<div id="ygrps-yiv-758752462">great to hear from you lucas this great news<br/>
however long in coming<br/>
<br/>
positively fantastic development<br/>
<br/>
those are remote & sparse areas that could well have<br/>
remained practically undisturbed & essentially<br/>
forgotten these 44 years<br/>
<br/>
at the same time<br/>
both nehru & jigme dorji wangchuk are certainly long<br/>
departed<br/>
so<br/>
more or less as they predicted<br/>
any formerly discontiguous parts that bhutan may have<br/>
had do at least appear to have been occupied by china<br/>
over their dead bodies<br/>
<br/>
& of course we at least have been completely unaware<br/>
of any such probabilities til now<br/>
simply because all the public border announcements <br/>
including the most recent one posted here yesterday <br/>
havent mentioned them<br/>
& on the contrary just imply or actually refer to the<br/>
single continuous btcn boundary line presently in<br/>
progress<br/>
<br/>
so i would guess<br/>
de facto<br/>
which is what really counts anyway<br/>
these claves are very probably dead too<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& yet <br/>
& yet<br/>
they could also just be lost islands of shangri la<br/>
ahaha<br/>
what fun<br/>
<br/>
thank you very much indeed<br/>
<br/>
a hi priority research area to be sure<br/>

&gt; <br/>
&gt; Though I didn&#39;t post for a long time, I noticed<br/>
&gt; something strange in <br/>
&gt; an old article. &quot;Keesing&#39;s World Events&quot; reports the<br/>
&gt; following:<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; &quot;August 1961 - INDIA - SIKKIM - BHUTAN <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Maharaja of Bhutan&#39;s Visit to Delhi. <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; [...] <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Mr. Nehru reaffirmed his previous assurances that<br/>
&gt; any aggression <br/>
&gt; against Bhutan would be regarded as aggression<br/>
&gt; against India. [About <br/>
&gt; 300 square miles of northern and north-eastern<br/>
&gt; Bhutan, including <br/>
&gt; some enclaves surrounded by Tibetan territory, are<br/>
&gt; shown on Chinese <br/>
&gt; maps as Chinese territory, although the Chinese<br/>
&gt; Government has made <br/>
&gt; no attempt to occupy them.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; [...]<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; Describing China&#39;s claims to Bhutanese territory as<br/>
&gt; &quot;a mistake which <br/>
&gt; I hope they will correct,&quot; he [The Maharajah of<br/>
&gt; Bhutan] said that <br/>
&gt; China would be allowed to occupy any part of Bhutan<br/>
&gt; &quot;only over our <br/>
&gt; dead bodies.&quot;  &quot;<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; How would you comment? Do these enclaves still<br/>
&gt; exist? Any infos <br/>
&gt; would be appreciated. Sadly, I cannot offer links,<br/>
&gt; since this is a <br/>
&gt; subscription service.<br/>
