Answer:
Sparsely
populated areas of India are high mountain regions of Jammu and Kashmir and
Arunachal Pradesh and desert parts of Rajasthan.
Reasons:
(i) Extremely cold climatic condition, which makes living
difficult.
(ii) High and snow covered areas do not favour any kind of
habitation.
(iii) There are few regions which are fertile but they,
too, are small and scattered. Besides that, it is difficult to approach these
areas since there are no good means of transportation and communication
available.
(iv) Desert area of Rajasthan is arid, hot and dry region.
It has sandy soils, not suitable for cultivation. So, it does not favour any
habitation.
