Let's Fire Up Those Neurons!

Don't worry.
I prepared a mahal of chits to sneak in during exams to cheat and pass with 100% marks. Though all I need is teen chits

 

Jeez! Entry Fee of $1 and now Neurite card with 80% score on the next puzzle! The next step is to set up a 10 puzzle solving entrance test to quality admission.

Lyraa, you please stay out of any more suggestions.

I did find the correct answer but this was the most intense work out and hence I give myself Grade C. I spent a lot of time on this but learned a lot having traveled to several countries and several cultures. Narrowing it down wasn't easy until the clues started coming.

Small note: Here is pensee thread created primarily to goof up our activities on this thread. Any distraction, banter, or monologue can be shared in pensée thread to keep neurons thread less proliferated for people who are still solving the puzzle and need to trawl for clues in the midst of silly chat-up. Discretion of members to post in which ever thread they are comfortable. Helluva! We've have no moderators for this forum so everyone is spared the rod. There is no strict separation of activities between both these threads but if you feel less to expound but more to entertain the puzzle, please look up the sign-boards.

 

I know I said noon but the rest of the day doesnt look too good..so here goes.
Answer to the puzzle #2892


Dahala Khagrabari -a third order enclave the only one of its kind in the whole world.Indian enclave inside bangladeshi enclave inside indian enclave.
U can read all about it here.
Image #1
Pope addressing Vatican.
Vatican is a classic example of an enclave within the city of Rome. Completely autonomous with pope as its Monarch.
Image #3 I wanted to visually show enclaves as it occurs in nature. A mountain in a lake on a mountain. Ofcourse in this case we are talking about political boundaries.
Image #5 Gibraltor. Yet another example of a first order enclave of UK within spain.
Image#2 Eskimos in an igloo.
Image #4 Waiting...waiting..waiting...
Waiting for eskimo is very well written book which addressed the problems of people living in these enclaves in cooch behar.
Image #6 . The only 3rd order enclave in the entire world.

Now for the rest of the clues ..
I was not sure if Happy Mommy got it when she said issue ..
The next visual clue was border issue.
Enclaves have traditionally been the hardest to manage politically .tons of border issues. Lesotho is yet another enclave in South Africa.
When Lyraa said

I actually thought she solved it. There is actually a radio station called enclave which plays patriotic music. Hence my utube link .
Gauris post has the answer palace of hearts. These enclaves are called Chit Mahals
U can read all about it here..
By that time my neurons were so fried I could not make the connection with all the reverse sleuthing.
I would love to hear from @surekhap @jskls @priyasrini how they arrived at their answers.

 

I almost traveled to all enclaves in the world including the two Spanish cities inside Morocco. I was in and around Gibraltar (as I had seen their airport runway crossing a highway), paid a lot of attention to Vatican without realizing it is quoted only to indicate enclave. I even looked up the two Spanish cities inside Morocco. I was staying for away from India and trying to connect various enclaves to India. Even Gibraltar has a healthy Sindhi population. When Igloo came up, I went to Alaska until Lyraa mentioned 1965 Indo-Pak war. I forgot completely that Bangladesh came into existence only in 1971. I was focusing on the Northwest of India until it occurred to me that Indo-Bangladesh border had so many enclaves until they were officially exchanged recently. Then I was able to connect the book. I was still not able to connect 3.

Frankly, I looked at the Wikipedia page you have posted but failed to see the map on the right side showing third level enclave in the very same page. What a journey!

 

If no one is posting, I've something in mind...

 

Puzzle: Identify the person whose works are represented in the below images
Desc: Each image showcases theme of his work.

E.g, A picture of 4 families trying to set up a marriage does not mean the literal work has "marriage" in a title but the theme of the work is marriage => Vikram Seth's "A Suitable Boy"

There may be few images where the theme is the title of the work but primarily focus on the theme in the pictures.

(From Top to Bottom and Left to Right)

Image#1 : Discrete clue
Image#2 : Discrete clue
Image#3 : Discrete clue
Image#4 & Image#5 : Co-joined clue which means they represent the same thing (one primary , one auxiliary) and not two separate clues.

Level : Super-easy (the clues are direct not at one or two remove)
Requisite knowledge: Everyone knows the answer
How is India related: Well, no one has written so endearing about one's birth place


Ask me if more clues are needed. But I've a feeling that even before I edit typos in this post, someone would have cracked.
