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.

Morsi Taluk

Taluk of Amraoti District, Berar, lying between 21° 12' and 21° 34' N. and 77° 48' and 78° 29' E., with an area of 622 square miles. The population fell from 152,374 in 1891 to 143734 in 190 1, its density in the latter year being 231 persons per square mile. The taluk contains 231 villages and four towns, MorsI (population, 8,313), the head-quarters, ANarud (7,179), Sendurjana (6,860), and Ner Pinglai (5,408). The demand for land revenue in 1903-4 was Rs. 5, 1 8, 000, and for cesses Rs. 41,000. The taluk lies chiefly in the fertile valley of the ^^'ardha river, which bounds it on the east and south-east ; but a narrow tract along its north-western border occupies the lower slopes of the Satpura Hills.
