History of Modern Maharashtra

Description

The W. H. Sykes, Statistical Reporter to the Government of Bombayestimated the absolute Population of Khandesh, Pune, Ahmednagar and Dharwad around 27 lakhs in 1828. This gives us an overall thought of the population figures. In the event that we disregard the non-Marathi-talking territories and include the zones like, Nasik, Sholapur, Kolhapur, and the Kokan, we can safely show up at a figure of between 35 to 40 lakhs. It may not surpass fifty lakhs regardless of whether we incorporate the regal states secured by the Marathi-talking areas.
