HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY – Bhind, the Northernmost District of Madhya Pradesh and in the North East of Gwalior is situated at 26°34'50" latitude and 78°48'05" longitude. The district lies in the valleys of Chambal and the Sind and amidst two rivers the Kunwari and the Pahuj. The district spans from 25°54'5'' North to 26°47'50'' North and from 78°12'45'' East to 79°8'30'' 79°8'30'' East. The shape of the district is semi circular, bulging towards the north east.The greatest length of Bhind district measures about 105 kms from south east to north west. The District is bounded by Agra and Etawa districts of Uttar Pradesh in the north and Gwalior and Datia districts in the south. The eastern boundary is closed by the districts of Etawah Auraiya and Jalaun of Uttar Pradesh in the east, where as the western and north western boundaries are common with Morena district. The north western boundary is marked by the Asan and the Kunwari rivers, the northern and eastern boundaries being traversed by the Chambal and the Pahuj. The entire District lies in the Chambal valley. It forms the south western part of Ganga Valley. The Hills are only a few, small and isolated, mostly in the south west. It is only in the Bhind Tehsil that the rivers flow towards east. The topology of Bhind is the topography of the valley plains. The plains at present are closely cultivated fields devoid of trees, stubbed with shrubby growth only along the moist hollows, and thickly populated. The only divisions of topography are offered by the network of rivers with deep channels and steep bank. The widest plane of the district lies in the western part around Gohad, Mehgaon and Mau. The ravine lands extend along both sides of the rivers and their tributaries. These ravines were the ideal shelters and bypass routes of dacoits. The ravine areas are mostly unsuitable for cultivation and settlements though by reclamation it can be controlled. The district is crossed by a number of rivers and streams. The Chambal and the Sind are the main rivers of the district. The Chambal forms the northern boundary. As the 2 rivers are the tributaries of the Yamuna, they form parts of the Ganga drainage system. Apart from these, the other important rivers of the district are the Kunwari, the Pahuj, the Asan and the Vaisali. The total area of the district is 4,459 km². The soil of Bhind is very fertile and is well drained by the Chambal, Kali Sind, Kunwari or Kwari, Pahuj and Baisali rivers and by an extensive canal system. Formerly there were four tehsils, Bhind, Mehgaon, Gohad and Lahar, but at present there are nine tehsils: Bhind, Ater, Mehgaon, Gormi Gohad, Lahar, Mihona, Mau and Raun. The Bhind is a district of the Chambal Division. It is well known fact that the region has been subjected to depredations of dacoits, robbers or thugs since ages. The majestic Chambal, surrounded yawning chasms and gaping Beehads (ravines) provide an ideal setting to this murky banditry in a big way. Even during Mughal times the powerful administration failed to curb these menace. As many as 216 dacoits were shot dead and 697 arrested in Bhind district alone from 1959 to 1963. 8 Climate of District – The Climate of Bhind is characterized by general dryness, except during the south-west monsoon season.

The district being adjacent to the bordering districts of U.P. like Agra, Etwaha, Jalon & Jhansi witnessed many incidents of poll related violence in the past. There is generally a situation of tension and vulnerability due to personal enmity or tussle in various villages of the district . Bhind district has the deep ravines of Chambal, Kuari and Sindh rivers which are generally used as hideouts by outlaws. The forest in most areas of the district make our movement very difficult. The people of the district are divided on caste lines and this give rise to violence and tension. During the poll period a sudden increase in violence is often seen. Apart from it, Bhind is a large district having a large area. At many places, 'Thanas' are very far from one another. Many polling stations are located in zigzag and ravine-affected areas of the rivers in the district where the movement of polling staff and security forces is not so easy.
