I just can't understand. How can one be so stupid? For Murshidabad, India surrendered Khulna. Siliguri Corridor became leaner. Chittagong Hill Tracts were written off. Are we really saying India didn't have a visibility for all this or are we saying people had zero clue?
And Nehru didn't invade Noakhali and cut off Chittagong as a response to 1947 Pakistani Invasion of Kashmir. Seriously? Its a different thing that Sneha Kumar Chakma has already given him ideas and he was horrified at that.
In fact, even in 1951, Tripura asked why exactly isn't India bothered about Chakla Roshnabad. And anyone with commonsense would have pounced upon Noahkhali. Just look at the same map in blue without Sylhet, Tripura, Noahkhali and Chittagong. Sylhet was also actually borderline.
A better map. And the mordern borders on the west. Why exactly was that Southern part of Jalpaiguri given to Pakistan - any idea? And East would have looked like this, minus CHT. With some effort, Pakistan would have lost Tripura, Noahkhali and Chittagong as I noted.
Oh... forgot to tell. Another bright idea of our leaders. North East is landlocked. Any guesses how far is sea from Tripura? 35 km. And by the way, Feni River flows from Tripura into the sea. We never demanded access.
And how India lost Sylhet. One more. There are parts of Sylhet which are de jure India's but under Bangladeshi control.
