''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. ''

=Kaithal Tahsil=

Western tahsil and subdivision of Karnal District,
Punjab, lying between 29 degree 22' and 30 degree 12' N. and; 76 degree 11' and
76 degree 47' E., with an area of 1,289 square miles. The population in
1901 was 265,189, compared with 257,493 in 1891. It contains the
towns of Kaithal (population, 14,408), the head-quarters, and Pundri
(5,834); and 413 villages, including Pehowa, a place of religious
importance. The land revenue and cesses amounted in 1903-4 to
2 .7 lakhs. The tahsil consists chiefly of the petty principality of
Kaithal, which escheated in 1843. North of the Ghaggar, the country
is undulating and the soil contains a considerable proportion of sand.
The tract between the Ghaggar and the southern limits of the Saraswati
depression consists of vast prairies, flooded during the rains and inter-
spersed with numerous trees and patches of cultivation. This tract,
known as the Naili (Nali), is notoriously unhealthy, but the pasture it
affords is invaluable in dry years. The southern half of the taAsif is
a level plain, now irrigated by the Western Jumna Canal. On the east
is the Nardak. The people have not yet entirely abandoned their
pastoral traditions, and large tracts are still used for grazing alone.
Farther west, cultivation becomes more general, and in the extreme
south-west the soil contains a large proportion of sand.
