Catholics in Bombay: A Historical-demographic Study of the Roman Catholic Population in the Archdiocese of BombayFrom the Foreword (by Cardinal Simon Ignatius Pimenta): "An exercise in historical demography, Dr. Rajan's research studies the trends and patterns of three demographic characteristics -- birth, marriage, death -- of the Roman Catholic population in the Archdiocese of Bombay over the past hundred years. . . . This study is confined to the Catholic population in only four parishes -- Kurla, Chembur, Mankhurd, Marouli -- situated in the eastern suburbs of Greater Bombay. . . . [T]he four parish populations of Dr. Rajan's study are 'typical' of the parish populations in the rest of Greater Bombay and its suburbs." Extensive data (in both text and tables) on: births; marriages; deaths; Christian population in India (by age and sex, urban vs. rural, etc); gender ratios and distribution; baptism; mortality rates; intersections of age or gender with birth, baptism, marriage, death, etc; seasonal fluctuations in demographic data; etc etc. |
