Talk:Tehsil

message: I just refactored the entire article—hope I didn't step on any toes.  I saw the comment:
Actually, in Pakistan, Tehsil is below District (locally referred to as Zillah) in administrative pecking order
on this talk page, so I went ahead and stated in the article that the term tehsil is preferred in Pakistan—which I know was not the point of the comment.
I didn't get into whether the next higher unit was "district" or "sub-division" in different states since a) I didn't really know and b) it's not that important to the article to make that type of enumeration - it really belongs in District#India and District#Pakistan.
Anyway, hope you like my changes, I'm just trying to help, please fix any mistakes I left/created.

thread_title:  Refactored 

message: From about mid-2004 to September 2006, this article mentioned that a tehsil was the equivalent of a county. A Google search shows that the the term "tehsil" is often translated as "county" 
I think the article should mention this fact. Statistiki 18:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Based on what you have written here, I think there may be differences between the "taluka" in India and the "tehsil" in Pakistan. The Indian taluka may be smaller and/or more developed/town-like than a Pakistani tehsil. What are the average sizes and population densities of talukas and tehsils? FYI, Pakistan has Provinces, not States, and the Provinces are no longer divided into "Divisions", which have been abolished. The "district" is now the third tier of government in Pakistan, after the Federation and the Province. Districts are subdivided into tehsils, which are subdivided into villages , townships, or municipalities. Yusufzada 18:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: County

message: I'll offer my opinion here, having lived in both Pakistan and the USA for over twenty years each.
The current article says, "It may be argued that county is more akin to the Indian or Pakistani District and that the closest equivalent to the tehsil is the civil township category used in parts of the United States". I have looked at the descriptions of the terms civil township and township. I don't see how "the closest equivalent to the tehsil is the civil township category". Pakistani tehsils contain townships, municipalities, and villages, (often more than one township or municipality, and usually many villages). Tehsils may also contain rural or undeveloped land that is not part of any township, municipality, village. Counties are usually the second-lowest tier of local government. You may cite exceptions, but that is what counties most commonly are. Tehsils are similar to counties in this respect: they are the second-lowest tier of government. A township mainly consists of a town -- a built-up, developed, urban area -- and perhaps includes a little undeveloped or rural land in its immediate vicinity. In contrast, most of the territory of a typical tehsil primarily consists of rural land. So a tehsil is not a township.  Yusufzada 18:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  A Tehsil is not a township 

message: This article is included in the category of Hindi words and phrases. I disagree with this, the word "Tehsil" is of Arabic origin and was first used in Urdu. Hindi is madeup of Sanskrit, so, when someone talks about an Arabic word, then that word will be difinitely used in Urdu and then if it is used in Hindi that must be borrowed from Urdu. Therefore, the word Tehsil is an Urdu word and it must be kept in the category of Urdu words and phrases or Arabic words and phrases. for more information see article: Urdu language. --محبوب عالم (talk) 15:15, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

message: There are large number of Community development blocks, particularly in Eastern India, where people don't even understand what a tehsil is. Merging the article on CD Blocks with Tehsil would mean a big information gap. Can somebody tell me if any state has full coverage of all its tehsils in Wikipdeia? I would like to understand the popularity of the idea in Wikipedia. By merging the article on Community Development Block with Tehsils, the idea of CD Blocks does not vanish but becomes hazy and confusing. With this merger we will be heading for confusion rather than clarity. Please note that in 2011 census data is available CD Block wise. - Chandan Guha (talk) 15:44, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

The second half of the sentence makes no sense to me - and what is "k.."? Some kind of abbreviation? Why? Harfarhs (talk) 23:01, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
