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.

Johi

Taluka of Larkana District, Sind, Bombay, lying between 26 degree 7' and 27 degree N. and 67 degree 11 ' and 67 degree 47' E., with an area of 760 square miles. The population in 1901 was 51,218, compared with 51,919 in 1 89 1. The taluka contains 87 villages, of which Johi is the head-quarters. The density, 67 persons per square mile, is much below the District average. In 1903-4 the land revenue and cesses amounted to 1-4 lakhs. About a quarter of the taluka is irrigated by the Western Nara system and the Manchhar Lake. The remainder depends upon the rainfall, and the harvest is therefore precarious. The soil has great capabilities, and with seasonable rain three crops of jowar are obtained from one sowing. Migration to the irrigated tracts accompanies years of scanty rainfall. The Klrthar Hills bound the taluka on the west.
