Indo Bangladesh: Persona Non Grata[edit]
Persona Non-Grata is about the plight of the people living in Indo Bangladesh enclaves or 'chitmahals' as they are called locally. These small islands of other country's territory created lot of misery for the people living there. They were barred from moving out, getting education, jobs and even health benefits. The issue was later addressed when India and Bangladesh signed an agreement abolishing the enclaves but the misery of the people has not gone. [2]
