POK part of Pakistan?

While the threat that Google Earth apparently poses to national security has been grabbing headlines, there’s another potential controversy that’s been overlooked.

If you open the political map of the subcontinent in Google Earth, you’d find that there’s a well-defined boundary between India and Pakistan, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) is on Pakistan’s side. Further, Aksai Chin isn’t a part of either India or China; it is a separate political entity.

There was a similar controversy reagding Taiwan/China. Earlier MS had a similar row in India with win95 product. They had to change their political map after India's protest. We need to make similar protests this time too. Might be, the people of Google India, can take this up with their employer, apart from at a diplomatic level.
