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.

The population in 1901 was 74,876, compared with 63,627 in 1 89 1. The number of villages is 141, of which Tando Bago is the head-quarters. The density, 107 persons per square mile, is a little below the District average. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to about 2 lakhs. The taluka is a low-lying and well-watered alluvial plain, apt to suffer from floods rather than from drought. Most of the irrigation is from canals, and the chief crops are rice, cotton, sugar-cane, wheat, and barley.
