In the eastern part of Pakistan, which became Bangladesh in 1971, Radcliffe’s frontier created two sets of anomalies. In some cases, one country refused to relinquish territory to the other, resulting in so-called “adverse possessions”; in others, Radcliffe left small areas of one country completely surrounded by the other’s territory.
1971年，巴基斯坦东部独立为孟加拉国。拉德克利夫的边界制造了两大反常现象。一是一方拒绝向另一方拱手让出领土，导致所谓的“非法占有”；二是拉德克利夫留下了许多小领地，这些领地属于某一方，但完全被另一方的领土所包围。
