The &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;1891 Census of India&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was conducted by the [[British Raj]] and covered the lands now part of [[India]], [[Pakistan]], [[Bangladesh]] and [[Burma]].&amp;lt;ref name=report&amp;gt;{{cite book |last1=Baines |first1=Jervoise Athelstane |title=General Report on the Census of India, 1891 |date=10 July 1893 |location=London, Her Majesty&amp;#039;s Stationery Office |url=https://ruralindiaonline.org/en/library/resource/general-report-on-the-census-of-india-1891/ |access-date=4 May 2021 |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Census Commissioner was [[Jervoise Athelstane Baines]], who was later knighted for his work in India. Baines changed the classification from that which had been used in the 1881 census. His obituary in the Journal of the [[Royal Statistical Society]] describes the changes as being &amp;quot;first the separation of caste from religion and, secondly, the substitution of the population &amp;#039;&amp;#039;subsisting&amp;#039;&amp;#039; by an occupation for that &amp;#039;&amp;#039;exercising&amp;#039;&amp;#039; it.&amp;quot; He wrote the resultant 300-page General Report, which had &amp;quot;a literary flavour and wide scholarship&amp;quot; rather than a mere analysis of the data.&amp;lt;ref name=RSS1926&amp;gt;{{cite journal |journal=Journal of the Royal Statistical Society |volume=89 |issue=1 |date=January 1926 |pages=182–184 |title=Obituary: Sir Athelstane Baines, C.S.I. |author1=R.H.R. |author2=S. de J. |publisher=Royal Statistical Society |location=London |jstor=2341501}}{{subscription required}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The total population reported was about 287,000,000.&amp;lt;ref name=report/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
