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.

Shahdadpur Taluka

Taluka of Hyderabad District, Sind, Bombay, lying between 25 42' and 26 i6'N. and 68 27 and 69 o' E., with an area of 644 square miles. The population in 1901 was 73,504, compared with 58,720 in 1891. The density, 114 persons per square mile, is a little less than the District average. The land revenue and cesses in 1903-4 amounted to about 1*8 lakhs. The number of villages is 102, of which Shahdadpur is the head-quarters. The tahtka stands at a high level and is therefore devoid of grass ; but it produces the best cotton in the District, and also good bajra, and tobacco crops.
