Explore a detailed portrait of the Eta District, a 19th‑century snapshot of land, people, and governance.

This nonfiction account presents geographic boundaries, area measurements, and the population as of 1872, along with the district’s evolving administrative divisions and revenue history. It reads like a field guide to a region shaped by rivers, parganahs, and changes in rule and borders.

From the layout of parganahs and tahsils to the story of town development, you’ll see how the district was organized, how land was measured and taxed, and how shifting boundaries affected administration. The text also records notable places, towns, and the mix of Hindu, Muslim, and other communities that formed the social fabric of Eta.

Geographic description: boundaries, latitude/longitude, and land area.
Population and religious composition as of 1872, plus urban and rural distribution.
Administrative changes: how parganahs, tahsils, and districts evolved under different rulers and during British administration.
Land revenue history: settlement specifics, acreage, and tax assessments across multiple periods.

Ideal for readers of historical geography, colonial administration, and regional studies of northern India.
