Hi,

Although you will probably know it, an interesting site is:

http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/india/india-political-map.htm

which has LOTS of maps about India (even down to city level).

Interesting for our subject is the Union Territory Pondicherry, for
example.

see:
http://www.mapsofindia.com/maps/pondicherry/pondichery.html

Small bits strewn all over southern India. It' almost hard to say,
which one is the main territory here and which are the exclaves. I'd
say that the part where the capital is in is the main territory,
though it's not much bigger than other parts of Pondicherry.

Greetings,
Anton Z
