From geography to indigenous population of the Americas.....by K J S Chatrath

 

                                                     Rough indicative map of the Americas

 In South America, Bolivia has the highest percentage of indigenous population at about 41% as per 2022 figures.

 Guatemala in Central America, as indicated by the 2021 census, had over 43.5% of its population self-identifying as indigenous. Guatemala's indigenous population is primarily made up of Mayan groups.

The rough number of indigenous people in North America in 1494, as the rough estimates indicate, was around 10 million. This number today is estimated to be only between 4 and 7 million.

Any idea where have the remaining 3-6 million indigenous inhabitants disappeared?

  Unending news of rapes is shocking. My suggestion would be to award the following punishment to the person found guilty of rape by a court of law:   (i) Compulsory Physical castration (ii) Compulsory Whipping (iii) Circulation of the photo in media and TV of the man castrated for rape    Necessary amendments to the law could be made including (i) No adjournment to be allowed while the case is being heard and (ii) setting up of a time limit for completing the case.
