message: Is it really required to change time on an aircraft for a mere half hour, when it is only flying over another country?
: Of course no. What I meant was was more of theoritical and logical issue. But if someone takes a break in Bangladesh, then s/he would have technical discrepency as in moving in same direction would require time to move back-and-forth. May be I should reword the sentence.

message: Replying to some of the embedded comments: 
*However Calcutta time was officially maintained as a separate time zone until 1948 -- the source mentions that is was maintained as a separate time zone. The reason why is not mentioned.
* ...corresponding to a single time zone for the country at 5 hours and 30 minutes in advance of GMT. -- said already, although without the numbers 
*:I think it should be fine
*"all was well" -- Meaning of quote a little unclear 
*:Copied verbatim from the source. Delving into the meaning could mean original research
* 21 seconds.. 
*: it seems odd, but that's what the source says
* said already, although without the numbers
* It should be ok to mention it again
