And because British concerns varied with time and region, the information elicited from the decennial census operation also shifted in emphasis. Ethnography and religion, for instance, were thought to be essential elements in the earlier censuses, giving way in the twentieth century to interest in economic and industrial matters. The personality and perspective of individual census commissioner also stamped the material. Taken as a whole, the census covers a panorama of Indian life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The census material has been made wide use of by scholars from different disciplines. Yet the presence of bias, misunderstanding, and conscious distortion in them and the important problems they raise regarding the value and extent of their use have not received due attention. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 1977 the Association for Asian Studies at its New York Conference went into this issue. This volume consists of papers read at the Conference and revised later, and includes other contributions also. In them the scholars, familiar with one or more dimensions of the census pool their insights so as to raise questions and to carry forth a more extensive awareness of methodological problems involved in making use of census materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Here is a volume which all scholars doing or conducting research in social sciences will find extremely useful. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e N.
