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.

Kanethi

Petty State feudatory to the Bashahr State, Punjab lying in two portions between 31 degree 9' and 31 degree 18' N. and 77 degree 32' and 77° 40' E. The area is 19 square miles, the population (1901) 2,5751 and the revenue Rs. 4,000, about half of which is derived from forests. The present Thakur is Amog Chand, a Hindu Rajput, related to the Rana of Kumharsain. His territory is bounded by Kumharsain, Bashahr, and the Kot Khaxpargana of Simla District. The State has suffered much from misgovernment, and it has been necessary to take it under direct management. The Thakur, who is a minor, is being educated at the Aitchison College ; and during his minority the admin- istration is conducted by an official deputed by Government, who exercises full powers, except that sentences of death require the con- firmation of the Superintendent, Hill States, Simla. The State pays a tribute of Rs. 900 to Bashahr.
