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)
A Bangladeshi exclave administrated Pathgram upzila in Lalmonirhat zila lies within the Indian province of West Bengal.

It is not clear what is meant by a "first order" or "third order" enclave or the difference between an enclave or exclave. Some of it can be gleaned from context, but clear definitions would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.44.120 ( talk) 21:54, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
There is some update on that matter: India and Bangladesh Near Resolution on Border Dispute on "The Diplomat", December 5 2014 -- 112.198.79.164 ( talk) 05:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
In order to distinguish chhits having the same names, serial numbers established by Banerjee (1966) [1] 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.

In the beginning of the article, it says that there are 106 Indian enclave, and then later it says India has agreed to give Bangladesh 111 Indian enclaves. Liam987 talk 17:25, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't know if the word refers to a legal or physical demarcation of land, and my ignorance makes it difficult to read the article. I suggest that the word should be defined when it first occurs, and its spelling should be standardized throughout the article. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 10:59, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
How can Bangladesh be receiving 111 Indian enclaves if there are only 106 Indian enclaves? -- Khajidha ( talk) 12:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

India-Bangladesh enclaves →
Bangladesh–India enclaves – (Note: The divider is an endash, –) In line with the titles for fully-NPOV diplomatic relations between countries, such as
Bangladesh–Taiwan relations or
Afghanistan–Bangladesh relations, the countries are named in alphabetic order. I've brought this up after the page was finished featuring in the main-page news. Provided there is no strong resistance and this move goes through, a redirect will be needed from
Bangladesh-India enclaves (hyphen not endash) to the new endashed
Bangladesh–India enclaves. –Â

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.

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)

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)
A Bangladeshi exclave administrated Pathgram upzila in Lalmonirhat zila lies within the Indian province of West Bengal.

It is not clear what is meant by a "first order" or "third order" enclave or the difference between an enclave or exclave. Some of it can be gleaned from context, but clear definitions would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.129.44.120 ( talk) 21:54, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

In order to distinguish chhits having the same names, serial numbers established by Banerjee (1966) [1] 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.

In the beginning of the article, it says that there are 106 Indian enclave, and then later it says India has agreed to give Bangladesh 111 Indian enclaves. Liam987 talk 17:25, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't know if the word refers to a legal or physical demarcation of land, and my ignorance makes it difficult to read the article. I suggest that the word should be defined when it first occurs, and its spelling should be standardized throughout the article. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 10:59, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
How can Bangladesh be receiving 111 Indian enclaves if there are only 106 Indian enclaves? -- Khajidha ( talk) 12:51, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus. Proposed titles created as redirects. Jenks24 ( talk) 03:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
India-Bangladesh enclaves →
Bangladesh–India enclaves – (Note: The divider is an endash, –) In line with the titles for fully-NPOV diplomatic relations between countries, such as
Bangladesh–Taiwan relations or
Afghanistan–Bangladesh relations, the countries are named in alphabetic order. I've brought this up after the page was finished featuring in the main-page news. Provided there is no strong resistance and this move goes through, a redirect will be needed from
Bangladesh-India enclaves (hyphen not endash) to the new endashed
Bangladesh–India enclaves. –Â

I see a lot of oblique mentions of the Berubari problem, but what and where is it?? — Tamfang ( talk) 20:21, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Does the agreement really specify 51 Bangladeshi enclaves (consisting of an unstated number of chhits) and 111 Indian chhits (making up an unstated number of enclaves)?? — Tamfang ( talk) 20:24, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
Does the corridor lead to Dahagram or to Angarpota? — Tamfang ( talk) 09:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
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.

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)

Could someone put the number of all the enclaves like Durgapur [example: Paschim Masaldanga (#79)], or put the coordinates for the ex-location of the enclaves, because sometimes they are small and it can be difficult localize some of them. -- 189.131.202.21 ( talk) 23:36, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
