Nasrat, 1908

This article has been extracted from THE IMPERIAL GAZETTEER OF INDIA , 1908. OXFORD, AT THE CLARENDON PRESS.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.

Taluka in Hyderabad District, Sind, Bombay, recently (1903) formed from the Moro, Sakrand, and Shahdadpur talukas, and lying between 26° 4" and 26° 37' N. and 68° 23' and 68° 56" E., with an area of 930 square miles. The population (1901) is 5,074, living in 74 villages, of which Nawabdiah is the head-quarters. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to about Rs. 86,000. The prevailing feature of the taluka is its sandhills; and prior to 1903 it consisted of a stretch of desert dependent on the rainfall. It is now irrigated by the Nasrat Canal, and produces bajra, sesamum, and cotton.
