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.

Khajuha Tahsil

Western tahsil of Fatehpur District, United Provinces, comprising the parganas of Bindkl, Kora, Kutia Gunir, and Tappa Jar, and lying between 25 degree 51’ and 2 6° 16' N. and 8o° 14' and 8o° 47' E., with an area of 504 square miles. Population fell from 206,711 in 1891 to 199,223 in 1901, the rate of decrease being the highest in the District. There are 385 villages and three towns, the largest being Bindki (population, 7,782). Khajuha, the tahsil head- quarters, has a population of 2,944. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 4,42,000, and for cesses Rs. 71,000. The density of population, 395 persons per square mile, is below the District average. The tahsil extends from the Jumna to the Ganges, and is crossed by the Rind. A considerable area is covered by the ravines of the Jumna and Rind, which are absolutely waste, though they provide grazing for herds of cattle. In 1903-4 the area under cultivation was 276 square miles, of which 83 were irrigated. The Fatehpur branch of the Lower Ganges Canal at present serves about one-third of the irrigated area, but is likely to take a larger share. Wells supply most of the remainder.
