Me too. I suspect it is a poor quality sketch map, as I have a copy of the original document in my files, and it was refenced in my thesis:
***
Govt of India, 1992, "Tin bigha- A Proper Perspective", 10pp + 6pp annexures, New Delhi?. Annexure 1 is a map of Dahagam-Angarpota, with an inset of Tin Bigha itself. This would seem to be the original map used by many other subsequently, for a lack of other sources. In particular, Roy Pradhan, 1995 [ie his booklet "Rule of Jungle"] and several newspaper articles. Only Dahagram-Angarpota enclave is shown, non of the others in the area.
***
So if you obtained Roy Pradhan's book, you have the map.

Quick plug: only one copy of my book left: Aust $90+post($30 to US/Europe)

That Indian High Commission site is quite impressive. Fast, useful, friendly. A pity the Tin Bigha map And the search function don't work.
They issue over 300,000 visas to Bangladeshis each year. That's over 1000 per Day. Which sounds a lot, until you consider that there are 120 million Bangladeshis. So that's about one per 400 people in the country.
What proportion of Brits visit France, or of Americans visit Canada each year?
630,000 Australians visit NZ annually, that's 1in 30, and that requires a 3+hour flight.
200,000 Britons visit NZ, that's one in 300, and involves a 24hr flight.
