Previous Map Controversies: Conspiracy of foreign news agencies!

CNN's repeated attempts to distort Kashmir boundaries

CNN had presented mischievous Indian map three times till date. They like to tease Indian map and play with it. Each time after a protest they safely take back the map and again present it in wrong sense. This map was published on 19 Feb 2002. It reflects the dream of Pakistan and clarifies that CNN is with them.

FoxNews Withdraws India map without J&K

On January 26, 2001, FoxNews.com displayed India map without Kashmir in one of their news pages. This was an offending effort on India's Republic day to create an impression that India does not include Kashmir. After very strong protest with FoxNews this map was withdrawn without any comments on Feb 1. There was another controversial map, showing whole of Kashmir as disputed territory. This too was withdrawn on the same day.

Microsoft declared Jammu & Kashmir as DISPUTED!

Microsoft MapPoint 2002, software providing geographic and demographic information, shows whole state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) as "DISPUTED" state of India. This is a very serious misrepresentation of J&K territory which is an integral part of India. This is exactly in line with Pakistan's international propaganda. Not only J&K, but "Arunachal Pradesh" is also being shown as Disputed by Microsoft.
