Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BASIM , a town of India, in the
Akola
 
district
 , Berar, 52 m. S.S.E. from
Akola
  station of the
Great
  Indian Peninsula railway. Pop. (1901) 13,823. Until 1905 it was the headquarters of the
district
  of Basim, which had an area of 2949 sq. m.; but in that
year the district was abolished, its component taluks being divided between the districts of Akola and Yeotmal. Its western portion, the Basim taluk, consists of a fertile tableland, about i000 ft. above sea-level, sloping down westward and southward to the
rich
  valley of the Penganga; its eastern portion, the taluks of Mangrul and Pasud, mainly of a succession of low hills covered with poor grass. In the Pasud taluk, however, there are wide stretches of woodland, while some of the peaks rise to a height of 2000 ft., the scenery (especially during the rains) being very beautiful. The climate of the locality is better than that of the other districts of Berar; the hot wind which blows during the day in the summer months being succeeded at night by a cool breeze. The
principal
  crops are millet, wheat, other food grains,
pulse
 , oilseeds and
cotton
 ; there is some manufacture of
cotton
 -cloth and blankets, and there are ginning factories in the town. In 1901 the population was 353, 410, showing a decrease of 11 % in the decade, due to the
famine
  of 18991900, which was severely felt in the district.
