The purdah system, which limits a woman's mobility outside her home, may be an extreme example of highly segregated systems of sex role allocation, but shows many fundamental features in common with other societies. Purdah is an important institution among Muslims in Pakistan and India, but has not been well studied, partly because secluded women are inaccessible to male researchers. The purdah system is related to status, the division of labor, interpersonal dependency, social distance and the maintenance of moral standards; the two conceptual formulations used to analyze the system with reference to these factors are "separate worlds" and "symbolic shelter." In the present paper, special emphasis is placed on the influence of purdah observance and values on women's participation in modern occupations. Medicine and teaching are found to be the most important high prestige occupations for educated women because of the special needs of a female clientele in a sex-segregated system.

This paper presents statistical evidence, which seems to be conclusive, that there exists a particular pattern of mortality in Ceylon, India and Pakistan where, contrary to general experience, female mortality is higher than that of the males. The sex ratios of the enumerated population in these three countries are among the highest in the world, and the age pattern of the sex ratios is such that they increase from childhood to adulthood to the old ages. Abnormally high sex ratios and selective migration cannot account for this particular pattern, but there is evidence of a higher degree of under-enumeration of females than males. The main responsible factor, however, seems to be higher female mortality, in the ages of maternity as well as in childhood. This shows the need for a regional or local approach to some demographic problems. In this case, for instance, model life tables based on average international experience are not representative.

A critical evaluation of the available data on migration between India and Pakistan in the 1951-61 decade leads to the conclusion that there was a substantial net migration of Pakistan-born persons into India, but only a negligible net migration of India-born persons into Pakistan. Annual administrative statistics published by the Indian Government suggest an immigration from Pakistan of the order of 1.16 to 1.32 million. More importantly, birthplace data from the Indian censuses indicate a net intercensal immigration of Pakistan-born persons amounting to 1.19 to 1.34 million, depending on the assumed level of mortality. The Pakistani census data on the India-born show no net influx from India during 1951-61. Intercensal growth rates for the populations of different religious faiths in Pakistan are consistent with the estimates of net immigration into India. The migrants and the survivors of their progeny are estimated to represent a net gain of about 1.68 million by India and to account for no more than 2.2 per cent of the total population growth in India during 1951-61.

One of the greatest population transfers in history took place at the time of the granting of independence to India and Pakistan. According to the India and Pakistan census reports of 1951, there were 7,150,000 Muslim refugees in Pakistan and 7,471,000 non-Muslim refugees in India by March 1, 1951. In 1941, Sind, now in Pakistan, had a population of 4,335,008, of which 1,229,926 were Hindus. The Hindus represented about one-fourth of the population, and the Muslims three-fourths. But while they constituted a minority group in this region, the Hindus formerly held the high-status positions of merchants, shopkeepers, money-lenders, land-owners, teachers, and administrators. The Muslims, on the other hand, were mostly peasants. While rioting was going on in other regions at the time of Partition, Sind remained surprisingly peaceful until the closing weeks of 1947. Then the terror broke loose. In the last two months of 1947 and especially in January 1948 a great exodus of Hindus took place. About a million and a quarter left Sind. Of these, about half a million went south to Bombay State and settled in or near the cities, including Pimpri Colony, where, as traders and shopkeepers, the Sindhis tried to pursue their traditional lines of work.
