Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Durjanpur”, the useful work is to connect “village in Uttar Pradesh, India” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122915603. Authority coordinates are 27.139, 79.346. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1981 and 1961.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
