whats the total number that have left and stayed?

Among 39,000 residents of Indian enclaves 1,000 choose to remain Indian and will go to India. Whom are mostly from Hindu community.
Among 15,000 residents of BD enclaves no one choose to remain Bangladeshi

Damn... how could he choose the Jamaat infested, anti-Hindu, poor Bangladesh over the divine land of India protected by the RSS shield???

Can you remember what RSS activist @SarthakGanguly said? According to him works have completed to push 4 crore illegal Bangladeshis in those enclaves

4 crore! Quote me.

His next generation will sell their land at throwaway prices to their 'peaceful' neighbor and voluntarily migrate to India with nothing but their sorry lives.

If their farming land went to Bangladesh, then it is only logical for them to go to Bangladesh.

Makes sense that people living in Indian enclave choose to become a part of Bangladesh and vice-versa. If they wanted to keep living on their own land they had to either choose between changing country or living in a small island surrounded by other country, unable to go to the mainland because you do not have the passport to go through Bangladesh, and you cannot even get a passport because the passport office is in the mainland. So ya, it makes absolute sense that people from Indian enclave choose to become a part of Bangladesh because it was the practical choice to make.

This news is a b!tch slap on the face of big mouth Bharati who claim crores of Bangladeshi people are dying to go to live in their wonderful toilet less country.

Long ignored and neglected, exclave residents are in the spotlight as they make choices about their livelihood, identity and future. The third part of this report explores why some exclave residents are choosing to become Bangladeshis

Confident that he will receive the basic rights that he has been deprived of living in an Indian exclave, Shri Rajkumar Ovidash is opting to become a Bangladeshi.

“I want to live in Bangladesh because I grew up in this culture despite living on Indian land,” Ovidash, a resident of the Indian exclave of Bans Pachai in Lalmonirhat district, told the Dhaka Tribune.

Bans Pachai contains 152 families, numbering a total of 556 people, of whom not a single one wants to go to India.

Despite living on islands of Indian sovereignty within Bangladesh’s borders, India provided these exclave dwellers with precious little in the way of services; what amenities and facilities they were able to access, they accessed in Bangladesh.

There is a sense that Ovidash and others like him feel disconnected from and abandoned by India.

The 28-year-old bootmaker says he and his kin have been deprived of every basic amenity and public service, like medical care, education and administration, since the Liberation War.

“Now we will get Bangladeshi nationality and we hope the Bangladesh government will take responsibility for providing us with public services as soon as possible” he said.

“I do not want to go to India because I have some land here and have grown up surrounded by Bangladeshi people and culture,” he said.

The decision to become Bangladeshi is rooted in these exclave residents’ real ties to the land and culture – for them, nationality is rooted in a sense of community and continuity.

But, despite their preference for becoming Bangladeshi, doubts remain about their future.

“There remains some uncertainty about how we will be rehabilitated and facilitated by the Indian government,” he says.

Exclave resident Hafijur Rahman, who says he studied in Bangladesh using a fake address, is now an Intermediate-level student. As Indian nationals, exclave residents were not allowed to be admitted to schools or colleges in Bangladesh.

“We faced hassles using medical facilities in Bangladesh as well, because we did not have Bangladeshi citizenship.”

“Now, I have the opportunity to secure Bangladeshi nationality and I want to live in Bangladesh. Whatever the hassles I have faced, all the facilities I have enjoyed in my life were from Bangladesh,” he says.

Abdur Rashid, who spent 55 years of his life in Dasiar Chhara exclave in Kurigram district, does not want to go to India either. He says his kith and kin live in these parts and he wants to remain here as well.

Abdur Rashid works in a crop field and has sometimes gone to India for work.

“There are lot of work opportunities in India but I want to live in Bangladesh because my relatives are here,” he says.

Tied to the land by blood and sweat, he has decided to become a Bangladeshi citizen.

For many of those who live in the Indian exclaves, Bangladesh has provided a sense of home and hope.

With the intrusive and awkward boundary removed and the freedom to move around Bangladesh without let or hindrance restored, these soon-to-be Bangladeshis are hopeful.

He says: “Bangladesh should try to provide basic facilities including work opportunities to us. We have been deprived of our rights for a very long time.”

Moniruddin, 55, also a resident of Dasiar Chhara, is opting for Bangladesh as well. He too is hopeful about the future.

“I do not want to leave my homeland. I know we will get power connections and roads soon.”

Glad that this absurdity has finally been resolved.

 

[jaunty]

Idiotic gloating. Let us know if people from the Bangladeshi exclaves (Indian enclaves) choose Bangladeshi citizenship over Indian.

A tight bitchslap on the Bangladeshi OP......

Land exchange deal: Will you go to Bangladesh? Not many Yes in enclaves | The Indian Express

On paper, India will transfer 111 enclaves to Bangladesh, while Bangladesh will transfer 51 enclaves to India. But on the ground, not a single enclave dweller on the Indian side has expressed willingness to go to Bangladesh so far.
The joint enumeration process began on July 6, and field officials have completed 80 per cent of the survey in some places. With the deadline for exchange of enclaves drawing near (July 31), the survey has to be completed by July 16.
Cooch Behar District Magistrate P Ulaganathan said 75 teams, comprising two members each — one Indian and one Bangladeshi — have been assigned the responsibility of the field survey. “Of the 75 teams, 25 are working in the Bangladeshi enclaves which will come to India while 50 are working in the Indian enclaves which will go to Bangladesh. There is one supervisor for every five teams,” he said.

“Nobody is willing to go to Bangladesh so far,” said Uttam Sarkar, a land record department official and one of the supervisors.
“We are in the process of compiling the data at the moment. It will be possible to give the exact number of people who will migrate only after July 16,” maintained Ulaganathan.
On the findings from across the border, officials said about 100 families have expressed willingness to come to India so far.
Field officials are organising camps in the enclaves where the residents are asked to register themselves.

“We are asking them basic questions like their names, age, parents’ names, current citizenship and the citizenship they wish to acquire with effect from August 1, 2015,” said Deepak Basak, one of the officials at Poaturkuthi enclave — the largest enclave here with 483 families.
The 11th column of the prescribed form has provision for a photograph of those who want to go to Bangladesh. But there have been no takers yet.
The survey teams are also visiting the houses of the elderly or physically challenged, who are unable to walk to the camps. “It is not a clerical exercise like scrutinising a voters’ list. It has become a very emotional process and we have to be compassionate with them,” said an official.
There is visible enthusiasm among the enclave residents. Afan Ullah Mia, a resident, said it would be an end to a “life of lies”. “We got our four sons and daughter married on the basis of false information that we are Indians. Even their engagements had to be done at an acquaintance’s place so that nobody knew the truth,” he said. “My eldest son’s father-in-law has never come to our house because we live in an enclave,” he added.
Sarifa Banu, his daughter-in-law, said she was a resident of Nandina village of Cooch Behar district. “I had studied till Class XII and had my voters’ card, Aadhar card and OBC certificate. It took some time me to realise that I was married into a family where nobody even had a ration card,” she said.
Md Akkel Ali Mia, a resident of Karala, recalled how he was once put behind bars for venturing out of the enclave without an identity card. “I used to hardly leave this place. One day, I went to a nearby village to attend a wedding ceremony. A BSF official asked me for proof of identity. When I could not produce any document, I was jailed for six months. I was later deported to Bangladesh,” he said.
Meanwhile, an area of about 1.5 acres has been earmarked in Dinhata village for those who will make the move to India. “Since it will take time to construct so many houses, they will be accommodated in a defunct cold storage and a state-owned godown here,” said a senior official.
“A meeting will be held on July 23, when the next course of action will be decided,” said Ulaganathan, adding that the process of issuing voters’ cards and Aadhar cards would after August 1.

Trying to make it look simplistic.
1) People do not want to leave the area they live in, unless threat.
2) They lived surrounded by BD, so that is their culture.
3) Uncertainty when you move.

Most people will choose like that, whats big deal.
