Hi, Is it a mistake on my part? Because I used the shapefiles and converted it using shpescape. Also, is it necessary to have all data points to merge? E.g. does my sheet need all 544 constituencies, even though relevant data is only for a smaller number? On 17 July 2014 19:11, Sajjad Anwar

Hi Justin, Can you let us know what was the procedure to create this file, and this is accurate upto which date? I'm asking this shapefile has 2739 sub districts, and according to the census, there should be 5564. Regards, Devdatta Tengshe On Thu, Jul 17, 2014 at 11:15 PM, Justin Meyers

Devdatta, Sorry I didn't type that up. I just finished processing it and was excited and posted. The previous file i posted had 2,693 features. This file has 2,739 features. Initially I thought the data was relevant to 2001, but maybe it is 1991 (I have no metadata, the Indian government

Devdatta, Thanks for the quick response. I thought the files originated from the Survey of India, but wasn't certain. I started to create a villages dataset, but the tehsils do not really align with what the 2001 census villages state their respected tehsil parent is... So I am assuming all
