The '''1961 Census of India''' was the 10th in a series of [[census of India|censuses]] held in [[India]] every decade since [[Census of India prior to independence|1872]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vijayanunni, M.|date=26–29 August 1998|title=Planning for the 2001 Census of India based on the 1991 Census|url=http://www.ancsdaap.org/cencon98/papers/india/india.pdf|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081119080707/http://www.ancsdaap.org/cencon98/papers/india/india.pdf|archive-date=19 November 2008|access-date=25 March 2021|website=18th Population Census Conference|publisher=Association of National Census and Statistics Directors of America, Asia, and the Pacific|location=Honolulu, Hawaii, USA|format=[[PDF]]}}</ref>

The population of India was counted as 438,936,918 people.<ref name="Census1961">{{cite web |author=Mallikarjun, B. | date=5 August 2002 |publisher=M. S. Thirumalai |journal=Languages in India |url=http://www.languageinindia.com/aug2002/indianmothertongues1961aug2002.html |title=Mother Tongues of India According to the 1961 Census | volume= 2 | issn=1930-2940 |accessdate=11 December 2014}}</ref>

==Language data==
The 1961 census recognized 1,652 ''mother tongues'', counting all declarations made by any individual at the time when the census was conducted.<ref name="Census1961"/> However, the declaring individuals often mixed names of languages with those of dialects, sub-dialects and dialect clusters or even castes, professions, religions, localities, regions, countries and nationalities.<ref name="Census1961"/> The list therefore includes "languages" with barely a few individual speakers as well as 530 unclassified "mother tongues" and more than 100 idioms that are non-native to India, including linguistically unspecific [[demonym]]s such as "African", "Canadian" or "Belgian".<ref name="Census1961"/> Modifications were done by bringing in two additional components- place of birth i.e. village or town and duration of stay ( if born elsewhere).
