Source-derived summary

Khanzadipur is a small village located 42 km from the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Geography and people

Village area is 203 hq and the population is 732 (384 males, 348 females). Although it is a small village, it is home to a diverse group of local residents comprising farmers, artisans, weavers, teachers, truck drivers, professors, retired government and private sector employees and many others. Entertainment options are quite limited in the village as there are no movie theaters and village folks cannot depend on television because electricity is a huge problem.

Editorial summary

“Khanzadipur” enters the record as village in Uttar Pradesh, India. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Khanzadipur, village and Uttar can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 94-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Khanzadipur, village and Uttar.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Khanzadipur” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Khanzadipur, village and Uttar provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

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 Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6400433. Authority coordinates are 25.100, 82.933. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
