The first three are exclaves within a foreign country whereas the last three are within the same country.
Regions totally enclosed by other states/countries etc. The first 3 are countries instead of states/territories etc. & that's what sets them apart.
All disputed territories.
Rahul and Nikhil, you got the first part correct. This is a list of territories, some part of which lie entirely within another territory. In other words, there are exclaves of the territory listed on the left that are enclaved within the territory listed on the right.
While your answer to the second part is technically correct, it is a weak answer. The first three cases (the only cases at this time in the world) are in fact second (or higher) order exclaves. The territory (the one listed on the right) within which the left territory in enclaved in, is itself an exclave of the latter territory enclaved in the former. Thus, we have, for example, the territory of Madha which is completely surrounded by UAE and is cut off from the rest of Oman. Nahwa, in turn, is entirely contained within Madha.
