At the time of partition in 1947, the border between India and East Pakistan (modern day Bangladesh) was left extraordinarily complex with 102 Indian enclaves found in Bangladesh while 71 Bangladeshi enclaves were found in India. This border also included the world’s only instance of a counter-counter-enclave, Dahala Khagrabari, whereby a piece of Indian territory was found within a piece of Bangladesh, which was itself in a piece of India within Bangladesh. To simplify their international borders, the two countries agreed to exchange enclaves in 1974 with a revised agreement reached in 2015 which transferred land between the two and allowed residents of the area to travel freely between the two countries.
