PM is on a state visit to Bangladesh.

It is news everywhere that some areas of Assam and West Bengal will be gifted to Bangladesh.

Big areas like Dhubri in Assam will be gifted.

So, expect a change in the Map of Assam and India.



Source : Headlines Today News Channel. And : NDTV

My views :

1. Bangladesh will benefit from this deal.

2. Indian Railway will get affected I think. ( Don't know exactly )

3. But it is a good step if we consider the casualties due to this bangladeshis.

Gifted? What if the residents don't want that.

1. People will automatically become the citizens of that country. (Some procedure is followed I think in such deals )

2. And yes, it is gifted because bangladeshis have already encroached some areas of West Bengal and Assam. This will re-solve a very old problem of illegal immigrates of Bangladesh to India.

3. India will also get some land in return ( but that is smaller then the one India is giving )

The main ***** reason this is happening is because the damn ***** stupid govt. don't do anything to stop the bangladeshies from sneaking into the country. And these ***** have even captured political power in the regions where those ***** live. They can't even speak Assamese *****. Today Assam, next india, i tell ya if this illegal influx problem ain't solved.

Sorry about the bad language. I hope you understand...

*****. I hope you can buy back our land with your plethora of stashed black money.

They will certainly rehabilitate them in such case of border dispute .

Maybe this has been done for the benefit of the people living in those areas. I have seen many "Indians" , the have their home in India , but their land [ agricultural ] is falls in Bangladesh territories [ This happened due to the divide in 1947 ] .. they have to travel regularly to and fro from one counrty to another , going through security checks twice daily. People living in Bangladesh have a hard time to shop for the basic amenities because the nearest "Haat Bazaar" falls in Indian region.

One hardly cares what nationality he is or going to be when he faces a hard time just to provide two square meals everyday for his family. If proper division relievs the people of much hassle in future and better usage of the Teesta river , it should definitely be done.

before starting such threads it is the duty of the op to present righteous facts otherwise a thread will have a string of misinformed kneejerk comements/posts like this thread does...

there are 'indian enclaves' in bangladesh and 'bangladeshi enclaves' in india along the border. this is a mutual deal to 'swap' those enclaves as these enclaves havent received development from either countries as both countries think they arent 'their' people.

thread title is poor..dont make it sound like part of some indian 'state' is being 'gifted' or 'ceded' when clearly it is NOT the case.

India, Bangladesh sign historic boundary agreement, Teesta treaty on hold

everyone should have read this link from the first post before commenting.

You talk about FACTS Huh ?

1. There is much more to do with this subject then "Only Exchange of ENCLAVES"

2. Too many Army / CRPF / Boarder Security Forces lost their LIFE in this boarder town due to illegal immigrates (Bangladeshis).

3. This ruthless OUTSIDERS Killed innocent Indian People.

4. There is problem of FOOD / WATER etc.. on the other side of this boarder.

5. If you really wants to see and understand the actually ground reality ( before you make your comment ) then please go and visit ASSAM.

6. I am not against this move and support it only because this will bring some sort of peace in this board towns.

7. BTW is over NOW, the enclaves has already been exchanged.

Read this article from HINDU. BJP as a national party is using the word "GIFTED"

The Hindu : NATIONAL / NEW DELHI : BJP alleges land transfer to Bangladesh

Mr. Ram Lal charged that the UPA Government has proved to be a failure in protecting the borders of the country. “India got freedom after thousands of sacrifices. Bangladesh became a free country only with the help of India. The same Bangladesh has been gifted valuable land of Assam by a weak Government though it still continues to provide shelter to anti-Indian elements,” he said.

Sep 30, 2011 at 5:46 PM
Well the original thread title "Assam soon to be part of Bangladesh" gave the impression that India is gifting the entire state of Assam to Bangladesh when it was not even close to that. At first impression it seemed really a deliberate wind up attempt and could have attracted unwanted actions as well, but you got a benefit of doubt there in assumption that it was an honest mistake.

You should be careful with thread titles, since that's the first impression of a thread, having a thread title with misinformed and/or likely to be misunderstood information is dangerous and often leads to closure of threads and sometimes even more regretted outcomes. Just saying, don't shoot the messenger. :)

There is a lot of controversy going on here about this issue. The health minister claims that not even a needles length of land is being given but we all know that around 150 acres is being given. But the Data on what exact parts are being given is not very specific.
The chief minister says one thing but again the Health minister says another thing. The day this land is finally given I think there will be lots of controversy.

the more you post the more u are proving yourself as misinformed. fact number one.

an indian enclave is like an indian island in bangladeshi territory and a bangladeshi enclave is an bangladeshi island in indian territory. BJP morons dont seem to know this and same is the case with u too..

these enclaves have not seem any development because either countries have refused to touch them. so..the part of assam or west bengal which we are giving them is surrounded by bangladesh on every side..and the part of bangladesh which we are getting is surrounded by us on every side.

and there is no controversy in this case. this is something which will be of mutual benefit. its idiots like like tech&me causing controversy. and i fail to understand how is a land surrounded by another country valuable to you if u cant reach it???

Enclave and exclave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

we arent gifting anyone anything. this is a give and take offer. if something is getting resolved..we see idiots popping up causing controversies.

edit:
please dont send me retarded PMs. my main gripe was with your first post which didnt portray facts rightly. it didnt portray any fact rather. your every other post is gibberish to me as it isnt somelthing i am concerned with. i am only talking about the first post of this thread which only made you come across as an idiot.

First of all stop giving orders to the moderators. Moderators know much better than you how to handle the forum issues as they have far better behind the scenes view, and judgement skills, thank you very much. Sarcastically taunting a mod will do you no good.
An "idiot" word is certainly not a ban-worthy offence unless it amounts to harrassment, which is clearly not the case here, as this is simply a one off argument where the posters lost control. Appropriate action has been taken against Joker already anyway.
Thirdly no need to get emo over everything, get a grip please.

P.S.: And there's nothing wrong in calling BJP morons. They are morons indeed, so are Congress, CPM, BSP, SP, or any major political party for that matter.

I was a member of this FORUM since 2004.

I was the one of the FIRST person to be BANNED here by Raaabo himself ( with a long explanation to me )

Raaabo was polite and never showed that as an ADMINISTRATOR he has the power to do whatever he wants. He just BANNED me to see the reaction on me.

I was unbanned after 3 hours......... !!! ......... that was TRUE judgement.

But I am afraid, some MODERATORS NOW think they KNOW EVERYTHING about this forum and am sorry to say this Moderators are completely wrong.

I was just arguing because USE of ABUSIVE language is supposed to be not allowed in this FORUM , in whatsoever way it is said., as far as I understand.

as a normal member of this forum and with due respect I want to know why should he be banned?

The only thing he did was, he brought out facts in this thread and explained what enclaves and exclaves are. He didn't approve your first post in this thread as it lead to misinformed comments which are typically referred to as 'kneejerk' comments. (I hope you remember the title which you gave to this thread.) Only thing he told you was to start these kind of political threads in a proper manner from next time. Just saying that you'd be careful from next time would have been enough. Sometimes it is fine to bend isn't it? Or may be if someone corrects you, it hurts your ego?

Moderators know what to do and what not to do. Best way to moderate is using an invisible hammer. It's the most fair way. You don't have to tell any moderator how he should moderate. If you have issues, just PM.

You want to leave this forum? Just sign out and never login again.

*upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9a/Cooch-behar-enclaves-schematisch.png/307px-Cooch-behar-enclaves-schematisch.png

Personally, I have the same doubt as Joker. How are we 'gifting' away land?

The orange spots in Bangladesh will become theirs and the green spots in India will become ours. A more cleanly defined border? Don't you agree? It is for the better good. and the people get the choice where to live in. (still to be negotiated)

My views :

1. Bangladesh will benefit from this deal.

2. Indian Railway will get affected I think. ( Don't know exactly )

3. But it is a good step if we consider the casualties due to this bangladeshis.
all of these wrong too. like literally flat out wrong/lies.
