Until 2015, dozens of pieces of territory in India and Bangladesh were completely surrounded by the neighboring country.

So intricate was the border that the only recorded thirdorder enclave existed there: Dahala Khagrabari was an Indian parcel surrounded by Bangladesh, which in turn bordered entirely on India, all nestled in the main portion of Bangladeshi territory.

The 50,000 residents were forgotten and almost locked in a vicious circle. They could not cross the borders because they did not have documentation. And they couldn't process their papers because they couldn't cross the border.
