chelsea Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 If you open the Google maps' China edition available at [url=http://ditu.google.com]http://ditu.google.com[/url], Arunachal would show itself as an undisputed part of China, the whole of it.[img]http://[url=http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R4.jpg]http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R4.jpg[/url][/img]However, what throws up when one opens Google India on [url=http://maps.google.co.in]http://maps.google.co.in[/url], is politically correct and our fellow citizens from Arunachal Pradesh can, thankfully, still call themselves Indians.[img]http://[url=http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R2.jpg]http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R2.jpg[/url][/img]The fun begins when it comes to opening the map available on the international edition at [url=http://maps.google.com]http://maps.google.com[/url]. Arunachal is shown as a disputed territory.[img]http://[url=http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R3.jpg]http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/randomaccess/resource/R3.jpg[/url][/img] i think we have a right to demand that Google, since it operates from India and has considerable business interests here, make changes and not try to pretend to keep everyone happy when in reality is making a fool of everyone.We should ask the US based company to ensure that Arunachal Pradesh which has a democratically elected government is shown as an undisputed part of India irrespective of where their map is opened. Anything less than that should be unacceptable.
