From the above Table it is apparent that in 1931 the population of the area not included in Akbar's empire (referred to as South) was approximately one fourth of the total population of the country. If in 1600 the South contained about 30 to 32 or ("substantially more") say 35 million inhabitants, the total population would have been about 140 million.
