Talk:India–Bangladesh enclaves

message: I tried to find this on Google Maps (around "Patgram, Rajshahi, Bangladesh"), and I think I found the correct region because the borders approximately match. But the enclaves and exclaves were not on the map. Am I looking in the wrong region, does Google Maps have it wrong, or have the two countries solved the "problem" since? --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 13:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Every map is a simplification, so that surprises me less than the accuracy of Google's map of Baarle. —Tamfang (talk) 23:29, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm guessing that this means
: A Bangladeshi exclave, administratively part of Pathgram upzila in Lalmonirhat zila, lies within the Indian province of West Bengal.
but I'm not going to change it without confirmation. —Tamfang (talk) 19:40, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

message: ===List of enclaves and exclaves===
====Bangladesh====
In order to distinguish chhits having the same names, serial numbers established by Banerjee (1966) are shown in parentheses, as (#).  The Bangladesh series is separate from the India series.
With 4 exceptions (Chhat Tilai, Baikunthapur Teldhar (#3, #4, #5)), the first-order enclaves, including the 3 composite enclaves, lie entirely within the Cooch Behar District of West Bengal state, India.  All 21 counter-enclaves lie within the Rangpur Division of Bangladesh.

replies: text: As pointed out by Jeff CA above, a chhit or simply chit refers to small pieces of something, such as a chit of paper and contemporary meaning handing out to parcels of land; which the King and neighbouring Maharajas exchanged as a parcel or small pieces of areas involving landlords exchanging them within the territory.

replies: text: The journal Punjab Geographer of October, 2009, has an article with the following end note: "The Berubari dispute was one arising from an omission in the written text of the Radcliff Award (Radcliff Award was to decide Indo-Pakistan boundary in the eastern sector between East Bengal and West Bengal) and erroneous depiction on the map annexed therewith. Radcliff had divided the district of Jalpaiguri between India and Pakistan by awarding some thanas to one country and others to the other country. The boundary line was determined on the basis of the boundaries of the thanas. In describing this boundary, Radcliff omitted to mention one thana. Berubari Union No. 12 lies within Jalpaiguri thana which was awarded to India. However, the omission of the thana Boda and the erroneous depiction on the map referred to above, enabled Pakistan to claim that a part of Berubari belonged to it. The dispute of Berubari was resolved by the Nehru-Noon Agreement of 1958 whereby half of Berubari Union No. 12 was to be given to Pakistan and the other half adjacent to India was to be retained by India. In addition, four Coochbehar enclaves contiguous of this part would also have gone to Pakistan. The total area of South Berubari Union No. 12 is 22.58 km2 of which 11.29 km2 was to go to Bangladesh. The area of the four Coochbehar enclaves which would also have to go to Bangladesh was 6.84 km2 making the total area to be transferred 18.13 km2. The population of the area including the four enclaves to be transferred, as per 1967 data, was 90% Hindu. The Bangladeshi enclaves, Dahagram and Angrapota, were to be transferred to India. Their total area was 18.68 km2 and as per 1967 data more than 80% of their population was Muslim. If this exchange had gone through, it would have meant a change of nationality for the population or migration of the population from Dahagram and Angrapota and South Berubari Union No. 12 and consequent serious rehabilitation problems. There were major agitations by the people of Berubari protesting against the transfer." Jeff in CA (talk) 11:56, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it doesn't. Those numbers are derived from a detailed inspection of the lists (from Whyte (2002)) compared to the published reports in the news media. Jeff in CA (talk) 08:34, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Is there now, after the land exchange, a "normal" border between India and Bangladesh? Or are there still un-exchanged enclaves along the border. THE ARTICLE IS VERY UNCLEAR ABOUT THIS. If there still are un-exchanged territories, please make a complete list over them, in addition to the Former Enclaves list.

replies: text: There is one enclave that remains after the exchange, Dahagram-Angarpota. The "unexchanged" enclaves to which the article refers are the counter-enclaves.  When the enclaves that contained the counter-enclaves were exchanged, those counter-enclaves were "freed", or dis-enclaved. The enclaves around them went away, so the counter-enclaves automatically ceased to be enclaves as well, because they were unexchanged. Jeff in CA (talk) 08:18, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of enclaves left after the swap? 

message: I have been puzzled over why the exclaves were not wiped out in the Partition, and recently learned the answer, which is not given in the article.  Cooch Behar, with its exclaves and holes, was a native state (the only one in Bengal?), whose raja had the option of joining either India or Pakistan.  If he joined Pakistan, the exclave problem would vanish, but he didn't.  The only way I see for the Radcliff Commission to avoid the problem completely was to offer the raja a swap; perhaps some members of the Commission vetoed that.  —Tamfang (talk) 18:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
