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.

Sardarshahr

Head-quarters of the tahsil of the same name in the Sujangarh nimmat of the State of Blkaner, Rajputana, situated in 28 27' N. and 74 30' E., about 76 miles north-east of Blkaner city. Population (1901), 10,052. Maharaja Sardar Singh, before his acces- sion to the chiefship (1851), built a fort here and called the town which grew up round it Sardarshahr. In the town are a combined post and telegraph office, an Anglo-vernacular school attended by 82 boys, and a hospital with accommodation for 7 in-patients. The tahsil^ which used to be called Bharutia from the quantity of bharut grass found here, contains 187 villages, in which Jats and Brahmans preponderate.
