Google needs a bold and aggressive reaction from Bharat

By Dipin Damodharan

How an IT company, based in United States, shown Arunachal Pradesh, a democratically elected government in India, as a disputed part in their map. When we open the Google maps’ China edition (http://ditu.google.com), a net surfer can get the information that Arunachal Pradesh is an undisputed part of China. Similarly when we open the Google India on http://maps.google.co.in , we can find Arunachal as a part of India. But the double standard of Google appear when one opens the map on the international edition http://maps.google.com , here Arunachal Pradesh is shown as a disputed territory. Google has a considerable business in India; the Indian government should take the issue in a serious manner. Google have to accept the reality that there is no confusion over the territory of Arunachal. Actually the soft stand taken by the Indian Government on the Indo-China border issue paved the way for Google to act like this.
