Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Kalhat”, the useful work is to connect “human settlement in Pune district, Pune division, Maharashtra, India” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 17, 2020. The linked authority identifier is Q25248289. Authority coordinates are 18.865, 73.488. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011 and 1009.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
