distortion of the Indian map by the BBC

distortion of the Indian map by the BBC

on 21st July,2020 as I was scrolling through a BBC atricle on the floods in Kaziranga National Park in Assam, I happened to notice the Indian Map provided in the article. One quick glance made it clear that something was wrong, upon looking at it closely I could see that Entire Kashmir was removed from our MAP.

This was shocking and for a moment I couldnt  believe it but then reality dawned. One of the world's largest media houses, the British Broadcasting Channel has intentionally misrepresented our country's map, according to them INDIA's northern boundry lies at Punjab and no part of Kashmir is Indian. It is an attack not only on India's 'territorial sovereignty' but also on all the Kashmiris who proudly call themselves Indian and serve in the armed forces to fight the terrorists who create havoc in their beautiful state. This is not a small, mundane issue, because it attacks the very status of Kashmir. If un-opposed, then this move is only the begininng; next what they will show, Arunachal Pradesh is part of China?

No proud, stable, sovereign country in the world will ever tolerate this vicious attack on their borders. This is not a small matter which is  inconsequential but something against which we have to raise our voices before its too late. So   SIGN this petition which demands The BBC to immediately return to the old status-quo of showing  the whole of Kashmir as an disputed area but with Indian-adminstered Kashmir to still firmly be as an inseperable part of India.
