Abstract

This is a brief history of the evolution of official and academic Statistics in India which focuses mainly on the period 1930 to 1960 but traces its origins in antiquity and recent history. We also comment on how Statistics has continued to evolve since the 1960's. This is a history of both institutions and people, who built and shaped them, and of ideas. Ceci est une coute histoire de l'évolution de la Statistique officielle et acadeémique en Inde. Nous retracons l'hisoire à patir des origines de l'antiquité jusqu'à l'histoire plus récente mais potons plus d'atention sur la péiode des années 1930 à 1960. Ceci et lhistoire d'institutions, des gens qui les batirent et les formèrent eet d'idées.
