Wrongful depiction of Indian map by Google Map





from India you can see a correct map

Below look at Indian border, its a map chinese can see.



Google's multi-map policy:
Reports say Google has fixed Indian boundaries in its maps. But has it really? If you log on from China, Arunachal Pradesh is shown as Chinese territory.

------------------------- EARLIER Google had same problem
NEW DELHI: The search engine Google has amended its maps to show the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir as part of India.

The correction came in response to the notice issued by minister of state for communications and IT Sachin Pilot to Google Inc for showing Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as part of the neighbouring country.

After Pilot noticed the lapse, the ministry wrote to the website that maps available through www.google.com/insights showed certain parts of J&K as part of a different country. The notice said that wrongful depiction of Indian map could attract action under Sections 69A and 79 of the IT Act.

Sources said the website had corrected the maps in its memory though a few pages would take some time to upload.

It sets right what is a sensitive issue in the country. The showing of PoK as part of Pakistan had attracted strong comments from various sections.

INDIA'S Government urged internet giant Google to correct its depiction of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
Google Insights for Search, which provides a visual representation of search volume patterns across specific regions, showed the disputed region as Pakistan, The Times of India reported.
Kashmir, that shares borders with India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and China, is a disputed territory among the three countries. Pakistan controls the northwest portion, India controls the central and southern portion and Ladakh, and China controls the northeastern portion.
"Any wrongful depiction of Indian map and its boundaries is liable for action under the India Information Technology Act. Google has been asked to immediately correct this inaccuracy," Minister of state for telecom and IT Sachin Pilot told the media outlet.
