Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Simrai”, the useful work is to connect “village in Uttar Pradesh, India” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122722858. Authority coordinates are 27.378, 79.096. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1981 and 1961.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. 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.
