Solution and Explanation

The distribution of India's population is influenced by several factors: 
Geographical Factors: 
Fertile plains (e.g., Indo-Gangetic plains) have high population density. 
Mountains (e.g., Himalayas) have low population due to harsh climate. 
Coastal regions attract high population due to trade and economic activities. 

Economic Factors: 
Industrialized areas (e.g., Mumbai, Delhi) have higher population due to job opportunities. 
Agricultural regions depend on fertile land and irrigation. 

Social and Political Factors: 
Areas with better education, healthcare, and infrastructure attract more people. 
Government policies, such as urban planning and special economic zones, influence population distribution. 

\[ {\text{Population distribution is shaped by geography, economy, and social factors.}} \]
