Hello List Susan said: Does anyone know where a place named Arsekene or Arsekere was in India? It had a railway connection in the early 1900s. As others have said, the place is Arsikere. There is a FIBIS Fibiwiki page <http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Arsikere> http://wiki.fibis.org/index.php?title=Arsikere which says it was a railway junction on the Mysore State Railway where the metre gauge line from Poona divided to go to Bangalore or to Mysore.
