First time I got an accurate map of India was when I stepped out of it. Whole of Kashmir is shown as Indian territory in all books and newspapers, even the area that is under administration of China and Pakistan. It was quite something. Other aspects opened up too, but the map thing was quite outrageous example. With international media availability, graphics have become better now thankfully.
- pmikesell 7y agoCan you explain this a little bit? Isn't there a big issue right now between India and Kasmir? You're saying it's actually under the administration of China? I'm sorry if this sounds naive - I guess I have no idea what's going on in the world.

- cthalupa 7y agoIndian maps show them as having control of all of Kashmir. In reality, control of Kashmir is split between India, Pakistan, and China.
- selimthegrim 7y agoHaha did they put Karakoram highway on Indian map too?
- chupasaurus 7y agoIndia doesn't recognize any other countries' control over lands in Kashmir region.

- vinni2 7y agoSame here after seeing whole of Kashmir as part of India in all the maps for my entire, I couldn’t understand and felt even angry that the west and other countries don’t recognize this. I now understand how it spurs nationalism and cause misunderstandings.
