Dear Friends, Recently I have come across two major news organizations using incorrect maps of India. They are BBC and ABC News. They no longer show part of Kashmir as a part of India. Forget about showing it a disputed territorry, they show it as a part of Pakistan now. This is very disturbing, humiliating and outrageous. I urge you to go on this sites and protest against this. I have contacted Indian consulates in the US, External affairs ministry in India and have had very positive and warm response from them so far They need our help and support in fighting this. So please do all you can. You can contact these officials through their emails which are listed on the web page http://www.meadev.gov.in/info/misc/addresseshome.htm I failed to reach ABC News but did lodge a complaint on BBC's feedback form. They had used a map where even the northeast part of India, along with Kashmir, was shown in different colors. So they replied saying that they have taken that map out and put a corrected one. Which still shows the disputed territorry as Pakistan. I have written to them again but no reponse so far. I am attaching the two sites for you reference. Please protest against these organizations, and complain. Please forward this email to as many Indians as you can. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_286000/286413.stm http://abcnews.go.com/reference/countries/IN.html Sorry if this has troubled you in any way. Thank you for your time and support. . Jai Hind. ANIRUDH SETHI BARODA
