Somehow I am not surprised that nobody wants to move to Bangladesh :-) From all "Indian-like" countries (e.g., India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc), Bangladesh is absolutely the worst.

Yeah, no doubt. But NOT A SINGLE PERSON? It seems a little bit strange even for that armpit of the world:)

Well, if you recall that the borders of these states were arbitrarily drawn by British before they left, it will come as no surprise that none of the Bangladeshi enclave residents wanted to move to a much poorer country (Bangladesh). Especially, if most of them were Hindu. It seems that the woman on the photo is indeed Hindu.

Do you see the difference?o_O

By the way, I'm not sure about that borderline being "arbitrarily drawn by British before they left". The history of these enclaves is much older: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India%E2%80%93Bangladesh_enclaves
