Abstract
Regional mortality differentials in India are analyzed using data for the densely populated states of Kerala and West Bengal. "The objective of this comparative analysis is twofold: to set forth the available admittedly imprecise data on mortality levels in the two states; and to analyse socioeconomic factors commonly thought to be correlated with mortality levels....The educational and political traditions of the two states are explored in some depth and it is tentatively suggested that the broader involvement of the general population in both systems in Kerala may account for their greater demands for and higher utilisation of health and other governmental social services characteristics that in turn may contribute to the lower mortality levels." (EXCERPT)
