Population

Once the British arrived, the bubonic plague was introduced to India. Approximately 200,000 people died because of this disease.  Eventually, the British turned Muslims and Hindus against each other, and so the Muslims moved up north and formed their own country, which is now called Pakistan, which drastically decreased the population of India. Also upon the British arrival, they introduced different farming techniques, and soon most famines started to dissipate; therefore the population started to increase.
