RE: showed the disputed Jammu-Kashmir region as not being in India
Actually, I've seen similar things on many "PC" maps, which were intended to appease Pakistani and Chinese sensibilities. Both Pakistan and the PRC want to promote the idea that Kashmir is *wholly* not part of India. Hmmm ... I wonder if the person who embedded that map was the PRC national on an H1B, or maybe even one in the PRC at MS's Red Chinese development center?
Americans are woefully ignorant of geography since the subject was subsumed into the gooey mess of social studies.
That said, the TV networks have gone back and forth on their depiction of Kashmir on their maps.
Now they do show the Paki part, the Indian part, and the part that Pakistan gave to China.
IMO, it should be shown as part of India - after all, Pakis attacked India in Kashmir in 1948 - the terms of accession were clear to all before Partition and it's typical islami BS that they changed their minds after agreeing to the terms.
