Bangladesh and India have signed a historic agreement to simplify their border by exchanging more than 150 enclaves of land.
Thousands of Bangladeshis inhabit more than 50 enclaves in India
while Indians live in around 100 areas within Bangladesh.

The enclaves along the 4,000km border are a legacy of colonial times
- the British departed India before the border was properly demarcated -
and have been a contentious issue between the two nations for decades.
