Talk:Zafarabad, India

Merge ?

I spent some time on this and suspect that the article should merge with Jafarabad, Uttar Pradesh. The names appear to be used interchangeably.

References at Jafarabad analyzed

The first reference to "52nd REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER FOR LINGUISTIC MINORITIES IN INDIA" does not clarify anything.

• The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica reference says, "JAFARABAD, a state of India, in the Kathiawar agency of Bombay, forming part of the territory of the nawab of Janjira; area, 42 sq. m.; pop. (1901), 12,097; estimated revenue, £4000. The town of Jafarabad (pop. 6038), situated on the estuary of a river, carries on a large coasting trade." That would be far to the east, not Uttar Pradesh.

This map indicates Jafarabad

• The census reference is for "Jafarabad", but shows it in the same district.

A look at the Google map shows that Zafarabad is located on the Gomti River (not at an estuary) and has a rail line.

A look at this map shows the same location with the Jafarabad name].

There is also this village called Jafrabad not in Jaunpur District. --LilHelpa (talk) 23:41, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
