Can we explain demography through culture?
"An attempt has been made here to understand how far the culture of a community can be held responsible in the determination of its demographic aspects of life....[The authors] analyse the cultural norms and values, beliefs and superstitions, taboos and other related factors in relation to fertility.  Various situations arising out of these features have been examined in the background of different religious faiths through the categorical analysis of different [Indian] census data."
