''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts.Many units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Suratgarh=

Head-quarters of a tahsil and nizamat of the same
name in the State of Bikaner, Rajputana, situated in 29° 20' N. and
73° 54' E., on the left bank of the Ghaggar river, and on the Jodhpur-
Bikaner Railway, 113 miles north-by-north-east of Bikaner city, and
88 miles south-west of Bhatinda. Population (1901), 2,398. The
town is named after Maharaja Surat Singh (1788-1 828), who is said to
have founded it about 1800. It possesses a fort, a post office, a verna-
cular school attended by 62 boys, and a hospital with accommodation
for 7 in-patients. Two miles to the north-east are the ruins of Rang
Mahal, said to have been the capital of a Johiya Rajput chief; a step-
well made of bricks 5/2 feet square has been found here. The tahsil
contains 126 villages, and was formerly called Sodhawati, as it was
part of the territory occupied by the Sodha Rajputs. They were, how-
ever, expelled by the Bhati Rajputs, and the majority of the population
are now Jats and Raths.
