1:25min for India

To go from central India to NE India, the width of the most narrow part is only 17 miles long!

Seems like a logistic nightmare for India, thats why its important to maintain good ties with Bangladesh.

2:30min for Pakistan, seems like the Wakhan border was made due to Russia and British issues.
 
Here is another small panhandle between Pakistan and Afghanistan. zoom sequence below

I find this so fascinating

There are also small land pockets that belong to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan but are with-in Krygyzstan. Tajikistan itself has a weird border on its North West

Green Arrow is Tajikistan territory and the orange arrows are Uzbekistan territory

This is the Pakistan India border at Sir Creek, like seriously it looks like just a scribble. There is no sense to this demarcation. Thats why there is an ongoing dispute between Pakistan and India on the demarcation. But anyone looking at this pic can tell that this can easily be resolved.

My suggestion of demarcation to resolve this dispute. One less thing to fight about and no country losses or gains land as these are just mangroves

These enclaves between India and Bangladesh - where one country's territory is inside another country have all been resolved by the Indo Bangla Land Boundary Agreement

The prime ministers of India and Bangladesh signed the Land Boundary Agreement in 1974 to exchange enclaves and simplify their international border. A revised version of the agreement was adopted by the two countries on 7 May 2015, when the Parliament of India passed the 100th Amendment to the Indian Constitution.[4][5] Under this agreement, which was ratified on 6 June 2015, India received 51 Bangladeshi enclaves (covering 7,110 acres (2,880 ha)) in the Indian mainland, while Bangladesh received 111 Indian enclaves (covering 17,160 acres (6,940 ha)) in the Bangladeshi mainland.[6] The counter-enclaves, together with Dahagram-Angarpota, will not be exchanged when the Indira-Mujib agreement of 1974 is finally implemented.[2] The enclave residents are to be allowed to either reside at their present location or move to the country of their choice.[7] The physical exchange of enclaves will be implemented in phases between 31 July 2015 and 30 June 2016.[8] The enclaves stand exchanged on the midnight of 31 July 2015 and the transfer of enclave residents was completed on 30 November 2015.[9] After the Land Boundary Agreement, India lost around 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) to Bangladesh.[10][11]

The problem is that these water channels are continuously shifting every monsoon season. So your simple straight line border solution will not work

Those land pockets are called exclaves and enclaves.

i didn't know that but that is a good conclusion

The problem is that these water channels are continuously shifting every monsoon season. So your simple straight line border solution will not work

But simple straight line is still more manageable, don't you think
 
i don't see why our nations can't be idealistic. if India and Bangaldesh can fix their borders than so can we
Come to think of this. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh owe their current borders to India. It is just that Bangladesh is happy and Pakistan is angry because of this.

You cant compare the Indo-Bangla relations with Indo-Pak
