refugees numbered about 373 thou

sands in 1951 against 239 thousands Hindus and Sikhs enumerated in ] 941 ,

:" who migrated to India.

A fuller detail of the variations of population in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State during the last five decades with causes thereof will be found in paragraph 3.7 infra.

3.5 Proportion of Urban and Rural Population. The result of the 1951 Census reveal that in the Punjab 3.4 million persons (1.9 males and 1.5 females) reside in urb an localities, while 15.4 million ( 8,2 male sand 7.2 females) dwell in rural areas. This shows that ] 8 per~

cent of the total popuhition live in towns and cities. The corresponding figure for all Pakistan is 10 per cent. In 1931 and 1941 the urban population of the Punjab was 13 and ]5 per cent of its total popu~ lation respectively. In Bahawalpur State 195 thousand persons (1 JO males and

85 females) reside in urban areas. This

indicates that 1] per cent of the popula~ tion lives in towns and cities and the remainder in rural areas. The proportion of urban popUlation in 1931 and 1941 was 4 and 9 pe r cent, respectively. The foregoing figures indicate tha t in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State there is a mark~ ed tendency for persons to congregate in cities and towns. This tendency for urbanisation is largely the result of the growth of commerce and industry. The position will be discussed at some length in the next Chapter.

3.6 Accuracy of Census figures. It would be futile to claim that in the course of the 1951 Census no person was left out or counted more than once. Such perfec~ tion would be difficult to achieve even in

COQntries wbere the entire P9pulalioD,is

.40 MOVEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION

literate and concious of its duties when a census is taken. However iospite of some inherent handicaps, which need not be dilated upon here, the Census to which this Report relates was conducted as efficiently as possible and all reasonable pr~cautions were taken to eliminate glaring inaccuracies. In rural areas the field work was-entrusted to the revenue agency which was not only ubiquitous but also had adequate personnel many of whom had already conducted a census or two and as a result the work was quite well done there. Byand large the position in urban areas was also satisfactory even

. though in some urba.n blocks particularly in the big cities the enumerators were not able to reach the standard of accuracy set by the bulk of their confrers in rural areas. Undeniably there was underenumeration in some of these blocks though not to an extent as to make the whole data unreliable. It seems worth mentioning tbat the enumeration in big cities in this country, as probably elsewhere. has always had to face similar difficulties in the past and therefore the 1951 Census was no exception. On the whole the figures collected in 1951 can be claimed to be more accurate tban those of any previous census, firstly because of the absence of communal passions which are known to have led to the inflation of figures in the past, and, secondly because of the more rational and scientific technique employed in their collection •.

3.7 Variations doring the last five decades. As a result of the partition of lnttia in 1?47 mentioned in Chapter 2 the·

Punjab which then had 29 districts was divided into two parts, namely. Punjab (Pakistan) and Punjab (India), The former to which this Report relates- contains 16 districts and the Shakargarh Tahsil previously in the Gurdaspur District and the latter has 13 districts and some-villages of the Kasur Tahsil of the Lahore Dis-

. trict. In order therefore to have a proper appreciation and comparison of the 1951 figures with those of the past censuses, adjustments have been carried out in the latter on the basis of the territorial changes. Table 3-Variations shows in the case of Punjab the figures for the five censuses taken between 1901 and 1941 adjusted on the basis of the said territorial changes and the data collected in 1951. Since in the case of the Bahawalpur State there has been no territorial change its agu·res for the past censuses have been incorporated in this table without any adjustment.

Statement 3-e shows the increase for each census period in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State from !901 onwards.

In the fir st decade of this century anepidemic of plague of great virulence with fever of specially fatal type took a heavy toll in the undivided Punjab so much so that the decade ~losed with an excess of deaths over bi rtbs. There was an appreciable decrease in the districts of Gujranwala, Sialkot and Lahore as also in the territory constituting the Punjab (lodia). The population in Montgomery, Shahpur, Lyal1pur. Jhang, Multan and some other

. districts in the Punjab (Pakistan), however' showed an excess due partly to migration to the new colonies, which had

sprung up as a result of the Lower lhelum and Lower Chena b Canals and partly to better living conditions of the colonists made possible by their prosperity. Although the undivided Punjab indicated a decrease of 2.4 per cent over this decade the population of the area now forming the Punjab (Pakistan) showed an excess of 6.4 per cent.

The second decade (1911-1920) was healthy for the most part but in the year 1918 there was an influenza epidemic of a very severe type which accounted for nearly a million deaths. The popUlation that had been rising each year and was at its peak in 1917, came down violently

in 1918. The decade also saw the first World War (1914-1918), which coupled with the failure of the crops in 1915-1916. 1918·1919 and 1919-1920 upset the economic balance of the country. During 1918-1919 there was open disorder in the province which left a legacy of racial feeling and industrial unrest resulting in strikes and dislocation of industry. Nevertheless the population in the canai colonies continued to rise as compared to other parts of the province.

The next decade was on the whole a healthy one with the exception of mild epidemics of plague in 1924 and 1926; cholera in Lahore in the latter year and malaria during the autumn of the year 1929. During most of the years of this decade the birth-rate maintained a high level while the death-rate was comparatively low and this together with the opening of the Sutlej Valley Project and considerable advancement in the industrial and commercial activities led to an over-all increase of about 17 per cent in the third decade.

With the growth of political consciousness in the country the 1941 census became a burning question, especially in the cities and a~ a result Muslims and Hindus vied with each other in increasing their recorded numbers by multiple enumeration as well as by the inclusion of bogus entries. There was a certain amount of inflation on that account; hence the census taken at the end of the 1931-1940 decade has not been regarded as presenting a true picture of the population in 1941 though it must be admitted that the population did increase

42 MOVEMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION

during this decade due to agricultural

prosperity and industrialisation.

The results of the present census show an excess of 30 lakhs during the decade

1941-1950. Tbe excess was mainly due to tbe immigration of Muslim refugees from India, Moreover the decade remained free from any epidemic diseases and this resulted in a higher natural in

crease.

The population of the Bahawalpur State bas risen from 7 lakhs in 1901 to

18 lakhs in 1951. As Statement 3-C

will show the rates of increase were 8.3 per cent in 1911; 0.1 per cent in 1921; 26 per cent in 1931 and 36 per cent both in 1941 and 1951. On account of the absence of data it is not possible to explain the causes of these variations but it seems that the conditions prevailing in the State were not much different from those in the Punjab. The rapid growth noticeable in the 1921-1930 and 1931-1940 decades is the result of the expansion of irrigation by the Sullej Valley Project.

The increase in the 1941-1950 decade includes about 373 thousand in·coming

refugees.

area in all these districts has risen substantially, and due to the human instinct to chase food there has been a continuous flow of population there. This factor also influenced the movement of the refugees from India who migrated to these districts in a higher proportion. Next comes the Lahore district in which lies the city of Lahore, the capital of the province. Lahore is a big industrial and business centre and has been attracting a large number of people on account of the opportunities for employment in Government offices, business houses and factories. There has been an increase of

about 25 per cent in the last decade due largely to the re-settlement in Lahore

city of the refugees from Amritsar. Jullundur, Ludhiana and other urban areas in the Punjab (India). Jhang, which is also a canal irrigated tract, has been making a steady progress in every decade. Recently it has attracted a considerable number of Muhajir weavers owing to the existence of congenial conditions in Jhang-cum-Maghiana town for the manufacture of woollen materials. Gujranwala and Rawalpindi also show a rise of 15 and 12 per cent respectively in the last decade mainly in the urban population. The rise in the remaining districts has not been equally sharp and some have even recorded a fall in certain decades. For instance. the population of Gujranwala and Sialkot districts declined by 18 and 17 per cent respectively in the 1901-1910 decade while at Dera Ghazi Khan and Jhelum there was a drop of 6 and 1 per cent during the 1911-1920 decade. The Sialkot district decreased by 1 per cent again in the last decade. Bahawalpur State rose by 8 per cent in 1901-1910 decade. The increase in the next decade was nominal but thereafter it has been appreciable.

3.11. Relationship of population density to cultivable land industries and other potentialities. Map 3.2. shows the relative density of each dis trict. The density is high in the eastern and central districts of the Punjab while the western part andthe Bahawalpur State are sparsely popu~ lated. Lahore, Sialkot and Lyallpur have the highest density because favourable agricultural conditions spart the districts are industrially more advanced. Gujrat, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi and Montgomery come next baving more than 3/4ths of their total area under the plough. They also contain flourishing business and industrial cities and towns wbich help to increase their density. Mianwali, Muzaffargarh and Dera Ghazi Khan are at the tail end. Their net cultivated area is less than half; the means of irrigation are poor and there is hardly any welldeveloped industry. About 1/4th of the total area of the Bahawalpur State is under cultivation and this coupled wlth the fact that the State is not industrially advanced accounts for its low density.

3 12 Religious Composition of population. Table 6-Religion, published in part II of this Report presents the 1951 population according to religions. Muslims constitute over 99 per cent of the total population in all six districts of the Rawalpindi Division, in the Dera Ghazi Khan, Jhang, Montgomery, Multan and Muzaffargarh districts of the Multan Division and in the Bahawalpur State. Lyallpur and Sheikhupura have 97 and 95 per cent Muslims, respectively while in each of the remaining three districts of Lahore, Gujranwala and Sialkot they are 94 per cent.

The number of Caste Hindus in the Punjab who are nationals of Pakistan is 1.680 and there are 1,076 in the Bahawal· pur State. The Scheduled Castes have a total population of 18,70 in the punjab and' 11,595 in the Bahawalpur State while the persons belonging to other communities number 4,00,782 and 2,074 of whom 4,00,543 and 2,074 respectively are Christians who represent about 2 per cent of the total population of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. They were chiefly enumerated' in the districts· of Gujranwala, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sialkot and Lyallpur.

Due to the mass migration of population at the time of the partition of India in 1947 the number of Caste Hindus and Sikhs who elected to remain in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State was infinitesimal and therefore it does not seem worthwhile to discuss the variations in their numbers in relation to the past censuses. Statement 3-G gives the religious comparison of the Muslims excluding Muhajirs and Christians for the last two censuses.

Figure 3.3 illustrates the religious distribution in the province as a whole as also in the Lahore and Sialkot districts and the cities of Lahore and Lyallpur.

3.13 Muhajirs in districts. The term 'Muhajir' was defined in the Code of Census procedur of Part II to mean a person who has moved into Pakistan as a result of partition or for fear of disturbances connected therewith. The import of this definition does not appear to have been clearly understood by some

enumerators and/or respondents and it seems that in many cases the children born in Pakistan to refugee parents have been classified as Muhajirs. The number of Muhajir children below the age of four years enumerated in 1951 is 483 thousands and since the main flow of the refugees was in 1947 and 1948 many of these children must have been born in Pakistan.

Of the 53 lakhs (hundred thousands) Muhajirs enumerated at the time of this Census about 49 lakhs,were in the Punjab and 4 lakhs in the Bahawalpur State. In the districts of Lyallpur. Lahore, Montgomery, Sheikhupura, Multan, Gujranwala and Sialkot of the former and in the district of Bahawalpur of the latter they constitute from 25 to 46 per cent of the total population.

in the urban population. The decline in the cases of the Shakargarh and Narowal tahsiIs of the Sialkot district and Min

chinabad tahsil of the Bahawa}pur dist~

rict is due to their geographical situation and unfavourable physical features. The Shabpur tahsil has been declining since the transfer of the district headquarters

to Sargodha and in the case of Pindigheb

and Isakhel it appears that the Muhajirs were not attracted by these out-of-theway and dry hilly tracts in sufficient

numbers.

3.15. Localities of specially high and specially low density. There are sixteen

tahsils whose density is above 500 against the provincial density of 302. The first five are Lahore, Sialkot, LyaUpur, Daska

and Gujrat. The Biloch-Trans Frontier Tract and Raja~pur tahsil in the 'Dera Ghazi Khan district, Leiah and Kot Addu in the Muzaffargarh district and Bhakkar in the Mianwali district have the lowest densities ranging between 11

and 95. In the Bahawalpur State the highest density is 276 in the Bahawalnagar tahsils of the Bahawalpur district closely followed with 243 by the headquarters tahsil of the Rahimyarkhan district.

The density in the remaining tabsils

ranges between 29 and 174; the former being the density of the Abbasia Colony tahsil of the Rahimyarkhan district. This is a small colony which has sprung up recently. As has already been explained the highest pressure on land is in the localities which have favourable means

of cultivation and ensure good crops

. while the placeswhich are desolate and

barren tracts have the lowest density.

SECTION D-HOUSING.

3.16. Correlation of houses and population. For the purposes (If this Census the term 'household' was defined as a collection of persons living and eating in one mess with their resident dependents,

relalives, servants and lodgers, who normally reside together'. In other words the unit was the commensal, family and not the home-stead or the enclosure. In order to ensure that no place occupied, or capable of occupation by human beings was missed during

enumeration it was arrangen that

all enumerators should number the houses and prepare Household Lists for their blocks and from the data so collected Table H-Housing published as subsidiary Table I at the end of this chapter has been compiled. This Table shows separately for the rural and urban area in each district the number of households and rooms; the average number of p~rsons per households and per

room; the percentage of congested households, i.e., households baving more than 5 persons per room,

and 'pukka' houses. The number of persons per household varies from place to place though it is higher in urban than in rural areas. The a verage in citie.s and towns ranges between 4 and 6 except in Lahore, Sialkot, Multan, Sargodha, Mianwali, Mandi Bahauddin and Wazirabad where it works out to 8 or more

persons per household. Mianwali heads

the list with 14 persons per household

but the veracity of this information

seems doubtful. The towns of Dajal,

Taunsa, Keror, Pindigheb, pind Dadau


Khan and a few others have not more than 3 persons per household. Many of tbese towns have been declining in population since long. In rural areas the average number of persons per bousehold ranges from three to five except in the Montgomery district where it is seven. Both in rural and urban areas the a verage of occupants per room mostly works out from two to four except in Lyallpur rural area where it is five. The highest percentage of congested households is in certain towns in the Lyallpur, Montgomery and Multan districts. It will be noticed that all three are colony districts.

Figur(3.S illustrates the population of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State by size of dwellings,

3.17. Types of Houses. The urban localities have a large proportion of 'pukka' houses throughout the Punjab and BahawaIpnr State. In the villages 'pukka' houses are much less in number and the bulk of the rural popUlation lives in mud-houses, hut!: and ,other similar structures. The percentage of 'pukka' houses is lowest in the rural areas of the Dera Ghazi Khan, Jhang a~d ~ahawalpu.r districts.

4.1-Introductory: This Chapter prtsents some aspects of the urban and rural population of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State manifest from the data collected at the time of the Census taken in 1951. They" lay- out of the arrangements fQr taking that Census is described in Parts I and II of the Code of Census Procedure, 1950 and need not be reproduced here in detail. Suffice to say that the whole territory to be covered by the census was divided into charges, circles and blocks; a block being the smalLest census area generally comprising a contisuous collection of not more than 150

houses in urban areas and a village in rural areas. The" term 'urban area' included the cities (places with not less than one lakh "inhabitants) towqs, all municipalities, and any other continuous collections 0(- houses inhabited' by not less than 5,000 persons and baving uman' characteristics.

4.2 Classes of towns: The urban population of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State at th~ 1951 Census was 34,04,218 and 1,94,557 respectively. Keeping in view the recommendations of the Populations Commission of the United

(52 )

URBAN AND RURAL POPULATION 53

Nations Organisations and the special conditions prevailing in Pakistan the undermentioned classification of cities and towns has been adopted for Table 2. Towns and Cities :-

Class I (cities) - 1,00,000 or over inhabitants. Class H 25,000 and under 1,00,000. Class III .. 10,000 and under 25,000. Class IV .. 5.000 and under 10,000.

It may be mentioned that the population . figures in this Table, unlike those shown in Table I-A, do not include persons claiming nationalities other than Pakistani.

Class I contains six cities, namely Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Lyallpur, Sialkot and Gujranwala and their population including that of the Cantonments adjoining Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and Sialkot forms 51 per cent of the urban population of the Punjab. Class II includes 15 towns, of which 14 are in the Punjab and account for 18 per cent of its urban population. There are 42 and 55 towns of Classes III and IV of which 36 and 51 are in the Punjab constituting 16 and 11 per cent of the total urban population, respectively. The remaining 4 per cent of the urban population in the Punjab is made up of 21 places which were treated as urban areas at the time of the enumeration but cannot be classified as Class IV towns because the number of their inhabitants is less than 5,000. The Bahawalpur State has one Class II town which contains 21 per cent of its urban population. The number of Class III and IV towns in the State is 6 and 4, respectively, comprising 45 and 13 per cent of the urban population while the remaining 21 per cent

consists of unclassified 13 towns with less than 5,000 population.

It will be seen that by a steady increase the urban population has doubled its proportion in the last 50 years. Starting at 9 per cent in Punjab and 6 per cent in the Bahawalpur State in 1901 it was 18 and 11 per cent, respectively, in 1951. This growth of urban population is due to the development of industry, commerce and trade in and near the towns and cities by which the rural

population, both well-to-do and otherwise, has been attracted by the lure of wealth to shift to urban areas. The fragmentation of agricultural holding due to the laws of inheritance has been taking place continuously since long with resultant decrease in the earning ~ower of the rural population. The force of this economic factor also has been driving vilbgers to towns. In addition there has been a regular flow of artisans moving to towns and cities in search of employment. The increased measures of security coupled with the expansion of medical, educational and transport facilities too have been responsible for this migration to urban IGCalittes. Finally the increase is due, to no small extent, to the influx of Muhajirs of whom not less than onethird Bocked into the urban areas due largely to the better opportunities for their economic rehabilita tion. The trend of urbanization on the whole is controlled by the economic forces and these cities and towns which offered better prospects have been growing faster than others. Lahore and LyaUpur are typical instances. Statement 4-B illustrates the extent of migration in the six districts of the Punjab containing the cities of Lahore, Rawalpindi. Multan, Lyallpur, ~i~~Qt and Gujranwala. The figures for the cities are shown in italics.

Lahore has continued to maintairl the first pJace. Ra walpindi, which had declined by one step in 1931, regained its former position in 1941 and continues to occupy the second place. Multan has remained third except in 1931 when it had deprived Rawalpindi of the second position. Lyallpur has developed rapidly and by securing the fourth place at the 1951 Census it has moved above Sialkot and Gujranwala. Sargodha has also gone up by two steps.

Certain useful data in respect of these towns including their density is given in Subsidiary Table 1, at the end of this Ch.apter. It must bowever be mentioned that the density has been ealoulate4

on the basis of the figures of area furnished by the local authorities, which are incorporated in Table I-A published in Part II of the Report. A scrutiny of these figures has. revealed that in many cases arable lands lying within the municipal limits have been taken into account although there is no likelihood of their being built upon for a long time to (. orne. A typical instance of this is prov ided by the Corporation of the City of Lahore, including Lahore Cantonment whose area is shown at 128 square miles. In point of fact the Lahore City including Cantonment is fairly congested but its density is:'lower_ on account of the inclu~ion in ... the _ area_figures of the land '\1nder cultivation which lies within 14e limits of the Corporation. On the other hand instances are l10t rare wh~e:

the ground covered by buildings only has been shown as the area, resulting in high density figures. It appears that the local authorities applied widely differing yardsticks in determining the area of the urban localities. Due to this reason it has not been deem.!d advisable to give a comparative discussion on the density of the different urban places.

4.5 Religious Composition.-After the partition of India in 1947, the composition of population by religons has undergone a complete metamorphosis in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. With the departure of Hindus and Sikhs en bloc on the one hand. and the influx of Muslim Muhajirs on the other. the whole territory now consists of MUlJlims with ~


sprinkling of Chiristians and others. There are certain places in the Multan and Rawalpindi divisions where the entire population is Muslim. The Christians comprise 2.3 per cent of the total population and, as in the case of the Muslims, the rural element predominates and is 82 and 74 per cent of the total population of the Christians in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, respectively. In the Punjab the Christians are mainly distributed over th e Gujranwala, Lahore, Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Lyal1pur, Montgomery, Multan and Rawalpindi districts while in the Bahawalpur State they are scattered all over. For the figures of the rema1DlDg religions the Reader may refer to Table 6·Religion published in Part II of this Report.

4.6 Literacy and Educational Levels.-The details of literacy and educational levels will be discussed in detail in Chapter 7 but some salient features thereof are mentioned here. The number of persons enumerated as literates in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State stands at 3,404 and 259 thousands, respectively, of whom 660 thousands reside in the six cities and two' selected towns of the Punjab and 16 thousands in Bahawalpur Municipality and Cantonment. Elsewhere too the urban population has a higher proportion of literates than the population in rural areas. Similarly the proportion of persons possessing higher educational qualifications is more in urban localities, . Of the 195 thousand literates who declared themselves to have p'ssed the Matriculation Examination, about 84 thousands i.e. 43 per cent were

residents of the six cities and three selected towns of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. The position in respect of other higher educational levels is not different. Further details regarding these matters will be found in Table 8-Literacy and 9B-Educational Levels published in Part II of this Report.

4.7 Individual Cities and TOWDS.-At the 1941 Census there were four cities namely, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and Sialkot, which had more thaD one lakh population each. They maintained their pOSition in the 1951 Census and two more cities, viz., Lyallpur and Gujranwala entered this category. The chief factors which have contributed to the growth of the papulation of these six cities will now be discussed and mention will also be made of three important towns selected for separately tabulation of data, namely, Sargodha, Ihang-Maghiana and BahawaIpur.

(a) Lahore.-The Corporation of the

City of Lahore and Lahore Cantonment

together cover an area of about 128

square miles, which has a total population

of 8,49,476 and is the largest city in the Punjab. The city has grown consistently

since 1901 and shows an increase of 319

per cent over the last 50 years. Being

the headquarters of the Provincial Go

vernment, and of the North Western Railway and its extensive Workshops,

there is a big staff of officials which forms

an important part of the population of the town. The development of commerce, trade and industry has aiSQ


contributed significantly to the growth of the City. Many commercial and business firms of repute have their head offices in Lahore and as a result the town is easily the most important inland commercial centre in West Pakistan. Several indusries have been established during the last fifty years mostly to meet the provincial demand. The average number of workers employed in these industries is about 31,800. Lahore is also the most important educational centre in the whole of Pakistan. Besides several Schools and Colleges teaching arts and science subjects there an~. tw 0 well equiped Medical Colleges, one Engineering College; one Law College and Technical Institutes for several trades, The Punjab University which is the oldest and biggest University in Pakistan has its headquarters at Lahore. All these institutions have helped to increase the population of Lahore. Finally tIle incoming Muhajirs who were far in excess of the outgoing Hindus and Sikhs in 1947 accounted for the marked rise over the last decade.

It will be interesting to give some information about the form of local SelfGovernment in Lahore. There is a Corporation consisting of 68 members, which look s after public health, sanitation, education, maintenance of roads and other civic matters. The es timateg income of the Corporation from rates, taxes and other sources for the year 1952-53 was Rs. 1,20,06,230 against Rs. 1,18,63,100 earmarked as expenditure on the various services. There is also an Improvement Trust which carries out such structural improvement s in the old city as become possible from time to

time and simultaneously coordinates new extension ~chemes. Recently the Trust has developed two fairly extensive areas which have been named Gulbarg Colony and Samaabad. Both of these stand out as goed examples of modern town planning. 1 he local administration in the Cantonment is under a Cantonment Board.

(b) Rawalpindi :-The City of Rawalpindi including the Cantonment has a population of 2,37,21!) against 87,68 n 1901 which gives an increase of 171 per cent during the last five decades. Rawalpindi is situated on the main line of the North Western Railway and al50 on the Grand Trunk Road running from Lahore to Peshawar. Due to the proximity of bills the climate is much more congenial than in other parts of the Punjab. Being the headquarters of the Military organization, as well as an important centre of Civil administration the, city has developed immensely in size, popUlation and commercial importance. The rise in population in the last decade is due also to a large number of Muhajirs who have settled in the town. Rawalpindi has also been developing in the field of industry. It has several industrial undertakings, the most recent important addition being a modern textile Mill. The refinery of the Attock Oil Company is situated at the outskirts of the town. The average number of workers employed in different industries is 9,400. Rawalpindi also has an adequate number of CoUeges and Schools which are all affiliated to the Punjab D,niversi ty. The local administration is in the charge of an elected municipal (,;omOlittee in the City and a partly

URBAN AND RUltAL POPULATION 59

elected and partly appointed Board in the Cantonment. The jurisdiction of these two administrative units is well defined and there is no overlap

pfug. An Improyement Trust on the

pattern Qf the one at Lahore has been

recently constituted.

(c) Multan:-The popula~ion of Mul

tan City including the Cantonment is

t90,122 and like most other towns in the Punjab it has more than doubled in the last fifty years. The influx of refugees accounts partly for the increase in the

last decade. Multan is an important rail

and road centre and is a celebrated historical town. It has ancient handloom, textile and pottery cottage industries. The mltnber of handlooms is 53,000. A

modern textile mill has been installed

recently. Other industries have also been

established and the average number of

workers employed in different factories

and mills is 6.700. Multan has advanced

in the field of education as well. It has

several Schools and Colleges, the latest

addition being the Nishter Medical College. Climatically Multan is hotter than many parts of the . province but not

unhealthy. Its average annual rainfall is

5.74 inches.

(d) Lyallpur :-Comparatively speaking Lyallpur is a new town which came into being in the beginning of this century.

It has now a population of 1,79,144. which considering that its population in

1901 was 9,]71 constitutes a remarkable

increase during the last five decades.

This city, which was meant to be a market town in the Chenab Colony, has prospered and expanded in all directions with the result that, besides being a leading market for the agricultural produce, it is in the front rank of the industrial and commercial towns. It can boast of three modern textile mills while the spinning section of one more mill has started producing yarn. Olher industries are also being established. The average number of workers employed in different factories and mills is about 8,000. Lyallpur is an important handloom centre as well with about 15,000 handloorns. The city has not lagged behind in other respects. Apart from the ordinary educational institutions the Punjab Agricultural Colleg~, which teaches agriculture on scientific lines; is located there. The city is a railway junction and is also served by good roads. As a cumulative effect of all these factors Lyallpur has been growing consistently. A very large number of Muhajirs have bcen rehabilitated in the town.

(e) Sialkot:~The population of this city including the Cantonment is 1,67,543 (The figures in Table 6 Part II are exclusive of refugee camp). The popula- . tion has increased steadily since 1901 and shows an increase of 189 per cent over the past five decades. Sialkot is world famous for its sp orts goods industry whose products are exported to many countries. The town has also a well established industry for the manufacture of surgical instruments. The Government Surgical and Allied Trade Development Centre has been expended with a view inter alia to standardising and developing this


industry. The average number of persons employed in different industries is 4,000. Sialkot is welt connected with other cities and markets by rail and roads and has a good climate. The local municipal committee is in charge of the sanitation and public health in the city. In the Cantonment these services are provided by the Cantonment Board.

(f) Gujranwala:- The present population of this city is 1,20,860. (The figures in Table 6. Part II are exclusive of refugee camp) which shows an increase of 314 per cent as compared to its 1901 population. Gujranwala lies on the main line to Peshawar and also On the Grant Trunk Road. It has many metal works and rice-husking mills, a sugar mill, some tanneries and other industrial con<\erns. The average number of persons employed in different industries is 2,500. The number of handlooms is also fairly large.

(g) Sargodha :-Sargodha is the headquarter:; town of the Shabpur district.

I The town has grown consistently during the last five decades and has now a population of 78,463. Like Lyallpur, Sargodha is a colony town and is well connected with other cities and markets by rail and roads. It is the chief centre of trade in the Jhelum colony. In the industrial field also Sargodha is making a steady progress.

(h) Jhang-Maghiana:-The two towns of lhang and Maghiana are adjacent to each other and form a single municipality. lhang-Maghiana ha~ a population of 73,402 which shows an increase of 201 per cent over its population in 1901.

Quite a large number of refugee weavers from India have settled in the town. The means of communication with other parts of the Punja b are satisfactory.

(i) Bahawalpur:-The popUlation of Bahawalpur including the Cantonment is 41,646 which shows an increase of 125 per cent as compared to 1901. This town is the seat of the Babawalpur State Government and occupies a prominen t position on that account. lts population bas Increased also as a result of the Sutlej Valley Project. Bahawalpur lies on the main railway line from Lahore to Karachi and is an important trade and industrial centre. Besides other educational institutions the town possesses the Sadiq Egerton College which is affiliated to the Punjab University.

4.8 Decaying Towns.:-While the urban population as a whole has been jncreasing a few old towns ill the Punjab have declined in population. The decline appealS mainly to be due to the fact that after the partition the Muhajirs did not go to these towns in sufficient numbers to replace ihe departure of Hindus and Sikhs. Most of these tOwns are out of the way and held few prospects for the rehabilitation of the Mubajirs. Statt:ment 4. D shows the population of these towns at the last two censuses with the percentage of decrease.

4.9 Villages: Subsidiary Table II at the end of this Chapter gives the number of villages in each tahsil of the Punjab

and Bahawalpur State as also the average population and area per village. A village generally means any area (as distinct from a collection of habitations) for which a separate record of rights exists, or which has been separately assessed t() land revenue, or which may be specially declared to be an "estate', i, e., a village, by Government. The size of a village varies from district to district and depends upon the nature' of the soil, the means of irrigation and the climatic conditions. The average size of a village in colony dis~ tricts ranges from two to three square

. miles, The districts like Sialkot, which have extensive well irrigation, have Comparatively small villages whose average size is below one square mile. In the sandy and desolate districts of Mianwati and Muzaffargarh and the hilly tracts of Dera Ghazi Khan and Campbell pur dis~

tricts the grouping of the villages is arbitrary owing to the broken nature of the country and sandy lands. Villages Lists for each district of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State showing the name , area, popUlation number of houses and other local details have been published separately by tqe census organisation.

4.10 Density of population in rura) , , . \

. areas. The figures of rural density are given in the last column of Table I-Population and these are compared with 1941 Census in Subsidiary Table III. The rural density for the Punjab at this Census is 250 persons per square mile; Lahore Division with 429 persons is most thickly populated, Multan and Rawalpindi Divisions have a deflsity of 231 and 205, respectively. The tahsils with particularly high rural density are


all five tahsils of the Sialkot district; Lyallpur, Jaranwala and Sumandri tahsils of the Lyallpur district; Okara tahsil of the Montgomery district and the heddquarters tahsils of the Lahore and Gujrat districts. The sufficiency of rainfall augmented by irrigation by wells and the fertility of soil ensure good crops in the Sialkot district; hence the high density in all its five tahsils. The Lyallpur district is almost entirely a flat plain of fertile loam and the cultivated area is practically all canal irrigated. The conditions in the Okara tahsil of the Montgomery district are similar. Gujrat tahsil has heavy rainfall which helps to raise good crops. Lahore tahsil is mostly served by canals and a considerable part of it is under cultivation.

The desolate tracts comprising the three tahsils of Mianwali district, Kot Adu and Leiah tahsils of the Muzaffargarh district and Khushab tahsi~ of the Shahpur district are sparsely popu~'lted

and their density is not more than 1:;0. The low densities of Rajanpur (63), Jampur (106) and the headquarters tahsil of the Dera Ghazi Khan dirtrict (103) are due partly to the fact that the Sulaiman Range extends into this district and

partly to insufficiency of water for irrigation. Pindlgheb and Talagang tahsiIs

of the Campbellpur district have a density in the neighbourhood of 100 as the

rains there are uncertain and about 2J3rds of the total area is uncultivated, With the exception of the Rahimyar Khan and

Bahawalnagar tahsils which have favour

able means of canal irrigation, the

Bahawalpur State has a low density,

4.11. Agricultural Occopations: For the collection of data in raspect of Census Question No. 1 I the Enumerators

had to enquire the usual main occupation and subsidiary means of livelihood of

the respondents. A'tiJler of soil' was to be asked further questions regarding his

agricultural statu.;'. The results of these investigations have been compiled in

Table 14-Agricultural Labour Force and

Cultivators' Land Tenure and 11-C-Subsidiary Occupations of the Agricultural Labour Force. These tables are pub

lished in Part II of the Report. The

self-supporting Agricultural Labour

Force in the Punjab is 36,66 thousands

(35,64 tbousand males and 1,02 thousand

females) of whom 2,69 thousands reside

in urban areas mostly in the districts of

Lahore (82), Rawalpindi (40), Shahpur

(27) and Multan (21). The Bahawalpur

State bas 4,11 thousand persons of tbis

category of whom 22 thousands live in

urban areas. For further details in this

respect the Reader may refer to Table

ll-Labour Force published in Part II of

this Report. In the self-supporting Agricultural Labour Force the number of

cultivators is 34,34 thousands in the

punjab and 3,88 thousands in the

Babawalpur State while the rest are

engaged in miscellaneous occupations

connected with agriculture such as herdsmen, animal breeders, landless agricultural workers, orchard and nursery men,

malis (gardeners), dairy farmers and

poultry keepers. About 48 thousand

cultivators belong to 'Other Religions' and the rest are Muslims.


4.12 Subsidiary Occupations: Out of

the Agricultural Labour Force 1, 94,453

and 6,752 persons in the Punjab and BahawaJpur State, respectively, have in addi

tion to their main occupations, Don-agri

cultural subsidiary occupations, such as

weavers, spinners, blacksmiths, mechanics!

carpenters, sawyers. tailors, cooks, domestic servants etc., as detailed in Table ll-C pu blished in Part II of the Report. The number of females reporting subsidiary occupations is generally negligible. Further notes on Agricultural and Subsidiary Occupations are in Chapter 9-Economic Activities.

Birth place

STATISTICAL DATA

Table 5-Birthplace

10-Nationality of Non-Pakistanis

lOA-Afghan Powindahs

19A-Muhajirs' Origins

5.1 Introductory: The enumerators .had been instructed to ascertain from

each respondent whether he was born in ·fhe district of enumeration, and where the reply was in the affirmative to place

a tick mark in space 3 of the Census Slip. In other eases he had to write the name of the district, if the place of birth was in Pakistan or India, and to record the name of the country only if the place of

birth was elsewhere. The Census Slip were sorted by hand and the informa~ion

so obtained has been compiled· in Table ·5-Birtbp1ace of which Section 1 gives the

statistics of birthplaces for the Punjab and Bahawafpur State as a whole and also by the administrative divisioD5 in the case of the former. Sections 2 to 5 give the same information for each district of the Punjab and BahawaJpur S tate, Section 6 furnishes the data ia respect of the sekcted cities and towns and Section 7 shows persons born in other parts of the IndoPakistan Sub-con.tinent.

(71)

5.2 Present Composition of Popula. tion: . Of the 188 lakhs 14 thousand per

sons enumerated in. the Punjab, as many as 137 lakhs 3'9 thousand· were born in the Punjab; 16 fhOlfsand in the Bahawalpur State, 81 thousand in

other provinces of Pakistan; 49 Iakhs 70 thousand in other places of the Indo

Pakistan Sub· continent and the remaining 8 thousand in other parts of the world. In the case of the Bal:\awalpur State, out of 18 lilkhs 23 thousand persons enumerated there, 12 lakhs 54

thousand were born in the State; 1 lakh

38 thousand in the Punjab; 7 thousand in other provinces of Pakistan; 4 Iakhs 23 thousands in other places of the IndoPakistan Sub-continent and one thousand . in other parts of the world.

Subsidiary Table 1 at the end of

Fhis Chapter indicates the Birthplaces of

persons enumerated in all districts of the Punjab and Bahawa1pur Stat~. The

72 BIRTH PLACE

overall position is that 69 percent of the population of the Punjab was born in the district of enumeration; 26 per cent in the Indo-Pakistan Sub-continent and 5 per cent elsewhere. In the case of the Babawalpur State the percentage of persons born in the State is also 69 per cent.

The figures for the Bahawalpur State have been published as a whole for the reason that at the time of tbe enumeration a vast majority of the enumerators and the respondents did not distinguish between the two districts of the State and as a result the birthplace of the respondents was not recorded districtwise.

.; A reference to Table 19A-Muhajirs Origin, will show that in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State the number of Muhajirs is 52 lakhs 81 thousand while the number of persons reported to have been born in other parts of the Indo-Pakistan Sub-continent is 53 lakhs 93 thousand. It seems necessary to explain the reasons for this difference of I lath 12 thousand persons. All such persons are not muhajirs as many families will have come to Paki$tan for reasons unconnected with partition and in many cases it is merely coincidental that a person was born away from the home district. Prior to the Partition there used to be frequent inter marriages between musHms residing in the Punjab (Pakistan) and Muslims in the districts now in the Punjab (India). According to a widespread custom requiring YDung wives to go to their parents' homes for their first confinement many women married in the Punjab (Pakistan) gave birth to their children in the

Punjab (India) and the childern so born though not refugees must perforce be included in the figures of the persons born outside the Punjab. Besides there are the children born to non-muhajir parents belonging to the Punjab (Pakistan) and the Bahawalpur State whilst visiting or residing in places now in India.

5.3 Persons born within the Province: Subsidiary Table I at the end of this Chapter inter alia gives the figures of persons born in the districts of enumeration and those born in other districts of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. It will be observed that there is a marked population drift towards the colony districts, viz., Lyallpur, Montgomery, Multan, Shabpur and Sheikhupura which is due primarily to the expansion of canal irrigation. Next in importance in respect of ioter-district movement are Lohore, Gujranwala , Sialkote and Rawalpindi. The headquarters of these districts are flourishing industrial and commercial centres and there is a continuous flow of migrants from the adjoining districts. The movement of popultaion to the more backward disrticts of Muzaffargarh, Mianwali and Dera Ghazi Khan is negligible. The Bahawalpur State has been a centre of attraction during the last two decades on account of colonization as a result of the Sutlej Valley Project.

S.4 Persons born in other Provinces of Pakistan and in India. I now proceed to examine the figures of the enumerated population born in other provinces of Pakistan and in· India. The number of persons born in other provinces of Pakistan is 80,906 in the Punjab and 5,306 in

BIRTH PLACE 73

the Bahawalpur State, representing 0,4 and OJ per cent respectively, of the total population. The North-We,t Frontier Province's contribution is the largest with 68 thousand persons in the Punjab (who were mostly enumerated in the districts of Rawalpindi. Lahore. CampbelJpur, Mianwali and Sialkot) and 3 thousand in Bahawalpur State.

The number of persons born at other places in the Indo-Pakistan Sub-continent (including the Muhajirs referred to in paragraph 5.6' below) is 49 lakhs 70 thousand and 4 lakhs 24 thousand in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, respecti.vely. Of the former 31 lakhs 38 thousand now reside in the districts of Lyallpur. Lahore. Montgomery and Multan while the rest are spread over the remaining districts of the Punjab, the smallest number being in the districts of Muzaffargarh. MianwaIi and Dera Ghazi Khan.

5.5 Pesrons born abroad: The number of Pakistanis born outside IndoPakistan Sub-continent, resident in the Punjab, is 8 thousand; 5 thousand born in Muslim countries, 2 thousands in other Asiatic countries and the remaining one thousand in Non-AsIatic countries. The Bahawalpur State has about one thousand persons of these three categories. Pakistanis born abroad are scattered all over the Punjab and Bahawalpur State and have shown no spe cial tendencies to settle in any perticular district.

5.6 Muhajirs and Repatriates: Muhajirs represent nearly one fourth of the total population of the Punjab and Saha-

walpur State. Their distribution over the variou~ districts, and certain other relevant dt!tails, are given in Statement 5.1\.

Of the total 49 lakh Muhajirs in the Punjab, 31 lakhs are spread over the districts of Lahore, Lyallpur, Montgomery and Multan. The Bahawalpur State has 3,73 thousand Muhajirs. As already mentioned the circumstances immediately foHowing the Partition of India in 1947 led to a mass movement of population. Many Muslims had to leave India at once, in many cases literally over-night. An unfortunate consequence of the confusion so caused was that a large number of women and children were abducted and forcibly detained. A special Recovery Department has been working since nearly five years which has so far -succeeded in repatriating to the Punjab (Pakistan) about 17,500 such women and children.

The eight selected cities of the Punjab have accommodated 8 lakhs and 89 thousand Muhajirs, while Bahawalpur Municipality has given refuge to 17 thousand. Statement 5.B. shows the number of the Muhajirs in each of these cities and towns together with their total population.

The vast majority of the Muhajirs now in the Punjab have migrated from the North-West zone of India. For fuller details the Reader may refer to Table 19A-Muhajirs Origin, published in Part II of this Report.

s'ittds were engaged in diverse retail trades; two thousands were employed as labourers of miscellaneous categories and the rest were doing odd jobs. In additon th'e're were 795 Non-Pakistanis mainly eltgaged'in trade and commerce of whom 412 were self supporting and 323 were dependents. For further details, the Reader may refer to Tables 10 and lOA, p'tlblish'ed in Part II of the "Report.

5.8 Main Movements of Population: The movements of the urban population bave been dealt with in Chapter 4 and ~ not::be reife'atM. The rural popula. tkJn, wftteh forms 82'and 89'per cent of the total population of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, respectively, is almost entirely

either directly or indirectly dependent on the land. A salient feature of this population as a whole has been its tendency to stay at home due largely to the self-sufficiency of the rural economy. The joint family system and early marriages have contributed to this inclination of the peasants to remain in their ancestral homes. Subsidiary Table 2 at the end of this Chapter shows the figures of the persons born in the district of enumeration as also taeir percent~ge fo the total population during

.the 1911, 1921, 1931 and 1951 C~nsuses.

This information is not available for'the 1941 Census. It will be seen tliat in 1931 the . percentage of persons born in the district of enumeration was over 80 in all districts except Sheikhupura, Sialkot, Lyallpur and Montgomery where it was 70. 73,64 and 74 respectively. The figures of the districts of Dera GhilZi Khan, Jhang, Muzaffargarh, Campbellpur, Jhelum and Mianwali shoW that the number of persons born outside these districts was 4 per cent or less. Besides the reasons already mentioned this high percentage appears also to be due to the fact that these districts contain no attractions for outsiders such as colonization of irrigated lands, The figures for the 1951 'Census sho\v a higher percen tage 'oepersons born outside the district of enumeration in all cases. The rise is largely due to the resettlement of refugees in rural areas.

Chapter 6

Age, Sex, and Marital Stature

STATISTICAL DATA

Table 4. Age and Marital Status.

4.-A Orphans.

6.1 Introductory: For the purposes of recording the age in reply to Census Question No.2, the Enumerators had

been instructed to use the "Month"

space on the enumeration slip for infants

under one year and "years" space for

older persons whose age had to be re

corded in complete years at last birthday.

In the case of the respondents, who did

not know their ages. the enumerators had to estimate the age in single years upto 25 and to the nearest 5 years above

that age. For the age rturns all the slips were hand sorted excepL the slips

relating to the Non-Agricultural Labour

Force and the Defence Service'l, which were sorted at the Machine Sorting Centre, Karachi. In hand-sorting the slips were first divided into broad age groups 0-11. 12-24, 25-50 and 55 and over. These were then broken down into S-years groups, the group 25-54 being sorted on a sample basis in cases where

the districts/religion batches exceeded

50,000 slips. The sixe of the sample

varied according to the Sil~ of {h~ batch

from 75 pu cent for batches under 75,000 down to 20 per cent for bat~hes over

5,00,000 but was never 100's than 50,0:>0

slips. From the data so collected and sorted Table 4 -Age and Marital Status published in Part II of this Report has been compiled.

Before proceeding further with this

Chapter I deem it advisable to mention

one important relevant factor. It is difficult if not impossible for a layman to marshall the data regarding age strictly according to the technicalities of demography. I have no pretensions of being a demographic expert and therefore

In intend presenting the figures in crude form leaving more detailed analysis to be done by the technical exports into whose hands I hope the data will come.

6.2 Accuracy of age Returns: It will be

seen from Statement 6.A-l that the distri

bution in the various age groups into

which the slips were originally sorted is uneven_ There is a noticeable tendency

towards inflation in the age group 10-14 both in males and females. On the other hand there is a sudden decline in the age group 20-24. The heaping and shortages are due mainly to the respondents not

being sure of their ages. An overwhelmini majority of the enumerated public was illiterate and quite ignorant of their correct ages. At the same time nei

checking the ages stated by the resPQndents not could they assess the ages of the females and children most of whom were enumerated through the male mem

bers of their femiIies.

As a curnmulative effect of these drawbacks the age-groups in this 5 year,

presentation, must, like similar returns of previous censuses, be regarded as inaccurate. It may be mentioned that, as pointed out on page 125 of the Census

Report of 1931" unreliability in the

census age returns is not peculiar to this country. The age data has been 'carefully

examined by the statistical experts and it has been decided that only

the form broad age-groups shown in

statement 6.A-2 can be reg:Hded as sufficiently reliable to form any sure basis for drawmg conclusions. There might be a tendency were the figures to be published in the full 9atail in which they have

80 AGE, SEX AND MARITAL STATUS

been compiled, for their use to lead to wrong decisions. The pnnted tables are therefore confined to the

groups which can be regarded as reasonably reliable. The original compilations have however been preserved and copies can be made availiabJe, as application to the Government of Pakistan, for the use of Statis{icians and Students, but

they should only be used under expert guidance and with due caution.

6.3 Age Groups: Distribution of Population Statement 6.A·2 shows the distribution of the in broad age groups by sexes.

It will be seen that the children in age groups 0-9 constitute more than onc-

quaTter of the population; the next broad groups 10·39 account for more than half while the proportion of persons 60 years and over is 6 per cent. This general percentage distribution does not sh::>w any marked deviation either in the

sex-br;;:ak-down or in the district returns.

Figure 6.1 illustrates the distribution of the males and females by broad age groups for the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. This age and sex pyramid has been drawn on 10-yearsaverage age groups and it is the area of the "steps" which indicates their relative size.

6.4 Proportion of sexes Comparison with other places: The chart in Fig. 6.1 indicates that quite contrary to most Western countries, the punjab and Bahawalpur State have more males than females. The sexes of males over females at this Census was 13,06 thousands in the Punjab and 1,57 thousands in the Bahawalpur State. This higher ratio of males has been a trait of ;censuses here right from the start and must be accepted as factually correct. In spite of my best efforts it has not been possible for me to discover the reason:Jor the disparity between the two sexes and since it may 110t be quite appropriate to indulge in conjectural reasoning on the question I refrain from offering any comments. Statement 6-B gives the proportion of males per 1,000 females at the 1951Census and the past three censuses, while Statement 6.C compares our figures of sex ratio with those of other provinces of Pakistan.

It is not possible to compare this data with the past for the reason that similar information was not collected at any

previous census. 6.8 Longevity in different area: Hav

ing regard to the normal expectancy of


life in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State a life of 60 years can be considered as long. Statement 6-H shows by districts the proportions per mille of the persons who are 60 years and over.

The proportion of persons who are

a~ove the age of 70 years is 27 per mille in the Panjab and 24 in the Bahawalpur State while there were about 6,000 centenarians. The proportion of older people is highest in the· MinawaJi distric probably· for the reason that the dry climate of this area is conductive to

. - --longevity. rhe colony districts of Lyall-pur .and MuItan have also a fairly high proportion of old people due partly to their aridity and partly to the economic prosperity of the population. The lower figure in the case of 1 he Sheikhupura

district is probably due to waterlogging which causes malaria. I have not been able to discover why the Campbellpur district should have the lowest proportion of older people.

6.9 Main causes of death: In the

Punjab the deaths are recorded by the Public Health Department according to the classification shown in Statement 6-1 which also gives the numbers of deaths and tbe death rate per mi1le for the years 1948, 1949 and 1950.

- The Statement shows "fevers" as the chief cause of death. This is actually so though not necessarily to the extent shown by the figures as not infrequently deaths resulting from other diseases are ascribed to fevers due to the ignorance

"fthe persons preporting them. Amongst the fevers malaria takes the biggest toll. It usually occures in an epidemic form in the months of October, November and December particularly in the waterlogged areas and the low-lying tracts affected by floods. Since the partition deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis have increased particularly amongst the refugees as a result of unfavourable economic and other conditions. The Public Health Department is taking all possible measures to control diseases. It is regretted that similar information in respect of the Bahawalpur State is not available.

6.10 Marital condition by sexes in different age groups and by religion: The Marital condition of the population, that is, the numbers of the married, never married, widowed and divorced persons in the different age groups and by main religions is given district wise in Census Table No.4. Both in the Punjab and the Bahawalpur State the number of married person is 542 per mille. The proportion of married persons is 406 per mille in the Punjab and 412 in the Bahawalpur State. In the original 5 year sorting the proportion of married males or females is nil in the age groups, 0-4 and 5-9 and insignificant in the age group 10-14, showing that many early marriages are now uncommon in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. A study of the detailed data indica tes that generally women marry between the ages of 15 and 19 and men between 20 and 24.

for the 1931 and 195 t Censuses.

The proportion of married persons in the age groups 10-39 is now reduced in both the Muslim and Christian communities which would seem to indicate a general raising of the age of marriage.

It is noticeable lhat child marriage has disappeared in the 0-9 age group. The proportions of widowed persons in both

sexes show a sharp decline in all the age

groups.

9A-Years of Education

9B-Education Levels

19B-Educational Levels of Muhajirs

7.1 Definitions and their interpretations: For the purposes of this Census the term 'Literacy' was defined to mean a person who could read clear print intelligently, and the term 'able to write' meant persons who were able to write a simple and easy letter. Persons who are able to write a language were to be presumed to be able also to read it. The Enumerators had· been instructed to explain these standards to the respondents carefully to avoid any misunderstanding.

Anyone professing to be a literate person, in reply to Census Question No.8, had to be asked further questions regarding the details of his education

and from the data so secured it has been

possible to obtain the figures of persons still receiving education; the amount of education received by each person, whether still receiving education or not; and the number of persons who have achieved certain definite standards of education. The various categories of the standards of education about which information has been obtained are (1) 'Completed Primary School' namely persons who have reached the top Primary standard; (2) 'Passed Middle School Examination' both English and Vernacular; (3) 'Matriculation' meaning the last High School examination prior to joining College or University; (4) 'University Degree meaning the first Degree such as B.A.,B. Sc., M.B.B.S.,B.E., etc; and (5) 'Higher'

( 88 )

LITERACY AND EDUCATION 89

Degree' meaning M.A.M.Sc·.,M·D., etc. It may be mentioned that there are certain examination in classical and pakistan languages known as Maulvi Fazil, Munshi FaziJ and Adib Fazil for which diplomas are awarded by the Punjab University. An eleventh-hour attempt was made to secure the data in respect of such diploma holders separately, but in the short time then left for

. the enumeration it was not possible to make the necessary arrangements for a separate record and as a result the persons possessing these diplomas are included in one or other of the foregoing categories.

7.2 Ability to Read: The number of 'persons, who declared themselves as liter'lite at the 1951 Census is 34,04,222 (20,82, ·°310 males and 13,21,912 females) in the ;'PUhja band 2,58,887. (1,49,284 males and 1;-09,603 females) in the Bahawalpur State. As a child below the age of 5 year$ normally cannot read, the children of the age group of 0-4 years have not been taken into account in wroking out the proportions of literate persons shown in Statement 7. A.

For fuller details the Reader may refer to Table 8-Literacy published in Part II of this Report.

7.3 Ability to read the Holy Quran: The per~ons who are able to read the Holy Quran number 21,35,694 in the Punjab and ],64,428 in the Bahawalpur State giving 134 and 106 persons per mille, respectively, of the total popUlation of Muslims aged 5 years and above . The figures for each district, city and selected town are given in Table 8ALanguages of Literacy. They show that the persons who can read the Holy Quran are evenly distributed.

7.4 Literacy Percentages Comparison with past Censuses: Statement 7.B gives for each district in the Punjab and BahawaJpur State the proportions of literates per mille at the 1921, 193 I and 1951 Censuses. The information for the 1941 Census is not available.

It will be seen that in the Punjab the proportion of literates of all religions rose from 39 per mille in 1921 to 54 per mille in 1931. The proportion of literates amongst Muslims and Christian in 1931 was 30 and 70 per mille of their population, respectively.

During the 1941 Census sorting and tabulation was done on two per cent

sampling basis according to which the proportion of Muslim and Christian literates for the undivided Punjab was 70 and 78 per mille.

literates to the total population works out to 181 for all religions in the Punjab and 183 for Muslims and 85 for other religions mostly Christians. Excluding, however, the tiguers of children under 12 years of age the proportions per mille work out to 221 for Muslims and 98 for other religions, mostly Christians.

The propottion of literacy per mille in the Bahawalpur State rose from 16 in 1921 to 22 in 1931. The proportion of Muslims was 14 only while tha~ of the Christians was negligible. In the 1951 Census the proportion of literates in the Bahawalpur State was 142 per mille for all religions and 143 for Muslims and 13 for other religions mostly Christians. Excluding the figures of children under 12 years of age the proportions per mille work out to 191 for Muslims and 9 for other religions mostly Chris

!ians.

Further details will be found in Section 2 of Table 8- Literacy published in Part II of the Report.

While the measures taken by Government to fight illiteracy account for the increase both in the absolute figures and the proportions, the higher ratio is due also to the cbange in the definition of the term 'Literacy' which for this Census meant 'a person who was able to read a clear print, as against 'a person who could both read and write' previously.

Secondly there is amongst the persons now classed as "Literate" a proportion of people whose only claim to literacy is the ability to read the Holy Quran in

LJtERACY AND EDUOATION- 91

Arabic. Since the totals of the readers of eacb language have been added separately, it is not possible to say exactly how lar] this class is. However, Table 8-A hows that the total number of persons ho claimed to be able to read the HoI Quran was about 23 lakhs while the number claiming to read Urdu (including those who can write it) is over 17 'Iakhs. It would therefore seem that tbe pllrsons who can read nothing except the Holy Quran cannot exceed 6 lakhs., This excess would include persons who can read some other language but not Urdu. These are fairly numerous aiid reduce the class of people who can read nothing but the Holy Quran.

The increase in literacy since 1931 cau be seen by a comparison of the person who can read and write Urdu, since this is now the chief language of literacy io)he Punjab. In 1931,3 lakhs and 84 thousand Muslims in the whole undivided Punjab (excluding States) could read alid write Urdu. This was 3.44 per cent 0'" the total Muslim population over 5 yC)ars of age. In 1951 when the population is 97.7 per cent Muslim, Urdu can be read and written by 15 lakhs and 14 thousand ,persons in the Punjab (pakistan). This is 9.7 per cent of the population over 5 years of age and represents an increase in full literancy of over 250 per cent in twenty years, The increase in the literacy percentage of Muslims in the Punjab from 30 per mille in 1931 to ,"" 183 per mille in 1951 would appear therefore to be due to a real advance in full (read and write) literacy accounting for about half the increase and to the change

in definition (inclusion or persons who can only read) which roughly accounts for the other half.

Statem\!nt 7-C gives the number of ' literates per mill' in the cities and selected towns of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State for the 1921, 1931 and 1951 censuses. It will be seen that the ratio of literacy in these urban areas is much higher than that of general literacy shown in Statement 7.B.

7.S Distribution of Literacy: By localities by religion & by sex. Cens u::> Table NO.8-Literacy gives, for all districts, cities and selected towns in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, the total number of literate permos, with the figures of females in italic~, and shows the percentage of liceracy for the total population and


far each sex. In point of absolute figures

the Lahore district with 470 thousand literate persons ranks first but in terms of percentage it occupies the third place.

The proportion of literate persons to the total population in the Sialkot and

Gujranwala districts is 25.7 and 24.85 per cent as against 24.83 per cent in the Lahore district. Statement 7·D ranks

the various districts of the Punjab and Bahawa)pur State in the order of their

proportion of literacy and also shows the proportions of literate females.

It will be seen tbat the figures of lite

racy are highest in the districts of Sialkot, GujranwaIa, Lahore, Lyall pur, Rawalpindi, MuItan and Sheikhupura. The facilites for education as also the scope for employment of educated per

sons are admittedly better in urban than in rural areas and hence the higher percentage in the case of the first six districts which have the six cities bearing the same names. The proximity of Lahore, in the case of Sheikhupura district serves

as an incentive towards education. The districts of Shah pur, Mianwali, Cambell pur, Gujrat, Dera Ghazi Khan

in the Punjab and Rabimyarkhan in the Bahawalpur State, which do not contain any large urban areas, are backward in literacy. The overall literacy in the Rawalpindi Division is adversely affected by the conservative nature of its population particularly in regard to female education.

number and proportions of the persons who have passed the various standards of education giving figures for the administrative divisions in the case of the Punjab, and as a whole for the Bahawal

It will be seen that the proportion of persons who b,ave not gone above the Primary School is very high, particularly in the Rawalpindi Division. The percentage of persons whose studies finished after the Middle School examination is

also fairly high all over the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. The proportions decline still further in the higher educationallevels so much so that the percentage of literates who have obtained dagreee is only one.

Figure 7.1 illustrates the distribution of literacy and Levels of Education in

each district of the Punjab and Bhawal. pur State as also in the cities and selected towns based on the aggregate of their combined data. It is evident that ,the extent of literacy and standard of educational levels is much higher in these urban areas.

The persons who have received full time education number 23,97 thousands in the Punjab and 2,17 thousands in the

Bahawalpur State. Statement 7·G shows their proportion to the total literates. The difference is due to those who have acquired literacy at their homes or elsewher without any formal education.

rural areas. In non-compulsory area~

too Primary Education is free and stre

nuous efforts are being made to extend this facility even to the remotest corners

of the Punjab. Apart from the increase

in numbers an attempt has also been

made to improve the quality of Primary

Education by raising its course from four

to five years. The syllabi of schools

have been completely revised and new

text books prescribed throughout the Punjab. In order to meet the ever increasing demand of trained staff the

number of institutions turning out trained teachers has been increased. There has also been an addition of over one

hundred Secondary Schools which now

stand at 1946 for Boys and 214 for Girls. An appreciable progress has been made in tbe sphere of higher education as well. The number of Colleges, which was 18 immediately after the partition, now stands at 30. Finally through an organilled compaign for Adult Education 234 thousand adults have secured Literacy

Certificates during the last decade.

The Bahawalpur State also has been constantly trying to fight illiteracy. The number of Primary Schools in the State· has increased from 280 for boys and 2 for girls in 1941 to 519 for boys and 17 for girls. The number of students at

tendmg these schools is 35 thousands. The number of Secondary Schools too bas risen from 24 in 1941 to 134. Compulsory education has been introduced in 33 centres during the last decade. Lastly the State Government has been

devoting attention to Adult Education

because of the backwardness of the rural popUlation particularly in female education. Most of the rural people being poor and illiterate, are still obli vious to

the benefits of education and their outrook i~ confined almost entirely to their own surroundings and daily routine of life. But little by little through the efforts of the Education Department and otherwise, the old conservation and prejudices are dying out and it is hoped there will be a considerable improvement in the next few years.

8.1 Introductory.-For the purposes of this Census the word" Mother Ton

gue " was defined as the language spoken

from the cradle. In order to collect the n~essary data regarding Mother Tongues

the Census Slip was provided with sepa

rate columns for Arabic, Urdu, Bengali. English, Persian Pushto, Punjabi, Sindhi,

Baluchi and a tenth blank column in which any other language stated by the

r,espond~nt to be his mother tongue Wa~

to be recorded. According to Census Questions Nos. 6 and 7 the enumerator had to ascertain from every respondent the name of his mother tongue and tbat of eve~y other language, which he could commpnly speak and to place tick marks

in the appropriate columns on the Slip. Census Question No.8, was inserted to obt;;tin information regarding the languages w.hich a person eQuId read and write

99

or read only including the Holy Quran, The information so collected has been compiled in the first three tables mentioned above, which are published in Part II of this Report.

8.2 Clasification of Languages.-For Comparison with past statilltics, tbe various languages have been clasified in

a simple list which corresponds roughly

with the philological divisioll of Sir George Grierson's "Linguistic Survey

of India ". The main heads of classification used in Table 7 -Mother Tongue

belong to the Dravidian, Indo-Europeon

Semitic or Tibeto·Chinese Families. The classifications Jist, inter alia shows

the names and groups of tongues mentioned on the Census Slip for which the

figures had to be compiled and also

indicates how the lauguages entered in

the tenth column should be classified. In actual compilation the slips which showed a listed dialect were included in the main language with which the dialect is associated ; for example in the course of tabulation the figures of " Multani" dialect have been included under the

main head' Punjabi '.

8.3. Mother Tongues Distribution by Districts.-Table 7-Mother Tongues. published in Part II of this Report. gives the figures pertaining to the languages claimed as mother tongues in the punjab and Bahawalpur State and their districtwise breakdown. It will be seen that the bulk of the population. namely ],77,32,814 in the Punjab and 17.65,240 in the Bahawalpur State, has declared punjabi as the mother tongue. In other words out of every ],000 persons, 942 in the Punjab and 969 in the Bahawalpur State have Punjabi as their mother tongue. Next comes Urdu with 10,28,146 and 46.130 persons in the punjab and Bahawalpur State, i.e., 55 and 25 per mille, respectivety, These two languages taken together account for 99.7 and 99.4 per cent of the population in the punjab and Bahawalpur State.

Sections 2 to 5 of Table 7-Mother Tongues give the districtwise data of mother tongues for the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. Statement 8-A. shows the proportion of Punjabi and Urdu to

the total population in each district.

Other languages worthy of note are Pushtu and Sindhi, declared as mother tongue by 44,141 and 9,280 persons, respectively. Persons having· Pushtu as

Mianwali (2,752) and Rawalpindi (8,991) while out of the 9,280 persons claiming

Sindhi as their mother tongue as many

as 8,660 were enumerated in the Rahimyar Khan district which adjoins the Sind Province. The proportion of the remaining languages is insignificant.

8.4 Proportion of Languages understood in each district, cities and select

ed towns. Section 1 of Table 7 A-Speech, p.ublished in Part II of this Report gives for each district, city and selected town th!' number _ of persons who commonly speak and uqderstand the nine l~nguages printed on the Census Slip while Section 2,shows the percentage of each language

to. the total population. In the Punjab

96 per cent persons speak Punjabi; 16 per cent speak Urdu and 3 per cent speak English. In the Bahawalpur State their percentages are 97,13 and 3, respectively.

The proportion of the persons who can speak the remaining languages, namely

Arabic, Baluchi, Bengali, Persian, Pushtu and Sindhi is negligible. It may be added

that the Partition of India in 1947 has not disturbed the pas t supremacy of Punjabi in the Punjab and Bahawalpur Sate for the reason that the mother tongue of a vast majority of the Mubajirs, and that of the non-Muslims. who migrated to India, was Punjabi.

Taking the districts individually. the number of Punjabi speaking persons is

aboQt 97 per cent of the total population

in almost all districts of the Punjab and

Bahawalpur State except in the Multan, Mzaffargharh and Dera Ghazi Khan

districts they are 81,92 and 95 per cent

respectively. In Urdu the ditricts of Lahore (26), Multan (31), Muzaffargarh

(26) and Sialkot (19) show a higher ratio

than the Provincial percentage of 16. On the other hand the districts of Guj rat,

Campb~lIpur, Jhang, Mianwali and Ihelum show .low percentage ranging between .7 and 10. , English speaking

peoon~ .m. the.· Lahore district are 7 per

cent, that is, more than double the provincial percentage of 3 while in the districts of Mianwali and Montgomery their'number is less than one per cent. Almost all the cities have a fairly large

number of English and Urdu speaking persons, The percentage of the former in Lahore and Sialkot cities ,and Sargodha town is about 13. The percentage

of UrfIu speaking persons ranges between 32 and 43 in the cities of Lahore, Sialkot, Multan and Rawalpindi while at

Sargodha town it is as high as 64 per

cent.

8.5 Languages used as Media of Instructions. Statement 8-b shows, by ad

mfuistrative Divisions in the 'case of the

Punjab and as a whole in the case of the Babawalpur State, the number of persons who are able to read and those who are able to read and write Arabic, English, PerSIan and Urdu, the four languages

used as the medium of instruction.

It will be seen that the Lahore

Division, largely due to the Lahore City,

has more than 40 per mille of tbe total persons who are able to read and write

one or other of these four languages. The percentage is lower in the remaining

two Divsions because of the backward

districts of Dera Ghazi Khan, Muzaffar-. garh, Jhang, Mianwali and Campbellpur

which have comparatively a smaller number of person!, who know any of the four languages. Out of the two' districts of the Bahawalpur State the Rahimyar Khan district is more ba~k" ward in this respect .. The use of BaInchi, .

Bengali, Pushtu and Sindhi· -languages as· the media of instructiG!lfl in tbe "PunjaS; and Bahawalpur State is too insignificant to be discussed here. For further details the Reader may refer to Table 8A-Langu~ . ages of Literacy published in Part II of the Report.

Figure 8.1 illustrates for (1) the Pun

4,56,102 giving a percentage of about

9 and 2 respectively. The number of books printed in Urdu and English during the last decade is 5,835 and

1,681.

With the rise in literacy there is a

noticeable increase in the interest in reading newspapers. There are three

news agencies functioning at Lahore,

namely, the Associated Press of Pakistan, which acts as representative for the

Reuters and the Associated Press of America; the United Press of Pakistan, which supplies the news of Pakistan; and

the Star News Agency, which collects news in Pakistan mainly for the Middle East and South Asian countries and feeds the papers in Pakistan with news from those countries.

8.7 Correlation of languages with Levels of Education:-A reference to Table

9B-Educational Levels published in Part II of this Report will show that there are

in all 36,63 thousand literates in the

Punjab and Bahawalpur State including 8,50 thousand children below the age of 12 years. The various standards of literacy attained by them are shown in Statement 8-0.

Persons without any formal educational attainment comprise; firstly the

children numbering about 5,16 thousands (4,03 thousand males and 1,13 thousand females) reading in the lower classes of the Primary Schools; secondly, (and to no less extent) thl! persons who can read the Holy Quran only; and thirdly, those persons, though cOIllparatively small in number, who have attained literacy by private study. In the second category there are a number of persons who can read the H01y Quran but do not know Urdu or any other language. This

accounts for the comparatively smaller number of persons who are shown as literates in Urdu and Punjabi in. Table

8A-Languages of Literacy. The number of persons with Middle School and higher educational attainments is 6,15 thousands as against 4,30 thousands who are able to read and write English. The latter are less because English is not .one of the subjects taught in the Vernacular Middle Schools in rural areas.

9.1 Census Questions and their interpretation.-In the previous Censuses of the Indo-Pakistan Sub-continent the in

formation regarding Occupations used to be collected in a single conception cailed "Means of Livelihood" and tabulated under economic groups with certain

occupational sub-divisions- For the first time at this Census an attempt has been made to distinguish between "Occupation i.e., the kind of work done, and,

"Economic Group" i.e., the business, service, etc., in which that occupation is

pursued. In order to bring out this important distinction the Enumerators had been instructed to ask six question relating to the economic activities of the respondents. But before doing SO they

lOS

had to discover, by asking an eliminating

question, whether the respondents were self-supporting, which meant persons who supported themselves from their own income, salary or wages either in money

or kind, or were seeking to do so. It may be mentioned that children under

12 t~E~~:r! .. !!!1_t2.~~~~~~2 ~sl' ,g_~ .. tions. The six questions are given -below:-

Question 11 A-'What is usually your main pccupation?" The occupation for which the respondent was trained or skilled had to be described in the space provided on the Census Slip for the purpose.

Question 11 B -"Have you any SUbsidiary means of livelihood; if so, What '/" The secondary source of income, it any,

106 ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

in the whole or part of the preceding ycar whether or not the main Occupation could be followed was to be written in reply to this question. ' A further special question "Do you receive rent in cash or kind for land you own but which is tilled by others" was to be asked and its reply recorded in Column 14 of the Census Slip.

Question 12-"What was your actual main occupation in January 19511" Where the respondent declared that he did no work at all during the month he was to be asked further questions whether he was seeking employment in that month and if so, in what occupation,

Question 13-"ln what kind of industry. business or service did you work in January 1" , The Economic GrouP. namely the actual kind of business, service. etc.. in which the respondent had worked was to be recorded in consonance witb the Standard Industrial Classification, contained in Appendix F to the Code of Census Procedure, Part II.

QuestioI;l 14-This question Was meant for recording the agricultural

status of the tillers of tbe soil. The inforrrat'on obtained by it showed whether the respondent owned all Or any of the land he tilled; whether he paid rent in cash or kind for any of the land he tilled; or ,wr.ether he worked as a labour r for another person who tilled land.

Q U'-st ion IS-This question was intended to discover the industrial status of the respondents other than the tiller of the soil.

The Enumerator's Leaflet and Part II of the Code of Census Procedure con~ tained detailed instructions regarding the import of these questions. All possible steps were taken to secure complete and accurate data on these somewhat compli~

cated questions. But it must be stated that the questions proved to be beyond the capacity of many Enumerators and illiterate respondents and hence the information derived therefrom cannot be claimed to be cent per cent reliable.

9.2 Classification Code.-After reviewing the Classification of Occupations recommended by the International Labour Office of the United Nations the Classification Code of Occupations for the Civilian Labour Force was issued by the Census Commissioner as an annexure to Part II of the Code of Census Procedure, having regard to the special needs of Pakistan. The Code was divided. into nine Main Groups which contained suitable sub-groups and a list of occupations within each Main Group. It does not seem necessary to reproduce the Code here verbatim but in order to give the Reader an idea of the classification the Main Groups together wIth their brief description are shown in Statement 9-A.

9. 3 Relationship of Occupations Economic Groups and Industrial Status,. For the purposes of this Census the analysing of the popUlation into Economic Groups means the break up of the respondents according to the part of Pakistan's agricultural, commercial, industrial or administrative economy in which they worked, or sought work in January 1951. For instance, a clerk may be employed in a bank, a factory or Government office. In·the ·E-conQmic Grouping he would be classified .under commercial, industrial or administrative ecotiomy~ respectively.:, Ta61e1 'f2"'Ec0nomic' GroupSand Industrial s'tatus' bftlie Non-Agricultural Civilian Labour Force published in Part II of this Report gives

the break-up of the Occupations followed by the self-supporting persons in the main Economic Divisions of the Punj!lb and Bahawalpur State. A reference to this Table will show that each E~onomic

Group comprises four categ )ries of in

dustrial stalus, viz., em;Jloyer, emJlvy~e.

independent worker and unpa.id family

helper. According to the instructions contained in Part II of the Code of

Census Procedure the proprietors of businesses or institutions were' to be re

turned as employers while all persons in any kind or service had to be classed as employees. The term 'independent worker' meant a person engaged in his own business or profession but employing nO paid help. The persons included in the

last category were those who had declared themselves as partly self-supporting because of their contribution to the work of the

family farm or business; although they

received no separate salary in cash or kind.

9.4 General distribution of Economic Grol;tping. The figures given in Cens~~ Table No. 11 for the Agricultural Lllb?,!r Force represents all persons whos~ usual main occupation was culHv~ti,QP plus all other persons who in ~~nuarf 19.51 were engaged in one of the EcoJlomic groups classed as "AgricultlYpJ~~ ill the Indu~ttjal Classific!ltipn Cp,de. . 0, ~y_.:

The non-Agricultural Labour Force as listed in Table II represents lherefore all economically active persons who wtif~ engaged in January 1951 in wQrJc. oth,cr tban Agricultural activities or the Ilefence ~ervices.

The persons returning themselves as workers in the Non-Agricultural Labour Force number 19,43 thousands in the Punjab and 1,39 thousands in the Bahawalpur S~ate of whom 71 per cent in the Punjab and 65 per cent in the Babawalpur State are independent workers. The rest are largely employees who account for a percentage of 29 in the Punjab and 34 in the Bahawalpur State. The figures of Employers and Unpaid Family Helpers fC insiinificant. The distribution of all

these four categories according to the Main Economic Groups in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State as a whole and also separately for the province and BahawaJpur State is given in Table 12. This table has been repeated for each of the districts, cities and selected towns in Volume 7 of Census Report which gives the detailed tables of economic characteristics for West Pakistan. Table 12 rohows inter alia that about 19 per cent persons of the Non-Agricultural Labour Force in the Punjab and 30 per c~n~ in the Bahawalpur Slate did not' Qeclar~ th~ir ·Economic Group in idenijfi~~l~! or classifiable terms. The persons, who have been returned as belonging to the Economic Divisions of Forestry, Fishery, Mining, Electricity, Water, Gas and Post and Telecommunications are negligible. The workers in tbe Building and Construction and Transport, Shipping and Port Services also are insignificant. The remaining Economic Divisions, namely, Manufacturing, Trade & Commerce and Services have a fairly large number of workers. Subsidiary Table I at the end of this Chapter shows for each district

of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State the

proportions of the persons who are

engaged in Manufacturing, Trade and

Commerce and Governmental, Municipal, or Domestic and Personal Services.

The percentages of persons included

in the Economic Division of Manufacturing are higher in the Gujranwala, Jhang, LyaUpur, Montgomery, Gujrat and

Jhelum districts. The Muzaffargarh district appears at the tail end as about

i;CONOMIC ACTIVITIES

50 per cent of the respondents there declared unidentifiable or uncJa~sified

Occupations. In the Economic Division of Trade and Commerce the Lahore district tops the list because of the City of Lahore which is the provincial headquarter and the chief commercial centre of the Punjab. Jhang, Muzaffargarh and Campbell pur are backward in this respect. The proportion of persons returned in the Service groups is higher in the Lahore, Sialkot and Rawalpindi districts as the headquarters of Government offices and chiefs business centres and situated th.ere.

9.5 Economic Divisions. Based on the answers to the questions mentioned in paragraph 9.1 supra the total population of the Punjab and Babawalpur State has been' classed into Agricultural Civilian Labour Force, Non-Agricultural Civilian Labour Force, Not in Civilian Labour Force and Dependents. As many as 130,40 thousand persons in the Punjab and 12,59 thousand in the Bahawalpur SIa.te are dependents including the children under 12 years, which works out to 69 per cent of the total population in both cases .

. The accui~cy of the: age data- has already been ~discussed in chapter .. The inconsistencies which were found were especially serious in the ages of 10 and 11 years. It being obvious that the number. had been overstated and included persons who were in fact older. The figures for children included in tbose fo~ the dependents in Census Table

No. ] 1 can therefore be assumed to err on the high side and hence those for the Labour Force to be a little too low. The figures for the towns seem more reliable, but in the rural parts of Lahore and Multan . Divisions (inaccuracy does not appears to be so serious in Rawalpindi Division) and in Bahawalpur State, tb~ male side of the Labour Force may be taken as probably some 3 per cent larger than is shown, aod the Dependents children are probably oversta.te<.l by a

.. '$i~iJarnumber (not of course by a'sil:riUar percentage).

The entire female population in tbe Punjab and Bahawalpur State e?tcept one per cent in the former has been returned as dependents. Amongst the males the proportion of dependents is 44 per cent in the Punjab and 43 per cent in the Bahawalpur State. Statement 9-B gives the numbers and percentages of the self. supporting persons in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State according to the main classifications.

Similar information in respect of .tP~ Muhajir population is given in Statement ·9-C In their case the proportion Qf. Q~:" pendenls ~.or~s out to 66 per Cy~t.j.!l.J~ punjab and 64 per cent in the Bahawalpur State. Amongst the male~' the ratiQ of dependents is 38 per cent in the Punjab and 34 per cent in the Bahawalpur State whi Ie the female dependents are over 98 per cent in the former and cent per cent in the latter.

9.6. Agriculture.-Agriculture has been and is still the predominant activity

of the people of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. Of the total population 82

per cent persons ;n the Punjab and 89 per cent in the Bahawalpur State live in rural areas and are engaged directly or indirectly in agriculture and allied pur

suits. The Agricultural Labour Force f

excluding the dependents mentioned in the preceding paragraph represents 38 per cent of the total male population in the Punjab and 42 per cent in the BahawaJpur State. A vast majority of these, namely, 34,90 thousands in the Punjab

and 3,95, thousands in the Bahawalpur

State are cultivators. Statement 9-D shows the proportion of land owners,

tenants and landless labourers in all the districts of the Punjab and Bahawalpur

State.

It will be seen that more than 90 per cent of the population included in the

Agricultural Labour Force is covered by the aforesaid three classes, the rest being

engaged in miscellaneous occupations connected with agriculture, such as herdsmen. animal breeders, orchard and

nurserymen, malis (gardeners), dairy farmers, poultry keepers, Bee keepers,

silk-worm breeders and other agricultural workers. In all there are 1,17 thousand

herdsmen and animal breeders, who are

chiefly concentrated in the districts of Lahore, Lyallpur. Montgomery, Mo!tan

and in the Rahiinyatkhan district of the Bahawalpur State. Eighteen thousand pe~sons have been returned as Malis chiefly in the districts of Lahore, Sialkot, Lyallpur and Shahpur while 16 thousand persons a~e dairy farmers or poultry keepers residing mostly in the Sheikhupura, .Montgomery and Shah pur districts. Of the five thousand pers.)ns who are Bee keepers, 2 thousands reside in the Shahpur district, and the rest in other districts of the Punjab. The number of silkworm breeders is very small. Lastly 21 thousand persons who are spread all over the Punjab and Bahawalpur State are shown to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits. For fuller details the Reader may refer to Tables ll-B Occupations of Agricultural Labour Force-Section 1 and 14-Agricultural Labour Force and Cultivators' Land Tenure published in Part II of this Repon •.

9.7. Subsidiary Occupations of Agricultural Labour Force. According to the data collected at this Census 1-94 thousand persons in the Punjab and 7 thousand in .. the Bahawalpur State have been returned as engaged in non ·agricul·· tural subsidiary pursuits chiefly in the Manufactures and Crafts Group, which includes blacksmiths, carpenters, weavers, spinners, tailors and shoe makers. These artisans, being an essential part of the normal life in rural as well as urban areas are. evenly distributed all over the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. The other subsidiary o~cupations worth some notice are s~opkeepers, hawkers, cooks and domesti~ servants. Statement 9-E shows the ~i~trjb:~ltlon . of tbe v~rious . subsi4iary

9.9. Acreage per Agricultural Morker. the extent of the land available for cultivation in each district of the Punjab, and for the Bahawalpur State as a whole, has already been discussed in detail in paragraph 1.10 of Chapter 1 of this Report. As will be seen from the state

ment given in tha t paragraph the pro

portion of the net cultivated area to

the cultivable area varies from place to place. For the benefit of those Rea

ders who are not acquainted with the

system of lalftd administrati~n here, it may be mentioned tl1a't the term. 'cultivated area' 'means 'the -area of la'nd

sown an'd the current follows. Statement

9-F shows the average humber of acres of cultivated 'lantI ~e'r worker e~gaged i'n cultivation.

It wiH be seen that the average ~rM pei' agticu1tural worker ranges betwetfi

3.3 and to.S ll'ereS as against 5.0 and 13.2 a'Cres at 1931 Censos. The influx of tire

Mulrajirs, who have tl'JoSI'y been atlotte'd comparatively smaller holdings, is mostly reS'pbnsibte for the tall in the average acreage per agricultural workers.

9. to. tk'OitmRle Condition u£ the CUltivating Class. In arid territories like the Punjab and Baliawalpur state agriculture mainly depends 011 the availability ijf water for ittigating the crops. A "rief account of the Canal projects which have been opehd during tbe fast century to assist agt'ititilture is given in paragrapH

1.9. The cultivating class chleHy depends on these canais for irrigating their crops. In sl)me ltacH wells too ate ti~ed a~ tHe means Of irrigation. 1n cbnneetion with the canal irrigation system however it may be mentioned that due to gradual rise of the water-table some areas are

becoming waterlogged, and hence unfit for cultivation. The Irrigation Dep<1dment has been persistently fighting

agaiIist this menace.

The traditional conservatism of the farmers is more deep-rooted in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State than in many other countries with the result that old

fashioned methods of cultivation continue


to be in vogue. Bullocks and oxen are still used for ploughing, threshing and drawing water out of wells and mostly no manures are used except the farm yard manure. The smallness of the holdings generally also militates against the use of modern mechanical implements of agriculture though of late tractors have begun to be introduced in the bigger farms. The Department of Agriculture has been assisting the farmers by supplying seeds of improved varieties of all kinds of crops and without some success.

The Punjab and the Bahawalpur State have the privilege of possessing)ome of the finest strains of milch buffaloes and cows. The Animal Husbandry Departments have established several centres for the development and improvement of the indigenous breeds and in order to encourage the agriculturists to breed good cattle the Departments hold shows and fairs frequently at which prizes are awarded to the owners of animals possessing outstanding merit. On the whole the economic condition of the cultivating class is fairly satisfactory particularly when good prices are obtainable agricultural produce.

9.11 Agricultural Industries. Of the main crops sown in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, wich are discussed in paragraph 1.11 cotton is by far the most important industrial crop. It is largely grown the colony districts of Multan, in Montgomery, Lyallpur. Shahpur and Jhang in the Punjab and in the canaIirrigated belt of Bahawalpur State. The improved varieties of medium and long staple cotton are in demand in the

international markets and therefore a good deal of the crop; is exported. Some quantity is also consumed •• by the local cotton spinning and weaving mills. The total yield of the improved varieties of cotton in 1951 was 6,56 thousand bales in the Punjab and 1,52 thousand bales in the Bahawalpur State. There are 128

cotton ginning and baling factories in the Punjab, rr ainly in the districts of Multan (39), Lyallpur (27), Montgomery (17) and Shah pur l14), while ,Bahawalpur State has 54 ginning factories. Raw cotton is ginned and baled for export at these factories.

The Punjab has been a centre of handlQQm industry since long. With the influx of the refugees fr om India there has been an appreciable increase in the weaving community. Small handloom factories and cottage workers are spread over almost all district s and it is estimltted that over 1,50 tb ousand handlooms are installed in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. Their requirements of yarn are met partly by imports and partly by the local mills. The development of the cotton textile industry has also been proceeding at a qui(k pace. Since the Partition in 1947 six new cotton spinning and weaving textile mills have been set up at Lyallpur, Multan. Rawalpindi and Rahimyarkhan and some others are under con struction.

According to the information collected at th is Census the number of persons engaged in textile production was 2,10 thousands in the Punjab and 10 thousands in the Bahawalpur State, of whom 1,76 thousands in the Punjab and


7 thousands in the Bahawalpur State were independent" workers. The number of employees was 33 thousands in the Punjab and 3 thousands in the Bahawalpur

State. A vast majority of the persons

engaged in textile production are either illiterate or have not gone beyond the Primary Standard. The Lyallpur district leads all other districts in the number of textile workers. Next come the districts of Multan, Lahore, Sialkot and Gujrat, in the order stated. The districts of Mianwali and D~ra Ghazi Khan are at the tail end. For fuller details the Reader may refer to Table ll-A Occupations of the Non-Agricultural Labour Force published in Part II of this Report.

Sugarcane is another industrial crop grown in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State. It is mostly used for the manufacture of gur (crude sugar) which is consum

ed locally. There is a small sugar mill at

Rahwali in the Gujranwala district and

a proposal to set up a big sugar mill in the Bahawalpur State is under consideration.

9.12 Fishery. The persons engaged in fishing as an occupltion number 364 and 85 in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, respectively, of whom 408 are independent workers and 41 employers. Lahore with 120 such persons leads all other districts while in the districts ofGujranwala and Muzaffargarh no one declared himself to be a fisherman.

9.13 Forestry. In the Punjab and Bahawalpur State 242 and 7 persons, respectively. are shown to be engaged

in forestry. Forest Officers, Guards etc.,

do not appear to have been induded in these figures. Three districts account for 302 persons - Rawalpindi 119, Lahore 45 and Sialkot 39. The number of independent workers is 165 and the remaining 84 are employees. There is very little sawing in the forests of the Punjab and practically no saw mills exist. The most important industry dep:!t1ding on timber is the Sports Goods Industry of

Sialkot, for which mulberry is supplied from the Chhanga Manga forest in the

Lahore district and other irrigated forest plantations. There is a Rosin and Turpentine Factory at lallo near Lahore which is run by Government.

9.14 Governmental Services. At the time of this C..:usus the number of workers who reported themselves as _engaged in Governmental and Municipal services, districtwise details of which are given in Table 12-Economic Groups and Industrial Status of the Non-Agricultural Labour Force, was 1,17,755 (1,17,113 males and 642 females) in the Punjab and 10,692 (10,698 males and 4 females) in the Bahawalpur State. These figures do not include persons employed in the Education, Medical, Post and Telecommu

nication Services whose details are furnished in Statement 9-G.

The large number of independent

workers under 'Education' and 'Medical Services' represents tutors and private medical practitioners. Information regarding the workers in the various important service occupations in each district of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State is given in Subsidiary Table II at

the end of this Chapter. This Table will

These industries have been organised by individual enterprise; or as joint stock companies and Cooperative Societies. The latter facilitate the procurement of raw materials by their members and help them in marketing their finished g.oods.

Most of these industries, it may be

mentioned, cater for the indigen(')Us demand and their growth has kept pace with the increase in the total popUlation.

Metal workers. The persons recorded as workers in the metal indus~ry,

comprising blacksmilhy, implement-making, cutlery and the manufacture of utenSils, number 87,487 in the Punjab and' 5,605 in the Bahawalpur State. A blacksmith is found in almost every village fur manufacturing and repairing the agricultural implements and articles of household necessity- required by the cultivating class. The chief centre for brass utensils is Gujranwala while iron and steel industry is carried on in the,

Sialkot, Gujrat and Lahore districts. The Batala Engineering Co. Ltd., has installed a big plant in Lahore for the manufacture of machine-tools. There are over a

dozen factories in Lahore and Lyallpur

engaged in the manufacture of hand and' power-driven liosiery machinery. The cutlery industry is centralised at Wazirabad and Nizamabad in the Gujranwala

dis triet. Its products are exported to many foreign countries. There are some factories in the Punjab manufacturing

electric fans while Surgical Instruments

are manufactured at Sialkot under the guidance of the Goyernment Surgical and_

Allied Trace Centre. Lastly, there are' foundries in all parts of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State to meet the local requirements.

Wood workers. Wood working is another industry which has returned a fairly large number of workers, namely, 71,150 in the Punjab and 5,555 in the Bahawalpur State. The workers are mainly~

Its ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

carp.!nters, who work for the agriculturists in the villages or meet the demand for wood work in cities and towns. Sialkot is renowned all over the world for its Sports Goods Industry; Chiniot and Bhera are known for wood carving; and Pakpattan and Jampur for liqueur work.

Glass and Ceramic workers. The workers of this in4ustry number 48,785 in the Punjab and 3,915 in the BahawaIpur State. There is a large concentration of potters at Gujrat who produce fairly good crockery and other articles of household utility. A Pottery Demonstration Centre has been established there for the development of this industry.

Multan has also been known since long for its pottery industry. The Government Central Pottery Agency at Shahdara gives

training in pottery and also works On a commercial basis. AU big villages have Potters who make articles of daily use for the cultivating class. There are some glass factories manufacturing tumblers. bottles, chimneys, glass bangles and other simple articles.

Leather workers. The number of leather workers is 96,942 in the Punjab and 6,858 in the Bahawalpur State. They mostly manufacture shoes. There are also'some modern tanneries located in Multan, Montgomery, Lahore, Kasur, Gujranwaia, Wazirabad, Sialkot, Gujar Khan, Jhang and Lyallpur.

The number of workers in other manufacturing occupations is small and calls for no discussion.

9.16 Occupations. The more importan t service and industrial occupations

have been discussed in the foregoing paragraphs. Persons engaged in Road and Transport occupations and unskilled domestic and other service workers constitute a fairly large proportion of the

Non~Agricul[Ural Labour Force and it is therefore proposed (0 discuss them here too. Such workers have been returned from almost every district of the Punjab and Bahawalpur State as Subsidiary Table III at the end of this Chapter will show. Statement 9-J gives the number of these workers and their proportion to the Non-Agricultural Labour Force.

The number of unskilled workers was 5,44 thousands in the, Punjab and 48 thousands in the Bahawalpur State which is more than one fourth of the Non-Agri'cultural' Labour Force in each case. Next come the business executives, sales workers and shopkeepers, whose number is also fairly large. It may be mentioned that these figures do not include children

below the age of 12 years some of whom are employed as domestic servants and apprentices in business concerns. For

fuller details the Reader may refer to Tables l1-A Occupations of Non-Agricultural Labour Force, 12-Economic Groups and Industrial Status of NonAgricultural Civilian Labour Force, 13-Economic Groups and Occupations and 19-D Economic Groups and Occupations of Muhajirs, published in Part II of this

Report.

Figure 9.1 shows the changes in the strength of the different elements of the

Civilian Labour Force.

9.17. Unemployment. Question 12 on the Census Slip was designed to obtain data regarding unemployment. Persons who' had done no work through-, out January, 1951 were to be regarded as unemployed. The replies to this question were sorted for Cultivators and other

persons in the Agricultural Labour Force at tbe Hand Sorting Centres and for the Non-Agricultural Labour Force at the Machine Sorting Centre, Karachi. The number of unemployed persons was 26,663 in the Agricultural Labour Force and 809 in the Non-Agricultural Labour Force. In view of the general practice

in thi§ country th'l-t when an agricultuflll

employee looses his jOb. he is supported by his family and actually joins the work of his relatives the figure of unemployed agricultural workers appears to be reasonable. But the number of persons who reported themselves as being unemployed in the Non-Agricultural Labour Force obviously does not presen t a true picture of unemployment, The data shows, in the month in question, only 76 unemployed persons in Lahore; although enquiries made from the Manager, Regional Employment Exchange, Lahore reveal that the number of unemployed persons registered in his records for that month

was in the vicinity of 13 thousands. The patently low figures of unemployment seem attributable firstly to the

failure of the enumerators to understand the import of question 12; secondly to the inability of the respondents especially the large class of independent workers, to report on the question on account of their ignorance of their correct position; thirdly to the general reluctance on the part of respondents to confess unemployment before the Enumerators, who, where not in a position to find employmen t for them and lastly to the exclusion of the persons, who, tbough really unemployed had done some kind of work for a short period during the month in question. Tbe reported figures for industrial unemployment are so unrealistic that it is quite futile to present tbem in detail.

nature of work, the type of machinety, the number of workers and in the case of the textile weaving industries the material produced and the nutnber of looms. The return was a subsidiary job done atong with the house-listing which \\>as itself regarded as far more important to the success of the Census. The Cott!lge Industries Return wag made with varying degrees of thoroughness by diffcretrt enumerators and in some cases was omit .. ted altogether. There was very little opportunity fOr instructing the enumeratots


regarding the classification of cottage industries and it is apparent that the description of the product was often poor an~ that the definition of a Cottage Industry was not always appreciated. The return cannot therefore be regarded as complete. Nevertheless, it gives results which although inexpert and deficient, do represent a wider conspectus of Home Manufactures than bas hitherto been available. The returns submitted by the Enumerators were passed on to the Hand Sorting Centres where Coded Schedules were prepared in accordance with the instructions embodied in Part III of the Code of Census Procedure and the Coded Schedules were sorted by Machine at Dacca. The results are incorporated in Supplementary Tables No. I and No. II in Part II of this book. Briefly. the position is that the reports covered

44,096 enterprises of various kinds in the Punjab and 2,946 in the Bahawalpur State. Those using power numbered 62 in the former and 9 in the latter. Statement 9-K shows the numbers of enterprises and workers in each product group, \ together with the number of looms in the taxtile and carpet manufacturing group.

As has been mentioned the information collected through the Cottage Indus· try Enquiry is incomplete. For example the number of cottage workers in woodwork, cane work and bamboo work is 1845 and 695 in the Punjab and Bahawalpur State, respectively, but considering the number of carpenters etc., actually working in that profession in both urban and rural areas these figures are ridiculously low, and there are other equaUy obvious inaccuracies.

TABLE I-POPULATION

This Table shows for divisions, districts and tehsiJs, as well as for Babawalpur State likewise, the distribution of population in rural and urban areas and the persons per square mile. The population includes Non-Pakistanis also.

~. The figures for areas have been obtained from the Survey of Pakistan. They differ in some cases from pn:vious censuses due to partition of the Punjab on the Radcliffe Award.

3. Details of Partition-affected districts and adjustments of areas thereof are given below:-

The decrease is due to exclusion of a part of Kasur Tebsil which has been included in India.

The increase is due to the inclusion of Shakargarh Tehsil from Gurdaspur district, (now in India.)

4. This Table is discussed in Chapter 3 of Part I of the Census Report.

TABLE l·A-POPULATION OF URBAN AREAS

This Table forms an analysis of the total shown in table I for the urban portions of each district or part of a district and shows area of each urban unit in sq. miles and total population by sex. It contains a list of the names and data of all cities, municipalities and other urban areas. Cities are defined as urban areas with a popula. tion of one lakh or over and urban areas are defined as continuously built up localities consisting of 5,000 or more inhabitants and all local bodies irrespective of population. Their areas have been obtained from local authorities and are probably approximations in most cases.

2. Certain areas which were classed as urban in the previous cemus have however, ceased to be as such. They are as under:-

1. Rojhan. (District D.G. Khan)

TABLE 2-TOWNS AND CITIES

1. In this Table Cities and Towns are listed in order of size of population and are grouped in four classes, viz.:-

Class 1-100,000 or ove.r inhabitants.

Class II-25,OOO and under 100,000.

Class II1-10.000 and under 25,000.

Class IV-5,000 and under 10,000.

These classes correspond with the classes recommended by the Population Commission of United Nations, but differ from the classes used in previous censuses of India. In Punjab, there are six· cities in Class I. viz., Lahore, Lyallpur, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sialkot and Gujranwala.

2. For Census purposes a town is defined as an urban area consisting of a continuous collection of houses inhabited by not less than 5,000 persons.

3. The population figures of cantonments have been amalgamated in this table with those of the cities and towns adjacent to which they are situated. Separate figures for cantonments have been shown in Table I-A.

4. This Table ~xcludes persons of non-Pakistani citizenship and does not therefore agree with the numbers shown in Table I-A. This agrees. however, with Table 6.

5. Figures for Muslims shown in this Table include the !lumber of Muhajirs (refugees) which are also shown separately in the last column.

6. The source of the information regarding the form of local-self government authorized for each city and town is the appropriate department of the Province or State.

7. This Table is discussed in Chapter 4 of Part J.

TABLE 3-VARIATIONS

This table shows decennial changes in population since 1901. The population analysed in this table is the total population including persons claiming nationalities other than Pakistani. Three figures are shown under each Census data for each geographical area; two of these, one below the other, represent, first, the total population in the census year, and second, the increase or decrease in population since the previous census; the third figure at the side of the column shows this increase or decrease expressed as a percenta-ge of the population at the pervious census. Variations for the decade 1891/1901 are not shown. The figures shown for variations are preceded by a MINUS sign where the difference is a decrease; if no sign is shown the difference is an increase.

2. The figures shown in this table for the census enumeration from 1901 to 1941 are the same as those shown in the previous census reports of India, except in the cases of Lahore & Sialkot. These differences are mainly due to partition. The changes in areas are detailed in the title-sheet of Table 1. The approximate effect of these changes in the population of the districts concerned has been estimated and the figures adjusted accordingly to give the comparative population of the present areas.

3. Details are given below of the adjustments in population from 1901 to 1941 of the districts of Punjab which have either been increased or decreased as a result of the partition of the Punjab:

TABLE 4-AGE MARITAL STATUS

This Table sbows the distribution of population of each sex according to broad age-groups and marital status. It is repeated for each main religious group and for every district.

The date about age and marital status have been collected from the answers to question No.2 of the enumeration slip which provided two columns headed 'Years' and 'Months' for age and one more column with letters "M", "S", "W", and "D" for the marital status. The age of infants under one year was to be recorded in the column headed 'Months' and of all others in completed years in the column headed 'Years'. "M" was to be ringed round for 'married' "s" for 'single (never married)" "W" for 'widowed' and "D" for 'divorced'. The whole information about marital status is strictly in accordance with the replies given by the respondents to the simple question whether he/she was single, married, widowed or divorced; the information about age has been partly supplied by the respondents who know their age and has partly been recorded by the enumerators afler reminding the respondents about the dales of important events of the local events and calculating their age according to the statements made by them.

3. The age grouping shown in this table slightly differs from that shown in the past Census Tables in as much as that the number of years at the end of the each group has not been repeated at the beginning of the next group.

4. Since the Table excludes non-Pakistanis, its totals will not tally with those in Table 1.

5. Analysis has indicated that the repofting is not sufficiently accurate to justify the presentation of the data in small age-groups and the board categories shown in this table appear to be the smallest which can be regarded as reasonably reliable. The question of accuracy and the analysis of the data is discussed in Chapters 5 aod 6 0 f part I.

TABLE 6.-RELIGIONS.

This Table analyses the distribution of the population according to religions. The information in regard to religion was ob1ained in reply to Census Question No. 5 for which 8 symbols were provided on the census slip, one of which had to be ringed round by the enumerator according to the reply of the respondent. The symbols were-( 1)

Muslim, (2) Caste Hindu, (3) Scheduled Castes. (4) Buddhist, (5) Christian, (6) Parsi, (7) Tribal Religion and (8) Other Rdigion or no religion. The 8th symbol was ringed also for persons who did not report their religion. The original slips were sorted according to the marks placed round the above symbols and were counted to produce the statistics shown in this Table.

2. It will be seen that no attempt has been made to obtain data regarding sects or sub-divisions of the main religious communities or to record the separate castes of Caste Hindus and members of the Scheduled CaSles.

3. The Table has been issued in 2 sections :

Section 1 gives totals of main religious groups, and the total of smaller religious group3 for each district and municipality;

Section 2 gives the number of persons in each district in each of the smaller religious groups. The column headed "Others" includes persons who claimed to adhere to a religion not specified in the enumeration slip, or who have no religion or who refused to report their religion.

4. The population analysed in this Table excludes persons who claimed a nationality other than Pakistani.

5. This Table has been discussed in Chapter 3 of Part I of the Report.

TABLE 7-MOTHER TONGUE

The information regarding Mother Tongue was obtained in reply to

Census Question No.6: "What is your Mother Tongue?" 'Mother Tongue' was defined as the language spoken from the craddle and Enumerators were instructed that in the case of very young children who had not learned to speak and of deaf-and-dumb persons. it should be the language spoken by their mothers. Where the mothers' language was different from the father's the Mother Tongue was taken to be the language mostly used in the home.

2. The nine main languages of Pakistan printed on the Census Slip were Arabic, Urdu, Persian, Bengali, Pashto, Punjabi, English, Sindhi and Baluchi. The Enumerator had to indicate Mother Tongue b;y ticking against one of them according to the reply. There was a tenth blank column for the purpose of recording Mother Tongues other than those printed. The original slips were sorted in accordance with the marks put on them and were counted to produce the statistics shown in this Table.

3. The list of languages has been arranged according to philological families. The Indo-European family, to which many of the languages of Pakistan belong, is sub-divided to snow separately the particular branches which contain the chief mother tongues of Pakistani citizens. Within each family or branch of the Indo-Eu, opean family the different languages are listed in alphabetical order.

4. The list of languages includes, in addition to the printed nine languages, most of the other languages which were entered iuto the 10th blank column. These languages are given separate lines in the table.

5. This table gives an analysis of the total population of the Province, excluding foreigners, and is in various sections. Selected towns and cities have been listed separately, as the distribution pattern of mother tongues in cities and larger towns often varies from that generally found in the surrounding districts.

6. The Table has been discussed in Chapter 8 of Part I of the Census Report.

TABLE '-A-SPEECH.

1. This table shows the number of persons who commonly speak each of the main languages of Pakistan. Nine languages were selected for the purpose of this enquiry and these were printed on the Enumeration Slip. Tick marks VI ere placed under each language by the Enumerator according to the replies he received to Census question No.7. This question followed tbe question On Mother-tongue and asked the respondent to report "Any other language you commonly speak ?".

2. Many respondents claimed to speak more than one language in addition to their Mother-tongue. Therefore no 'Total' column is provided in this table since the total number of speakers exceeds the total population, many persons appearing more than once in tbe figures.

3. The figures under each language include those who speak the language as their Mother-tongue plus those who speak it as an additional language. The standard of multi-lingualism in each language can tberefore be assessed by comparing the figures in tbis table with those in Table 7: Mother-tongues.

4. This table is in two sections: Section 1 gives the number of speakers of each language and section 2 expresses the figures as percentages of the total population. The total population figure used for this calculation excludes Non·Pakistanis but the difference which that causes in the percentages is negligible.

5. Certain minor languages or dialects, having been reported as Mother-tongues, are induded in this table under the main languages in which they were classified in Table 7.

6. For further details see the title-sheet of Table 7.

TABLE 9-PUPILS AND STUDENTS

This table shows for each district and Bahawalpur state, the number of persons by sex in two broad age-groups, who reported themselves in the census as regularly attending school or ColJege. The table is in two sections. Section 1 shows the analysis by main religious groups for the whole of Punjab and Bahawalpur the whole of Punjab and separately for Bahawalpur State. Section 2 gives the analysis for "All religions by districts.

Separate figures have been given for cities and all seiected towns, except Sargodha and are also included in the respective district figures immediately above it. The percentage which each figure in the table bears to the corresponding total population of its age, sex and religious group has been shown in italics below the respective figures.

2. Similar tables regarding school or college population were not produced in previous censuses of this sub-continent.

3. The data for the number of people still undergoing education were obtained in reply to the first Part of Census Question No. 10 which enquired whether the person was regularly attending school or college. The enumerators' leaflet explained that a person should be treated as regularly attending school or college regardless of any temporary break in attendance such as sickness or holidays.

4. Since this censl!ls information is based on verbal statements by individuals or beads of families, it is unlikely that it will agree either in general or,in particular with the official records based on registers kept by beads of schools and colleges. The number of persons attending primary schools on 1,152 according to the record of the Director of Public Instructions are :-

TABI,E 9-A-YEARS OF EDUCATION.

This Table shows how many persons out of the whole population (excluding Non-Pakistanis) have received formal schooling and analyses them in broad age·groups according to the number of yearS spent in full time education.

2. This Table is divided into two sections as under :-

Section 1 : All Religions.

Section 2 : Muslims.

In each section the analysis is made for the Province as a whole, showing sex breakdown for each diStrict, State and Selected town and city. Separate figures given for towns are also included in those of the districts in which the town or city is situated.

3. This information for this Table was obtained from Census Question No. 10 (b) which aSlo..ed: "For how many years have you attended school or college?" The Enumeratvf was instructed that this question applied to those who had left school or college as well as to those still attending. He was also instructed that the reply should be

recorded to the nearest whole number of years. The data so recorded were sorted mostly by hand using the original enumeration slips, but the slips for certain categories of. persons were coded and sorted by punched card machines.

4. The number of children in the lowest age-group who are shown as having received full time education is smaller than the number in that age-group shown in Table 9 as currently attending school. The difference is due to children who have been at school for considerably less than one year having the answer 'Yes' recorded to Question lO-A, which asked: "Are you regularly attending school or college?" but 'None' given against Question 1 O-B in respect of the nearest whole number of years at school.

5. The number of females included in each figure is shown in italics below it.

The Table is discussed in Chapter 7 of Part I.

Section 1: It shows sex breakdown in age groups of 'under 12 years' and '12 years and over'; and

Section 2: It shows a further analysis of '12 years and over' into sex and occupations.

Figures in both the sections are shown for districts and Bahawalpur State.

2. The information tabulated herein was obtained from replies to the third and fourth parts of Census Question No.4 on Nationality, which asked: "If an Afghan are you a Powindah. 7 If so, where is your party settled this winter?" Enumerators were instructed in case a respondent did not know whether he was a Powindah or not, to treat as P<lwindah$ aU

such Afghans who had been staying temporarily in Pakistan for the preceding winter. The symbol 'PAK' was ringed on the slip in such cases, which were sorted to produce the required statistics.

TABLE ll-LABOUR FORCE

I. This Table classifies the total population. excluding non-Pakistanis into broad categories of

Economic Status.

2. All persons aged 12 years and over were asked "Are you usually self-supporting or partly self-supporting or seeking work?" Persons who answered "Yes" to any part of this question were then asked to state their occupation and the economic group in which they were engaged in the previous month. From their answers they have been classed as belonging to the Agricultural or non-Agricultural Labour Force, or as not being in the Civilian Labour Force. Persons who answered "No" to all three parts of the main question were classed as Dependents as were all children under 12 years of age.

3. The Agricultural Labour Force includes

all persons who reported their usual main occupation as "cultivators" or who stated that in January 1951, they were engaged or seeking work in cultivation, stock-raising, hunting and game propagation, or some other occupation

associated with the agricultural industry but not generally those engaged in forestry or fishing. It should be noted that the census definition of a 'cultivator' was a "Tiller of the soil" which term meant a person who himself works on the land or who employes others to do so under his direct personal supervision.

4. The Non-Agricultural Civilian Labour Force includes self-supporting persons who du

ring January, 1951, were engaged in Public Service (except the Armed Forces), personal service, trade commerce transportation, or any industry

other than agriculture, but including forestry and fishery. It also includes persons seeking work in any non-Agricultural occupation,

5, Persons not in the Civilian Labour Force include members of Defence Services and also the several classes of self-supporting persons who are regarded as economically inactive. The

latter consist of two main categories, first, those persons of private means who have not indicated that they follow any of the professions or occupations which would class them in the labour force This group includes retired persons and pen~ sioners, students (if they have stated that they are self-supporting or partly so) and those landownerS who have not claimed to be cultivators or to be engaged in service or industry. Secondly, the economically inactive category includes the inmates of hospitals, asylums and jails, if they have not stated an occupation which enables them to be classed .in the Labour Force. and what may be called, "Social Parasites" namely persons who have described themselves as beggars, vagrants, pr ostitutes, etc.

6. Dependents include all children under 12

years of age and all other persons who did not claim to be self-supporting, partly so or seeking work. The female element of this group therefore, contains the large number of women engaged in house-hold duties, but it does not contain those who Jescribed themselves as helpers in the trades, profession or other gainful work of the family or house-hold. Similarly, this group includes all students, old people invalids etc., living with or supported by their families or friends if such persons have not claimed to be wholly or partly supporting themselves by some definite occupation, nor to be seeking to do so.

7. It is believed that the number of Male children reported as under 12. years of age is somewhat inflated and this may have increased the figures for male dependents at the expense of the Labour Force. The data should, therefore, be used with reasonable caution. The probable effect, if expressed as a percentage of the male Labour Force is not likely to exceed 3 per cent.

8. Muhajirs are inclUded in the figures appearing in this table, but are also given separately in Table 19-C.

9. This Table has been discussed in Chapter 9 of Part 1.

TABLE U-A --OCCUPATION OF NON-AGRICULTURAL LABOUR FORCE.

This table shows the composition by detailed occupations and certain occupational sub-groups of the sections of the:: Civilian Labour Force classed as Non-Agricultural Labour in Table 11. 'All non-Pakistani citizens and children under 12 years of age are excluded.

2. 'Persons following each occupation are further analysed by sex. indu~trial status, age groupS and educational, levels. The age-groups chosen are related to the different phases of a persons working life.

3. The information regarding occupations- is based upon tlle replies obtained to Census Question No. 12 which asked; "what was your actual main occupation in January 1951? If you were unemployed throughout January 1951, were you seeking employment, and if so, in what occupation". The enumerator was instructed to write a brief description of H e occupation indicating what kind of worker the respondent was or what kind of work he did or sought. The respondents were instructed to distinguish dearly between the idea of occupation, which meant the kind of work done and the idea of 'Economic Group' which meant the kind of service in which the occupation is followed.

4. The descriptions so recorded were coded in accordance with the "Classification Code of occupations of the Civilian Labour Force" issued as an Annexure to Part II of the Code of Census Procedure. Slips which were endorsed as "Mazdoor (Labourer)" or "MulazimatjNaukri (Service)" were counted under 'Unskilled labourers' unless the enumeration slip contained some more information on other questions which enabled the respondent to be more accurately classified.

5. Information-regarding Industrial Status was obtained in answers to Census Question No. 14 which asked: "In your main occupation, do you employ others? Or are you an employee? Or are you an independent worker? Or an Unpaid family help?" Symbols for each of these categories were provided on the slips and the enumerators placed a ring round the appropriate symbol. The enumerators were instructed not to class a person as Employer merely by virtue of his employing domestic servants but only if he employed others in his profession or business. An independent worker was defined as a person who is his own master in his trade or business but employs no paid help". An unpaid family help was defined as it person wllo claimed to be self-supporting or partly so by virtue of assistance rendered directly in the operation of a trade or business of another member of the family, but who received no separate payment in cash or kind. Unemployed pers<Jns arc included in this table under the "Occupations" in which they were seeking work.

6. The data regarding age and Educational Statu. were obtained from replies to Census Questions Nos. 2 and 10, a description of each of which appears in the title sheets of the tables in the Age and Literacy series re~pectively .

7. For every person in the Non-Agricultural Labour Force, the Data on the enumeration slip were transferred to punched cards and sorted by machine.

8. An analysis of the information on occupation contained in this table is given in fuller details in Table E, which is separately published in the series of Census volumes of Economic Tables.

9. This Table has been discussed in Chapter 9 of the Report.

TABLE H-B-SECTION 1. OCCUPATIONS OF THE AGRICULTURAL LABOUR FORCE

1. This Table divides the Agricultural Labour Force as shown in Table 11, into cultivators, Animal Husbandmen, and other Agriculturists.

2. The data for cultivators has been further analysed by land tenure in table No, 14.

3. The number of cultivators was obtained by Census Question 11-A which asked "what is usually your main occupation (kind of work)?" If the respondent claimed to be a "Tiller of the Soil" the enumerator put a ring round the symbol printed on the slip. The total of all such slips has been included in tbe figure for Cultivators.

4. The numbers of Animal Husbandmen and other agriculturists were obtained by Census Question No. 13 which asked "In what kind of Industry, business or service did you work in January (l951)?" Enumerator were instructed to write out the respondents' answer. A summarized list of the groups into which economic activities were to be split was printed on the instruction sheet provided (in his own language) to every enumerator, The first items in this list were "AGRICULTURE split into cultivation, stock raising, Forestry, etc", The slips of persons who had not declared themselves to be "Tiller of the soil" in Question llA were placed in the Agricultural or Non-Agricultural Sections of the Labour Force according to the answers given to Question 13. Forestry and Fi<ihery were included in the Non·Agricultural industries.

5. The occupation of the persons in the Agricultural Labour Force, other than "Tillers of the soil" were elicited by Census Question No. 12 Which asked "what was your actual main occupation in January (1951),' The answers were coded in accordance with the "Classification Code of Occupations for the Civilian Labour Force" (Census 51 publication No. ll-A). Any slip coded for sub-group 4. 1 (Cultivators and Agricultural land workers) were added to the total of Cultivators given by tbe answers to Question lI-A. Slips coded in sub-group 4. 4 (Dairy Farmers and Workers in Animal Husbandry) were counted to give the total of that column in this Table. All other slips of the Agricultural Labour Force coded in Sub-group 4 are included in the headioi "Other and Unclassified".

6. Slips of Cultivators who reported in answer to Question 12 that they were unemployed throughout January 1951 account for the last column in tbis table. Very few Cultivators would have done no work at all during a period as long as a whole month, Moreover cultivators generally regard themselves as employed throughout the year, and therefore the figures are unrealistically low as a report on unemploymenl.

7. Section 2 of this Table shows the subsidiary occupations followed by some members of the Agricultural Labour Force.

8. This Table has been discussed in Chapter 9 of Part I of the Census

Report.

TABLE 12-ECONOMIC GROUPS & INDUSTRIAL STATUS OF NON-AGRICULTURAL CIVILIAN LABOUR FORCE,

This table analyses the Non-Agricultural section of the Civilian Labour Porce (NALF) as shown in table 11. It gives figures by sex of the persons engaged in each Economic Division and cross-classifies them according to Industrial status. Separate figures are given for each District and for certain towns selected for special tabulation. As in the case of other Labour Force Tables, the figures exclude Non-Pakistanis and children under 12 years of age.

2. The totals in this table, including the figures for unemployed persons, agree with those shown in the analysis in table ll-A of the same population according to occupations.

3. The information regarding Economic Groups was obtained in respons, to Census Question No. 13 which asked "In what kind of Industry business or service did you work in January 1951"? The information reported was coded according to the Standard Industrial Classification Code (Pakistan) issued as Appendix' P' to the Code of Census Procedure Part II. This code had been used as a basis for instruction of enumerators who were to explain to respondents that they sh,wld report the industry, etc., in which they had been engaged at any timt: or mainly during the whole month of January 1951.

4. If a person did not work at all during that month, he was asked whether he had been seeking employment and if so, he was classed as unemployed. Persons so reporting themselves as unemployed are treated as not engaged in the work of any of the Economic Groups although they may have been seeking work in a definite occupation.

5. Data regarding Industrial Status were obtained in reply to Census qu'!stion 15 (see Title Sbeet of Table 1 I-A).

6. The data on the enumeration slips of the NALF was coded numerically and sorted by punched card machines in Karachi. This table is prepared from the records of the Machine Sorting.

7. The Census question regarding the economic group in which persons were engaged appears to have been poorly understood in many cases by respondents and also by enumerators. The classification in accordance with the official code was therefore difficult. In these circumstances, many minor inconsistencies were detected during the compilation of the table. These have been rectified as far as possible with reference to the occupa

tional typei shown in Table II-A. The resulting data cannot therefore be regarded as being accurate in detail but it is believed to give a reasonably reliable view of the over-all distribution of the Labour Force.

TABLE 13.-~ECONOMIC GROUPS AND OCCUPATIONS OF CIVILIAN LABOUR FORCE.

This Table cross-classifies the persons engaged in different economic activities with the broad classification of their occupations. The population analysed is the whole of the Civilian Labour Force as shown in Table 11.

2. The classification into economic divisions is based on the Standard Industrial Classification, i.e., the classification according to the main industries and services, issued as an Appendix to the Census Code of Procedure, as already stated in the title-sheet of Table 12.

3. The occupational classification is a c implified re-arrangement of the main groups of occupational classification as shown in Table It-A. Agricultural and Fisht ry workers have b~n placed in the same column but are naturally in separate economic divisions. The group 'Administrative' has been split into two broad classes instead of three by. combining Business and Governmental Executives while showing the clerical workers separately. The skilled operatives in tbis table include 'Mine and Quarry Workers, Transport Operatives, Manufacturing Workers, and Food and Drink and Tobacco Processing Workers',

4. The sources of information for tbis table are the same as described in Table 11, I1-A and 12, so far as they concern the Industry and Occupation.

5. Females are included in each class, but are shown separately in italics immediately below each figure.

6. The Census question regarding the economic group in which persons were engaged appears to have been poorly understood in many cases by respondents and also by enumerators. The classification in accordance with the ,official code was therefore difficult. In these circumstances, many minor incon~istencies were detected during the compilation of the table. These have been rectified as far as possible with reference to the occupational types shewn in Table II-A. The' resulting data canDot therefore be regarded as being accurate in detail but it is believed to give a reasonably reliable view of the over-all distribution of the Labour Force.

7. A fuller discussion of the whole table is given in Chapter 9 of Part I of the Report.

TABLE 14-AGRICULTURAL LABOUR FORCE AND CULllVATORS' LAND TENURE.

The Agricultural Labour Force, shown in Tabl';! 11, is further analysed in this Table by different categories of Agricutiurists and by land tenure classes of cultivators.

2. The information about the agricultural status of the cultivators was obtained in response to Question 14. The Enumerators had instructions to ask the questions and record answers of the re,pondents who had shown their occupation to be tillers, in response to Question II which dealt with the persons usual main occupation. Question 14 was ;-

"Do you own all or any of the land you till?"

"Do you pay rent in kind or cash for any of the land you till?"

"Do you work as Labourer for another person who tills land".

If 'Yes', rin g "C"

If ·Yes·. ring "A"

If 'Yes', ring "B"

3. The persons shown owing part and renting part land tilled are those who had both "C" and "B" ringed and the persons shown renting and also working for hire had both "A" and "B" ringed.

4. A 'Cultivator' (Tiller of the Soil) was defined in the Enumerators' Instructions as a person who himself works on the land or who employes others to do so under his direct-personal supervision.

5. Persons engaged in 'Forestry' and 'Fishery' arc classed in the NonAgricultural Labour Force and are s'Jown in Table~ II-A and 12.

6. This Table ex~llldes persons of a nationality other than Pakistani and also all children under 12 years of age.

7. This Table has been discussed in Chapter 9 of Part r of the Census Report.

TABLE IS-LANDOWNERS

1. In this table the persons over 12 years of age who reported themselves as owners of land have been classified according to broad categories of economic activities.

2. The information in this table was obtained from the following Census questions:

(a) Question 11: asked "what is usually your main occupation"? If the person was a 'tiller of the ~Oll', the enumerator put a ring round the appropriate symbol and the perSOn was asked Question 14.

(b) All persons 12 years old and over who reported that they were self-:mpporting or paItlY so were asked the Special Question: "Do you rec~ive rent in cash or kind for the: land you own but which is tilled by others"? If the answer_was 'YES', the enumerator put a ring round the appropriate symbol.

(c) Question 13: asked "In what kind of industry or service did you work in January"? The an~wers to this que,tion were used to classify landowners into Agriculturists, persons working in Non-Agricultural activities and members of the Defence services. Those who answered 'NONE' to this question, and

who had not reported in answer to Question 12 that they were seeking employment have been classified as "Economically Inactive".

(d) Question 14: asked all persons who claimed to be cultivators (see Question 11 above) whether they owned land al7d if their reply was 'YES', they have been included in the total of this table. The above questions were addressed to all persons aged 12 years and over who claimed to be fully or partly ~elf-supporting or claimed to be seeking work.

3. This table is discussed in Chapter 9 of Part I of tbe Census Report.

SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES 1 & 2-COTTAGE INDUSTRIES

Supplementary Table i-The location of cottage Industries.

SupplementarY Table 2-Number of each class of cottage industry and the uumber of workers employed therein.

An inquiry into the nature and location of generally been possible by other means. But it Cottage Industries was made while the Population is far from adequate and cannot be regarded as Census staff were surveying their Enumeration complete. After all, the Census Enumerators had Areas and preparing the Household Lists. This had very little instructions at the time of the work was spread over the period from mid- House-listing. The whole work of the Census September 1950 to mid· January 1951. The Census had to be done in a short time and this special Enumerators were at that time making a list of all enquiry could not be given the same degree of the Households in their areas and were painting priority and of check of accuracy as the main numbers on the buildings to agree with the serial work of the Census. Many of the enumerators numbers on the List. lost sight of the definition of "Home Manu

facture" and included in their returns repair shops 2. While the men were on the ground for this

purpose, they were required to ask whether any "Home Manufacture" was carried on by the house-hold. If so, particulars were to be recorded on a special form. No entry was, however, required where a business employed 20 persons or more (10 if power-driven machinery Wele used). This was intended to rule out the enterprises coming under the Factories Act.

3. The particulars recorded were: the nature of the work; whether the entel prise used powerdriven machinery, i.e., machinery driven by an engine or electricity; the number of men, women and children engaged during the working season, and for enterprise in which weaving is the main or subsidiary operation, the number of looms and the material woven.

4. The inquiry was carried out more or less satisfactorily through out most of the country and provides what is perhaps a more widespread detailed survey of Cottage Industries than has

and service enterprises such as barbers and washermen. The Cottage Industry Inquiry was not held at all in the Federal Capital Area. All that can be deduced from the tables therefore is that at the time of the investigation the enterprises shown in the tables actually existed but that many mOre would have been disclosed by a more careful and thorough enquiry.

5. The data given on the enquiry forms has . been carefully coded in accordance Wilh a list of "Products and kinds of Work" agreed with the Ministry of Industries. Irrelevant entries were eliminated and the data has been sorted and counted by punched-card machinery in the Dacca Census Machine Centre. From the M:lchine Centre's Reports, the Provincial Superintendents of Census have prepared summaries for each district on which Provincial Tabll.'s have been based.

6. These Tables has been discussed in Chapter 9 of the Report.

EXPLANATIONS. l. PERSONS TO BE COUNTED:-

a. The Object is to include in the Census all persons who are normal residents of Pakistan, and all visitors to Pak_istan during the enumeration period. The census IS to be complete and "catch every man", but we must not count anyone more than once.

c. A Normal Resident is a person to whom the house is bis or ber present regular residence or lodging place. If you bave any doubt as to wbelher a person is truly a normal resident you should fill up the slip and make a note to consult the Supervisor of your Circle regarding your doubts.

d. Absent' Members of Household: The object of the prelimina!y questions is to ensure that people away from therr homes for part of the enumeration period are enumerated with the population in the localhy in which they normally reside. Persons who are away during the whole enumeration

period will be counted at tbe place in Pakistan where they have gone. But persons who are known to have gone outside Pakistan, should be enumerated as absentees at their normal place of residence. The country they are visiting should be written in sp ace 4. The Persons answering on behalf absentees should sign the slip as a guarantee of good faith. e. Visitors found in the house are dealt with in

accordance with tbe detail in the Preliminary questions. If not already enumerated they should be enumerated where they are found no matter from where they come unelss tbey will be at their normal place of residence in Pakistan at some later time during the enumeration period. If you enumerate tbem you must warn them not to allow themselves to be enumerated again under tbe penalty laid down in the Act, anti they should sign the slip.

2. NOTES ON THE QUESTIONS:-Q. 1. Name: Statistically names bave no signi

ficance and the record of them will be destroyed. The reason for the question is to assist you, the enumerator, in obtaining reliable information and in prevellting double counting. Except for visitors Women's names may be omitted if the respondent so desires. Relationship to Head ~f Houeshold is also asked

merely as a check on accuracy. Sex. Every person will be classed eitber as male

or female. Q. 2 Age: Use the" month" space only for

infants under one year. Record all older person's ages in complete years at last birthday.' For respondents wbo do not know their ale in year estimate it in single, years up to 25 and to the nearest 5 years abeve that age. Prepare for yourself a list of well-known local happenings in these periods of the past to heolp respondents fix their age group in that way. '

Marriage: '" Single" means that a person baa never been married at all. Otherwise,.a person must either still be IlllIrried (M) or the husband/wife must have'died (W), or else the marriage must have been legally dissolved (D). .

Q. 4. Nationality: Write down exactly what the respondent says. People know quite well whether they re,ard themselves as Pakistanis or not and it is their opinion that has to be recorded.

A "Higher (post-graduate) Degree" means M.A., M.Sc .• M.D., etc. The Eliminating Qllestion:-

Except for question 16 the rest of the questionnaire deals with economic activities. Children under 12 are not therefore asked any further questions. To all others tbe question on self-support is asked to catch all the people who support. themselves from th.eir own income, salary or wages eIther in money or IQhd, or who arc seeking to do so, There is no place to record the answer because the object of the question is merely to enable you to decide whether you should ask the remaining questions or not.

Q. llA.

Q. 11.B, SlIbsidiary Occupation: means a secondary means of livelihood pursued, possibly seasonally, alternately or in addition to the usual main occu-

, pation. Special Question; There is no space on the slip for

this question but it must not be forgotton as Relit Receiving is often recorded as an occupation. The answer 'yes' to this question is recorded by ringing Z in ~pace 14 since it must be sorted and tabulated along with the other replies to Q. 14. Most rent-receivers follow some profession or business however which should be recorded as their main or subsidiary occupa,ion. If they do no work IIA and B should be marked X.

Q. 12, Occupation in January: The obj~ct of this ,question is to obtain data for a specific period of time regarding the gainfully employed population. Normally the actual main occupatiol) in January will be the same las the usual main occupation or as the subsidiary means of livelihood.

Unemployment: )f a person worked at all during January the kind of work he did will be recorded. If, however, he did 00 work at all the unemployment questions apply and are important.

Q. 13. Write the actual kind of business or service in Iwhich the person works so that he may be shown in the right one of the numerous groups into which economic activities are split. I The following are examples (but not a complete lisl):-! AGRICULTURE; split up into cultivation, Stock : raising, forestry, fisheries, etc: MINING AND QUAR'RYING; split up according to the ma~erials obtained : MANUFACTURE, split up into the various articles made BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION, PUBLIC UTILITIES, Electricity, Water, Gas etc: COMMERCE;

I Postal, Telegraph and Telephone Service. THE MAIN · PUBLIC SERVICES: split up into Education, Defence • Medical. Governmental. Municipal etc .• Services: THE PROFESSIONS i,e. Recreation, Religion, Arts etc:

,PERSONAL AND OTHER SERVICES; such as hotels and domestic service,

Q. 14. Agricultural Status: It is possible to have rings round two or more of these letters. For instance a man may hire out part of his owned land on rental and work the rest of it himself together with field which he rents from another landowner. Such a man would have rings round Z, C and A.

Q. 15, Industrial StalUs: Note that the whole, ! question concerns the main occupation given in Q. 12. People will not be classed as 'employers' merely by virtue of their employing domestic servants but only if they employ others in their profession or business. For example, a cook, is classed as an employee in his occupation, but if he is cooking for, let us say. a civil servant, that gentleman will be similarly classed as an employee in his occupation which is Government Service.

An independent worker is his owo master in his trade or business, but employs nO paid help.

8 An "!Inp~id fan:ily help is a member of the family

who assIst dIrectly to the trade or busmess of another member but receives no separate payment in cash or kind. Such persons wi![ not usually, however, have been classed as self-supportIng or partly self-supporting.

Q. 16. If a woman has been married more than once, the first two question should cover the whole period fro~ the dat~ of her first marriage. The last three questions relate only to children born since 1 March 1950.

These may be excluded by the Preliminary question from enumerati on in the block in which they are sojourning. If they will be in your block any time during the enumeration period you should make out their slip. Secondly these questions bring into the Census any normal residents in your block who are temporarily out of Pakistan.

4. The Final Check: The three weeks of careful enurmeration work must be finalised and checked during the last thrre days. During the actual Census Night on the 28th February you must make a rapid and thrOugh examination of the whole block. All neW arri vals, travellers, wanderers. homeless folk and others who are found then anywhere within your area must be questioned and, if they have not been enumerated before, a slip must be prepared for each of them.

The end of the work: The moment you are sure that you have included everybody and that your last check-up is completed. you should count all your valid slips and check the count carefully. Then count separately all the males and all the females, and see that they add up to the original total. Then count the Muhajirs, and the literate persons. Check these counts and enter the results on your Report sheet. Then hand the pads complete and whole, together with the Report Sheet to your Supervisor aDd get his receipt below.
