Here is a map that I created that shows projected population in India in 2015. The data comes from the Population Count Grid, Future Estimates of the Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3). Future Estimates consists of estimates of human population for the years 2005, 2010, and 2015 by 2.5 arc-minute grid cells and associated data sets dated circa 2000. For more information, view the metadata.
As with my other maps, I created this map using Esri ArcMap 10. Each 2.5-min cell contains a value of the estimated population for that area in 2015. I have overlayed the population layer on top of the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Basin layer.
Unfortunately, I was not able to create a legend for this map. I have shared an ArcMap document (.mxd), a PDF file, and JPEG image via Google Drive. By selecting the population layer in the .mxd file and using the identification arrow, you can find out the population for that 2.5-min cell..
