Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts.Many units have since been renamed.

=Badarpur=

Badrpur Village in the Karimganj subdivision of Sylhet
District, Eastern Bengal and Assam, situated in 24 51' N. and 92
33' E., on the south bank of the Barak close to the boundary of
Cachar. When the Burmese invaded Cachar in 1824, the British troops
met and defeated them near this spot. The remains of an old fort are
still to be seen on a rock overhanging the river. Badarpur is now
an important junction on the Assam-Bengal Railway. The main line
crosses the Barak by a fine bridge 454 yards long, which is raised
sufficiently high above the river to admit of the passage of steamers at
all seasons of the year. A branch line runs along the south bank of
the river to Silchar. There is a temple of Siddheswar in the neighbour-
hood, at which. a bathing fair is held every year in Mareh.
