⁴ SPATE, O. H. K. India and Pakistan,—A general regional Geography, London. 1954. A very interesting analysis of India's agricultural regions was attempted by the Reserve Bank of India (Rural credit survey), Dr. Chen Han-seng and Dr. Daniel Thorner. They have defined various criteria like—Socio-Economic systems, types of land holding, concentration of control, labour supply, control of credit market, geographic factors like soil, climate, water supply, drainage etc., economic organization and over-all degree of modernization. Yet the main regions arrived at do not very much differ from the physical regions of Spate. "The demarcation of the Agrarian regions of India" by Daniel Thorner.
