Crazy enclaves

Enclaves are territory of one country inside another country. Most of such crazy entities are manifestations of Mr History's humour sense. The most complicated enclave system in the India-Bangladesh enclave system. This has the world's only counter-counter enclave. That is India has an enclave inside a Bangladesh enclave which is inside another Indian enclave :) This was a result of card or chess games between two Kings..And here we think that they dont have a sense of humour...But i dont think the residents of the enclaves share their enthusiasm in geography jokes and their life is a living hell with no facilities and having to negotiate international border for small things. The Dahagram-Angarkota is the only part-time enclave in the world , as the connecting Teen Bigha corridor is leased to  Bangladesh during day time

This is one topic where i found a site having much more detail than wiki

Update : These enclaves are no more, to the delight of the residents and despair of map enthusiasts, Indian PM Narendra Modi signed land transfer treaty with Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina
