How Awami League handed over South Talpatti to India

[Black Mamba1]

What is there in Talpatti? Anybody found a gold/diamond mine there? At least oil/gas? What India gained by getting a new born island which remains under water during high tide and only visible during low tide?

India sees control over South Talpatti as ‘significant gain’
July 14, 2014 12:32


The Indian government views as a ‘significant gain’ its achievement of the control of the disputed South Talpatti, known as New Moore island in India, and concomitant access to Hariabhanga river through the verdict of the Permanent Court of Arbitration on India-Bangladesh maritime border dispute.

The Bangladesh government and local and regional media hyped the verdict as Bangladesh’s conquering the sea while the Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led alliance was criticising the government for losing the South Talpatti island.

The New Delhi-based television NDTV in its report headlined ‘UN tribunal resolves 40-year-old maritime dispute between India and Bangladesh’ on Sunday said it had accessed an internal note of the Indian government which ‘suggests otherwise’, ‘So has India lost out?’.

‘Even though India believes the delimitation has been done in an arbitrary fashion, it is not the loser. Control of the disputed New Moore Island and concomitant access to Hariabhanga river is a significant gain,’ the television channel reported.

‘The island, supposedly rich in oil and natural gas, has been a traditional sore point between the two neighbouring countries. The Hariabhanga river flows [through] the Sundarbans in West Bengal and borders Satkhira district of Bangladesh, and the region holds twice the amount of hydrocarbons as compared to the Krishna-Godavari basin in Andhra Pradesh,’ adds the report uploaded on its website on Sunday.

We will establish thermonuclear warhead equipped missile silos there. Since it goes under water for 6 months it will also serve as a natural submarine and give us second strike capability against Bangladesh in any future war.

Your reaction toward Idune as you are an Indian. Awamis are peculiar type of people. They get happy by making Indian happy. Limitless dalal league.

what have jaamat and BNP done this issue?

what have jaamat and BNP done this issue?

Has Jamaat or BNP been in power for last 8 years? Answer is NO. SO why trying prove yourself an idiot padding india installed Awami lie?

I have done some study on recent verdict of International court. Let me expose the reality of the facts few Bangladeshi claimed here-

1. None of Bangladesh or India could not show the island in satellite imagery
2. International court judges visited the area on Oct 2013. They could not find the existence of the Island. Thereafter , court did not entertain any discussion on the issue.
3. Truth is the island originated during great 1970 cyclone. After another cyclone on 1985 the island disappeared again.
4 The mostly considered the Radcliff map drawn on 1947 while giving the verdict. Based on the map Talpatti should come to India if existed.
5. It is a loss for India and gain to Bangladesh that India could not show Talpatti in the map/satellite imagery. As it would belong to India, some additional water space associated with the island would also come to India as per international law which India lost.

The propaganda Bangladeshis did here for a non existent island is ridic ulous. This is a true example of “Fighting with own Shadow”

@idune most of the jamatis are already in jail for warcrimes. I am surprised who is left outside.

So has India lost out? NDTV has accessed an internal government of India note that suggests otherwise.

Even though India believes the delimitation has been done in an arbitrary fashion, it is not the loser. Control of the disputed New Moore Island and concomitant access to Hariabhanga river is a significant gain. The island, supposedly rich in oil and natural gas, has been a traditional sore point between the two neighbouring countries.

The Hariabhanga river, which flows around the Sundarbans in West Bengal and borders Satkhira district of Bangladesh, and the region holds twice the amount of hydrocarbons as compared to the Krishna-Godavari basin in Andhra Pradesh.

The verdict is also a good news for the fishermen of both countries who now have access to a larger area for fishing.

So New Moore Island does exist.

What was the past BNP government's position on the island?

Yes it exists but under the sea and in the dream of few people. Google is free. Why dont you people try at least to acquire some knowledge before posting---


"It emerged in the Bay of Bengal in the aftermath of the Bhola cyclone in 1970, and disappeared at some later point.------- Had the island not disappeared, the eventual determination of the island's sovereignty might have had a major impact over the location of the states' maritime boundary further offshore when it is negotiated between Bangladesh and India.-------In March 2010, Sugata Hazra of the School of Oceanographic Studies at Jadavpur University, Kolkatta, India, said that the island had disappeared and that sea level rise caused by climate change was a factor"

It became more evident why indian installed Awami League handed over area of South Talpatti island to india. Anyone in Bangladesh had been padding the lie Bangladesh should not have claim area of South Talpatti and Talpatti was not significant, should be kicked out of the country and their property should be confiscated. Starting with entire Awami League and that big lair and indian dalal Rear Admiral (retd) Khurshid Alam

UN panel verdict allows India access to Hariabhanga gas reserves, Dhaka gets 20 K sqkm EEZ

For India too it is a matter of satisfaction and also a diplomatic victory for several reasons. One, the United Nations' Permanent Court of Arbitration in Hague acknowledged India's sovereignty over New Moore Island and grants India concomitant access to the Hariabhanga river.

The disputed region was near the mouth of the Hariabhanga river, an area of huge strategic importance for India in the coming decades. In 2006, India had discovered 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in a creek about 50km to the south of the mouth of the Hariabhanga within the contested region. The Hariabhanga gas reserves are estimated to be almost twice what the entire Krishna-Godavari basin holds.

New Moore Island (called South Talpatti in Bangladesh) has been claimed by both India and Bangladesh ever since it came into being in Bay of Bengal following a cyclone in 1970. The uninhabited island disappeared in March 2010 due to climate change-related issues. Nonetheless, the UN tribunal’s acknowledgment of the Indian sovereignty in the area hands over considerable strategic leverage to India. That is because the region is said to be rich in oil and natural gas reserves. Now India can legally explore and exploit the natural resources in this area.

The second reason is equally important for India. While it is true that Bangladesh has ‘gained’ close to twenty thousand square kilometers in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), India has reasons to be happy as the award has split the area in question in favour of India which is significantly closer to India’s claim than to that of Bangladesh.

Thirdly, this is good news for millions of Indian fishermen in West Bengal and Odisha as well as Bangladeshi fishermen as the settlement opens up miles of unchallenged open sea that was not available to them in past four decades. This stretch of the sea has been used primarily for transit and both India and Bangladesh had been preventing each other from using it for any other purpose, particularly fishing. Fishermen from both sides would thus get a bounty at a time when fish near the coast had depleted considerably, forcing them to go further out to sea entailing more costs in terms of money and time.

What was the past BNP government's position on the island?

In what context this question being asked?

On sovereignty, BNP always maintained sovereignty claim over South Talpatti and area over South Talpatti. In fact, it was Pres Ziaur Rahman who sent navy ship to contest indian intrusion.

On maritime claim, BNP sent navy officials for maritime survey training, provided fund to acquire survey ship and was preparing for filing formal claim on Bangladesh maritime boundary.

Two proofs required to discuss further on this topic-
1. First Prove South Talpatti Island exists
2. Provide any credible source (not a propaganda source please) for Indian gas discovery. I am listening the story about Sundarban oil/gas from my chieldhood at least for 25 years without any result.
