Dohazari

Dohazari is a municipal area in southeast Bangladesh, lying in Dohazari municipality of Chandanaish Upazila in Chittagong District. According to its Wikipedia article the settlement grew from the Mughal conquest of the Chittagong region in 1666, when the Arakanese were expelled and Mughal officers settled the territory. One of them, the Rajput mansabdar Lakhsman Singh Hazari, is credited as the founder of Dohazari and established a fort here as the centre of his mansabdari. The name is explained either as a camp of two thousand soldiers or as a form of his rank title Do Hazari. His descendants, the Hazari family, later held the area as zamindars, and the town became a business centre of South Chittagong. It is the railhead of an extension of the Bangladesh Railway line toward Cox's Bazar, and the infobox records 40,147 residents in 2011.
