Distortion of Indian map by B&R automation company
Distorted Indian map by B&R Automation Company
The Map of India displayed on the brochure does not show
proper demarcation of Kashmir, but deletion of part of Kashmir. So also the
islands of Andaman and Nicobar are not displayed. This is not in accordance
to the Official Map of India by the Government of India.
HJS has filed complaint with Mumbai Police
Commissioner for action in this regard.

Dear Sir,
thank you for the mail.
We tender our unconditional apologies for the mistake which was absolutely
unintentional. This was due to internationally circulated photo image
& our printer did not notice this.
We are withdrawing & destroying those brochures with immediate effect.
Our MD Mr. P V Sivaram will write separately in this regard.
We are equally proud Indians & hold our head high for
our motherland. We hope you understand us.

Dear Sir,
Subject: Distortion
of Indian map on your brochure.
We came across your brochure
at your stall in ‘Automation 2006 ‘ stall No F-6A, Bombay Exhibition ground,
NSE compound Goregaon (East) between 27th to 30th September. The Map of
India displayed on the brochure does not show proper demarcation of Kashmir,
but deletion of part of Kashmir. So also the islands of Andaman and Nicobar
are also not displayed. This is not in accordance to the Official Map
of India by the Government of India. You have by this act distorted the
Indian map and presented an incorrect map .In the process you have hurt
the National sentiments of India and committed a national offence. As
yours is a multinational company these brochures are distributed internationally
this has also resulted in a wrong representation of the Indian boundaries.
We request you to immediately withdraw these brochures and tender an
apology to all Indians for hurting their National sentiments through this
incorrect display of Indian map.
We look forwards to your prompt reply and response.
With regards
Spokesperson
