Google Analytics believes Kashmir not part of India?

April 22, 2011 Leave a comment

I was looking at Google analytics of my site and to my surprise, Google is not including Jammu and kashmir as part of India. It shows it as hatched portion while rest of India is in orange. Am I missing sth here or Google knows which others do not!

I am not sure from where Google has collected this information, but as a company which believes in “authoritative content” should have looked into maps released by Indian Govt. (or maybe it was tough for ppl in Google to Google and find it out????? ) and used them. Also they should have atleast tracked “Google News” where every alternate day Indian Govt. re-iterates that Kashmir is part of India!. Nevertheless, for reference of Google team, I have Googled one such map here – http://gisserver.nic.in/atlas/

The analytics map is pasted below. I would request all readers to circulate this to as many ppl as possible to make sure this changes and Google explains why they have done this.
