<div id="ygrps-yiv-1641816095">a fine mess  peter<br/>
& a nice map of it<br/>
<br/>
under the general category of background info<br/>
i have come to the conclusion that in reality no one is to blame for this<br/>
  nor for anything<br/>
<br/>
& there is no blame  nor guilt  nor shame  etc  objectively speaking<br/>
because nothing is truly anyones fault<br/>
<br/>
& there is no fault because there really is no lack of anything<br/>
but only an absolute abundance of everything<br/>
& a prevailing goodness & wellness from which the very act of blaming<br/>
disconnects oneself<br/>
<br/>
i realize this is not really your point or question<br/>
but to imagine or impute wrongness victimhood nightmares problems etc<br/>
is a commonly shared cop out into the prevailing illusion<br/>
& a most tangible product of the invisibly fearful & guarded & vulnerable<br/>
mode of thinking that is behind all our laws & boundaries<br/>
& that keeps people generally stuck where they are<br/>
<br/>
to believe in the reality of all this mess is in fact disempowering of self<br/>
  yet  even  still  not  blameworthy<br/>
    but just something to skip over<br/>
since ones thought is what creates ones reality<br/>
<br/>
silly but sincere<br/>

&gt;India is not known for its simple boundary solutions, but the<br/>
&gt;boundaries of Pondicherry are a bit of a mess, acc. to<br/>

&gt;question: are the French to blame for this? In that case, India<br/>
&gt;inherited a nice administrative nightmare. Why didn&#39;t India do<br/>
&gt;anything about it? It is not an international boundary anymore (as is<br/>
&gt;the problem with the Indian/Bengal enclaves).<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;And where did Chandernagore go? I remember there was a French<br/>
&gt;settlement of that name near Calcutta. Did it become Indian before<br/>
&gt;the other pieces did? It is not part of Pondicherry.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;Any other background information on union terr./state boundaries in<br/>
&gt;India is welcome, too!<br/>
