A common mistake

Bangladesh is mostly upland.→Bangladesh is mostly floodplain, with uplands in the east.

Most of the country is low, flat delta. The uplands are the hill districts of the east and the Barind terrace in the north-west — and upland rice, grown without standing water, is a term worth knowing here.
