Since the [[Land exchange|exchange of territory]] took place, the only remaining enclave is [[Dahagram–Angarpota]], an exclave of Bangladesh.

==History==

According to a popular legend, the [[enclave]]s were used as stakes in card or chess games centuries ago between two regional kings, the Raja of [[Cooch Behar State|Koch Bihar]] and the Maharaja of [[Rangpur District|Rangpur]].<ref name="BRW2002"/> As far as historical records are concerned, the little territories were apparently the result of a confused outcome of a 1713 treaty between the Kingdom of Koch Bihar and the [[Mughal Empire]]. Possibly, the Kingdom and the Mughals ended a war without determining a boundary for what territories had been gained or lost.<ref>[[Evgeny Vinokurov]], [http://www.vinokurov.info/downloads/ch6enclavecasestudies.pdf "Theory of Enclaves" (2005)&nbsp;– ''Chapter 6: Enclave stories and case studies, page 117: Cooch Behar''] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928140007/http://www.vinokurov.info/downloads/ch6enclavecasestudies.pdf |date=28 September 2007 }}</ref>

After the [[partition of India]] in 1947, Rangpur was joined to [[East Pakistan]]. [[Cooch Behar State]], with its exclaves and holes, was a [[Princely state|native state]], whose [[Raja]] had the option of joining either India or Pakistan. [[Cooch Behar district]] was merged in 1949 with [[India]]. The desire to "de-enclave" most of the enclaves was manifested in a 1958 agreement between [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and [[Feroz Khan Noon]], the respective Prime Ministers, for an exchange between India and Pakistan without considering loss or gain of territory. But the matter then worked into a [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]] case in India, and the Supreme Court ruled that a constitutional amendment was required to transfer the land, so the ninth amendment was introduced to facilitate the implementation of the agreement. The amendment could not be passed because of objections to the transfer of the southern Berubari enclave.<ref name="BRW2002"/><ref>{{Cite web|url = http://onelawstreet.com/1960/03/in-re-the-berubari-union-and-exchange-of-enclaves/|title = Berubari Union and Exchange of Enclaves|date = 14 March 1960|website = 1, Law Street|publisher = Supreme Court of India|access-date = 30 May 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150610003755/http://onelawstreet.com/1960/03/in-re-the-berubari-union-and-exchange-of-enclaves/|archive-date = 10 June 2015|url-status = dead}}</ref> Because of India's deteriorated relations with Pakistan, the issue remained unsolved. Negotiations restarted after East Pakistan became independent as [[Bangladesh]] in 1971 following the [[Bangladesh Liberation War]].{{citation needed|date=August 2015}}

The Land Boundary Agreement was signed on 16 May 1974 between [[Indira Gandhi]] and [[Sheikh Mujibur Rahman]] which provided for the exchange of enclaves and the surrender of adverse possessions.<ref>{{cite magazine|volume=2|issue=9|date=October 2007|url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/forum/2007/october/tin.htm|title=The Tin Bigha corridor 15 years on|first=Jason|last=Cons|magazine=Forum|publisher=The Daily Star|access-date=5 June 2017|quote=India will retain the southern half of South Berubari Union No.12 … in exchange Bangladesh will retain the Dahagram and Angarpota enclaves.

Bangladesh quickly ratified the agreement in 1974 but India failed to do so. The issue of the undemarcated land boundary of approximately {{convert|6.1|km}} in three sectors&nbsp;— Daikhata-56 in West Bengal, Muhuri River-Belonia in Tripura and Lathitila-Dumabari in Assam&nbsp;— also remained unsolved. The Tin Bigha Corridor was leased to Bangladesh in 1992 amid local opposition.<ref name="BRW2002"/>

The list of enclaves was prepared in 1997 by the two countries. Two Joint Boundary Working Groups were formed to work out the details of enclaves in 2001. A joint census was carried out in May 2007. In September 2011, India signed the Additional Protocol for the 1974 Land Boundary Agreement with Bangladesh.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mea.gov.in/Uploads/PublicationDocs/24529_LBA_MEA_Booklet_final.pdf|title=India & Bangladesh Land Boundary Agreement|publisher=Ministry of External Affairs Government of India|access-date=1 March 2015}}</ref> Both nations announced an intention to swap 162 enclaves, giving residents a choice of nationality.<ref name="economist">{{cite magazine |title=The land that maps forgot |url=http://www.economist.com/node/21015963 |magazine=The Economist |date=15 February 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Bangladesh, India to swap 162 land parcels|url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jC3MBSdkuCv8RMTee88OerJ2sFAQ?docId=CNG.d83256110765c85aab9e890617af6914.1c1 |work=Google News |agency=Agence France-Presse |date=30 August 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221124357/https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jC3MBSdkuCv8RMTee88OerJ2sFAQ?docId=CNG.d83256110765c85aab9e890617af6914.1c1 |archive-date=21 February 2014 |access-date=30 August 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Hope for Indo-Bangladesh enclaves |url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/hope-for-indo-bangladesh-enclaves-467347 |work=NDTV |date=12 September 2011 |access-date=12 September 2011}}</ref>

Indian and Bangladeshi officials conducted a field survey of enclave residents between 6 July 2015 and 16 July 2015. Seventy-five teams, made up of one Indian and one Bangladeshi member each, were tasked with conducting the enumeration. Twenty-five teams surveyed the Bangladeshi enclaves which would be transferred to India, while 50 worked on the Indian enclaves that would be transferred to Bangladesh. As the enclave residents were allowed to choose citizenship of either nation, by 13 July 2015, 100 families residing in the Indian enclaves applied for Indian citizenship, while none of the residents of the Bangladeshi enclaves chose to go to Bangladesh. New citizenship, if chosen, took effect from 1 August 2015. Nearly 14,000 people living in the former Bangladeshi enclaves became Indian citizens, while about 36,000 people living in the former Indian enclaves became Bangladeshi citizens. Some 1,000 people in the former Indian enclaves chose Indian citizenship and were to be relocated to India by December 2015.<ref name="economist" /><ref name="indianexpress.com">{{cite news |title=Land exchange deal: Will you go to Bangladesh?

==Notable enclaves==

[[File:Dahala Khagrabari English.png|thumb|300px|[[Dahala Khagrabari]] was the world's only third-order enclave. It was a piece of India within Bangladesh, within India, within Bangladesh. It was less than {{convert|0.70|ha|acre}} in area, and contained a field. ([http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Dahala_Khagrabari&params=26_9_0.18_N_88_45_44.85_E_ Maps])]]

===Bangladesh===

[[Dahagram–Angarpota]]: The largest Bangladeshi composite enclave (combining the first- and third-largest Bangladeshi chhits by area), administered as part of [[Patgram Upazila]] in [[Lalmonirhat District|Lalmonirhat]] [[Districts of Bangladesh|Zila]], lies within the Indian province of [[West Bengal]]. It is separated from the contiguous area of Bangladesh at its closest point by {{convert|178|m}}. The enclave has an area of {{convert|25.95|km2|abbr=on}} with a resident population of 20,000 people. The enclave lacks basic facilities. The lone health complex remains virtually useless because of lack of power supply, as India refused to allow Bangladesh to run power lines to the enclave.<ref name="BRW2002"/> After the exchange of enclaves in July 2015, Bangladesh retained it as an exclave.

The [[Tin Bigha Corridor]], a strip of Indian territory {{convert|85|m}} wide running from the Dahagram–Angarpota composite enclave to the Bangladeshi mainland at their nearest approach, was leased by India in perpetuity to Bangladesh for access to the enclave. It is available for use by the residents of Dahagram–Angarpota.<ref name="BRW2002"/><ref name=24hr>{{cite news |title=Tin Bigha corridor to remain open 24 hours |url=http://www.banglanews24.com/English/detailsnews.php?nssl=537ca67a1852ec7e93feda1fa86a3a05&nttl=2011090724619 |newspaper=Bangla News 24 |date=6 September 2011 |access-date=7 September 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120922065308/http://www.banglanews24.com/English/detailsnews.php?nssl=537ca67a1852ec7e93feda1fa86a3a05&nttl=2011090724619 |archive-date=22 September 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref name=24hr1>{{cite news |title=Transit tumbles into Teesta abyss |url=http://bdnews24.com/bangladesh/2011/09/06/transit-tumbles-into-teesta-abyss |newspaper=bdnews24.com |date=6 September 2011 |access-date=7 September 2011}}</ref>

===India===

Dasiar Chhara, the fourth largest Indian chhit by area, was the largest stand-alone Indian enclave (i.e., not a composite of adjoining chhits). It lay {{convert|3|km|abbr=on}} from the main part of India and had an area of {{convert|6.65|km2|abbr=on}}. 

[[Dahala Khagrabari]], enclave #51, was the world's only third-order enclave, being a piece of India within Bangladesh, within India, within Bangladesh. It was the site of a [[Jute cultivation|jute field]], owned by a Bangladeshi farmer living in the Bangladeshi second-order enclave surrounding Dahala Khagrabari. As part of the 2015 border agreement, India ceded it to Bangladesh.

Some individual enclaves were composed of several administrative units (chhits and/or [[mauza]]s).  These administrative units must be differentiated from the enclave as a whole. "This is particularly important for the Cooch Behar enclaves, where the several administrative units which together form some of the larger enclaves are commonly, but wrongly, termed enclaves themselves, or where one component unit commonly lends its name to the whole enclave. ... [T]he official Indo–Bangladesh Boundary Commission figure of 111 Indian and 51 Bangladeshi exchangeable enclaves would appear to count only individual mauzas, even when these consisted of more than one enclave."<ref name="BRW2002"/> There is not a one-to-one relationship between enclaves, chhits and mauzas.<ref name="BRW2002"/>

All of the information shown in the following two tables has been assembled from ''Brendan R. Whyte''.<ref name="BRW2002"/>

===Bangladesh===

In order to distinguish chhits having the same names, serial numbers established by Banerjee (1966)<ref name="Banerjee"/> 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, lay entirely within the [[Cooch Behar District]] of [[West Bengal]] state, India.  All 21 counter-enclaves lay within the [[Rangpur Division]] of Bangladesh. The Bangladeshi enclaves had an estimated population of 14,215 in 2015.<ref name="indianexpress.com"/>
