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.

Sanghar

Taluka of Thar and Parkar District, Sind, Bombay, lying between 25 40' and 26 15' N, and 68 51' and 69 25' E. In 1901 it had an area of 1,050 square miles, and the number of villages was 63. The present area is 830 square miles, the reduction being due to the creation of new talukas. The population in 1901 was 40,341, compared with 41,265 in 1891. The density, 49 persons per square mile, is considerably above the District average. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to 1-3 lakhs. The head- quarters are at Sanghar. The taluka is mainly irrigated by the Mithrao Canal, rice being the principal crop.
