In fact, the map that has been provided (OSM) is very different https://openstreetmap.in/#4/25.32/77.17 and accurate than the one rendered by Wikimedia, it is an act of intentional vandalism, then. If Wikimedia use what OSM provide then please restore it to that version instead of creating a new coined version.
Jim, the main OpenStreetMap map - https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=4/25.24/77.17 shows a different border than the one you linked to. I understand it is a touchy subject (similar to Crimea and several other disputed territories). Unfortunately WMF is not currently investing into maps in any significant fashion, and moreover, a developer (@Pnorman) was hired to work on better display of the disputed territories, and after over a year of work, after it essentially being 90% complete, WMF decided to stop the project without any explanation to the community.
