Etymology

The name of the union council Birote means "the land of wrestlers". The words khurd and kalan ("little" and "big") are administrative terminology dating back to Mughal times, to differentiate two areas with the same name, hence Birote Khurd means "little khurd". The words khurd ("small") and kalan ("big") are taken from Persian. (cf. Britannia major, "Greater Britain" and Britannia minor "Lesser Britain").

Birote Kalan is located in the south eastern part of Abbottabad District and borders the Bagh District of Kashmir, and was consequently affected by the 2005 Pakistan earthquake as the epicentre was in Kashmir.

Subdivisions

The Union Council is subdivided into the following areas:

gollark: API coherency: drop stuff like XMLHttpRequest which is obsoleted by cleaner things like `fetch`, actually have a module system and don't just randomly scatter objects and functions in the global scope, don't have a weird mix of callbacks, events and promises everywhere.
gollark: Alternatively, cross-origin stuff is allowed but runs with separate cookies, caches, etc. to first-party requests, and comes with a "requested from this origin" header.
gollark: Cross-origin fixes: *no* use of crossdomain resources unless the other thing opts in. This breaks image hotlinking and such, which is annoying, but fixes CSRF entirely.
gollark: That doesn't really help with the security issues though.
gollark: Maybe a standard interface for external plugins for access to that stuff, so browsers wouldn't need to implement all the APIs individually?
