Synopsis

By using data on the height and weight of Indians, measured in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries for commercial or scientific reasons, the studies in this book trace trends in rural well-being in North and South India over time, and consider the comparative well-being of different groups of men and women. It also addresses questions of infant and child health, and examines the influence of reservation for social groups on the physical markers of well-being.
