Analysis of Inconsistencies
Issue Observation Possible Reasoning
Geographic mismatch City described as in Odisha but all place names (Bihar, Bengal Presidency) are historically part of eastern India, not Odisha. Likely an error in the dataset where state information was misattributed; perhaps a templating mistake.
State name vs. district District "Khagaria" is actually in Bihar. Confusion between state and district designations; maybe the data source had a typo or mixed up administrative levels.
Historical context References to Bengal Presidency, Khagaria, and Bihar all belong to 19th-century British India. Odisha was part of Central Provinces & Berar then. The dataset might have conflated two separate historical regions due to overlapping names.
Geographic mismatch "Khagaria" is a district in eastern Bihar; not near Odisha. A possible mislabeling: the name "Khagaria" could be used for a different locality within Odisha but was incorrectly matched.
Data integrity concerns The dataset shows clear evidence of erroneous administrative mapping. This points to a need for data cleansing and validation when merging datasets across regions.

4. Key Take‑aways
Historical context is essential: Understanding the shifting boundaries in colonial India reveals why certain place names appear in multiple contexts.
Administrative units must be verified: Districts like Khagaria belong to Bihar; they cannot simultaneously be part of Odisha without a different locality sharing that name.
Data validation safeguards research: Cross‑checking with authoritative gazetteers or census records helps avoid propagation of geographic inaccuracies.
