Description
English: Double barbed fence installed by the Indian authorities around the French settlements of Pondicherry and Karikal in March 1953, officially to counter smuggling into India but also to exert pressure on France to speed up the transfer of sovereignty over her Indian possessions (French India) to India. On 1 November 1954 France transfers to India de facto control of its possessions. De jure transfer will occur in 1956.
