- JoeAltmaier 17y agoIt's disputed territory; but it's not Google's dispute.
- chaosprophet 17y agoYeah, which means Google cannot really take a stand on it, so it's choosing to appease all parties involved. I'd say as of now they are doing the right thing. DISCLAIMER: I'm Indian and I believe Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India.
- aik 17y ago"DISCLAIMER: I'm Indian and I believe Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India." Would you mind explaining what brought you to that conclusion?
- chaosprophet 17y agoThe fact that I was raised believing Arunachal Pradesh to be an integral part of India, and also that the people of Arunachal Pradesh want to be part of India (atleast that's what they say when interviewed by news channels). Also Arunachal Pradesh has a state government which is under the central government of India (where elections were conducted recently). Also, I don't think this is fit for discussion on HN.
- credo 17y ago>>It's disputed territory; but it's not Google's dispute. reply No, Google is taking sides when it redraws the current political and administrative borders and draws a China map that includes Arunachal Pradesh. China also disputes the whole country of Taiwan and says that Taiwan belongs to China. Does Google show its Chinese a users a map of China that includes Taiwan ?
