Chhatak Upazila
Chhatak ( bn, ছাতক) is an upazila of the Sunamganj District in Sylhet Division, Bangladesh. It is named after its headquarters, the town of Chhatak. Etymology According to the majority of researchers including Dewan Mohammad Azraf, the area got its name from ''chhātā'', the Bengali word for umbrella. It is said that upon the founding of a haat bazaar in such a rain-prone area, shopkeepers and shoppers would arrive with umbrellas and use umbrellas to prevent rain from falling on their fruits and crops. The area would be filled with umbrellas which later caused the market to be known as ''Chhātār Bazār'' (Umbrella's Market). Over time, it became corrupted into ''Chhātak Bazār''. On the other hand, Monir Uddin Chowdhury asserted that ''Chhātak'' was actually corrupted from ''Chhatrāk'', the word for an umbrella holder. He added that the area was first settled by a group of ''Chhatrāk''s who used to serve the local ruler. History After the Conquest of Srihatta in 1 ...

Sylhet Division
Sylhet Division ( bn, সিলেট বিভাগ) is the northeastern division of Bangladesh. It is bordered by the Indian states of Meghalaya, Assam and Tripura to the north, east and south respectively, and by the Bangladeshi divisions of Chittagong to the southwest and Dhaka and Mymensingh to the west. Prior to 1947, it included the subdivision of Karimganj (presently in Barak Valley, India). However, Karimganj (including the thanas of Badarpur, Patharkandi and Ratabari) was inexplicably severed from Sylhet by the Radcliffe Boundary Commission. According to Niharranjan Ray, it was partly due to a plea from a delegation led by Abdul Matlib Mazumdar. Etymology and names The name ''Sylhet'' is an anglicisation of ''Shilhot'' (শিলহট). Its origins seem to come from the Sanskrit words শিলা ''śilā'' (meaning 'stone') and হট্ট ''haṭṭa'' (meaning 'marketplace'). These words match the landscape and topography of the hilly region.

Mahalla
