Talk:Kathiawar

Untitled

Does the Rann of Kutch really border the Kathiawar peninsula? From the satellite photo, it appears to be past Kutch.

Kathiawad?

There is nothing that explains the random usage of the word "Kathiawad" instead of "Kathiawar" which is more frequently used in article, which led me to believe it was a typo at first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omar Hall (talk • contribs) 19:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

I propose merging Saurashtra (region) into Kathiawar. From my understanding, both terms refers to the same peninsula, creating a WP:CFORK situation. Encyclopedia Britannica article for Kathiawar Peninsula notes: "Also called: Saurashtra Peninsula". Similarly, in Gujarat's article, it states: "It encompasses the entire Kathiawar Peninsula (Saurashtra) as well as the surrounding area on the mainland".

The book, Indus Civilization in Saurashtra by Gregory Possehl, published by the Indian Archaeological Society says:

Saurashtra, or peninsular Gujarat, has an area of 23,500 square miles. The landform stands as an anomaly at the northern corner of India's western coast. The high Saurashtran plateau of Deccan Trap is separated from the remainder of India by the gulfs of Kutch and Cambay, and the marshes of the Nal depression. The presence of these three features, and the comparative altitude of the central plateau suggests that the peninsula may have been, at some yet to be determined point in the past, an island separate from the subcontinent. The present-day inhabitants of the peninsula are predominantly agriculturalists..The Doom Patrol (talk) 12:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
