Both 1 and 2 are correct
Statement 1: The census decade 1911–1921 is the only decade in which India's population declined; the growth rate was slightly negative (about −0.3%). 1921 is therefore called the 'Year of the Great Divide' in India's demographic history. Statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2: The influenza pandemic of 1918–19 (Spanish flu) killed millions of people in India, and together with famines it caused the population fall of that decade. Statement 2 is correct.
Hence, the answer is: Both 1 and 2 are correct.
