History

edit

Chhatwan was established during the time of Akbar by Zamiruddin Sardar, son of Manour Ali ancient Zamindar of this village. The name of the village was inspired by the Alstonia scholars (Chhatwan) of the terrace. There was a garden of Alstonia scholaris tree, one of the Translators in Akabari Darbar. After the establishment of New Raj Darbhanga, several expansions took place to develop the taxation system in the Mithila (region). Raj Darbhanga had 4,495 villages in 18 circles in Bihar and Bengal and employed over 7,500 officers to manage the estate at that time.[5]

According to an article in the Dainik Jagran,[6] Mahatma Gandhi came after a gruesome crisis in 1934. He was accompanied by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Jamnalal Bajaj, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, J. B. Kripalani, etc. They were dismayed by the devastation caused by the earthquake, however, the people of Mithilanchal refused to accept the relief given by the British government and the Congress. He[which?] told the people that it is not a crime to seek help in times of calamity. The earthquake victims started the relay on their call. They went to the Chhatwan village in Keoti Block to know the misery of earthquake victims. There was a meeting with the Chhatwan villager at Devi Lal Pokhar, which is today known as Gandhi Chowk Chhatwan.
