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.

Sirsilla

Taluk in Karimnagar District, Hyderabad State, with an area of 1,018 square miles. The population in 1901, including ,jagirs, was 123,722, compared with 134,337 in 1891, the decrease being due to famine and cholera. The taluk contains one jagir town, Vemal- wada (population, 5,372), and 178 villages, of which 24 are jagir, while Sirsilla (3,400) is the head-quarters. The land revenue in 1901 was 3.9 lakhs. Rice is largely grown by means of tank and well irrigation. The Maner river crosses the south of the tiiluk. Its soils are mostly sandy, and well suited for kharif crops, which are largely grown. In 1905 a few villages were transferred from this taluk to Kamareddipet in Nizamabad District.
