Diego garcia is a military base of the Unites States, situated in the Indian Ocean. Its presence has been disputed over and over again in the Indian parliament,. My question is, how many of you have heard its name even???

Of the 15 or so little Overseas Territories still clinging for dear life to the UK, BIOT should be the largest at around quarter of a million people - but the population was exported wholesale to Mauritius and other places; I suppose they got in the way. There was a court case in London which I think gave them the right of return, but not sure if any have gone yet.

As far as i know, they cannot return, as the place is still a US Naval base and they have some bombers there. Guess the real folks of the place were real unlucky. I read somewhere that even the cemeteries located in the place were dug up and relocated to some other Island.
