''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. ''

=Hoshiarpur Tahsil=
Western tahsil of Hoshiarpur District, Pun-
jab, lying between 31° 21' and 31° 50' N. and 75° 40' and 76° 7' E.,
with an area of 508 square miles. The population in 1901 was
264,112, compared with 273,864 in 1891. It contains the towns of
HosHi.^RPUR (population, 17,549), the head-quarters, Garhdiwala
(3,652), Hariana (6,005), and Khanpur (3,183); and 489 villages,
including Bajwara, a place of some historical interest. The land
revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to 4-3 lakhs. The tahsil
comprises the western slopes of the Siwaliks, the poor land at their
base, a central strip of fairly productive but sandy soil, and in the
west a broad belt of fertile land irrigated by wells. It is well wooded,
and the mango groves are a characteristic feature. Torrent-beds, dry
except after heavy rain, are met with every few miles.
