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.

Indi Taluka

Northernmost taluka of Bijapur District, Bombay, lying between i6° 56' and 17° 29' N. and 75° 33' and 76° xi' E., with an area of 838 square miles. It contains 121 villages, but no town, the head-quarters being at the village of Indi. The popu- lation in 1901 was 75,961, compared with 92,479 in 1891. The rate of decrease was very high, and the density of population is lower than in other talukas, owing to the poverty of the soil. The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was 2-03 lakhs, and for cesses Rs. 15,000. Indi is an unbroken and almost treeless plain. Towards the south and south-east near Hutturki, Tamba, and Shirshad, and along the streams running by those villages, the country is populous and well cultivated and the villages are comparatively rich. The annual rainfall averages nearly 25 inches.
