Information - Jammu & Kashmir Map

Which is the True Map of Jammu & Kashmir?

FoxNews Withdraws Wrong Map of India

CNN Withdraws Wrong Map of India

Sabrang withdraws Anti-India Map

Currently there are five major international versions of J&K maps.

1. India's version

2. Pakistan's Pro-terrorism version

3. Anti-India and Pro-Terrorism version by some biased media agencies
4. United Nation

5. Central Intelligence Agency, USA

1. India's map of J&K.

J&K is an integral part of India. This is supported by various documents including "Instrument of Accession". Indian official map clearly identifies "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir" (POK) and "China Occupied Kashmir" (COK) on the map. View this map at Indian Embassy. IndiaCause strongly supports this True and Legal map of J&K.

2. Pakistan's version of J&K map.

Pakistan considers that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory. Therefore they show "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir" (POK) as integral part of Pakistan, "Indian Kashmir" as disputed territory and "China Occupied Kashmir" (COK) as an integral part of China. This is the most distorted version of J&K map. View this map at Pak govt website

Only PAKISTAN and MICROSOFT follow this map. (Sign Petition to Microsoft for Wrong Map of India) NO responsible international agency accepts this version in any way.

3. Anti-India and Pro-Terrorism version by biased media agencies

This map generally shows word 'Disputed' in the Indian part of Kashmir (Microsoft Map). Or India is shown without Jammu and Kashmir (FoxNews, CNN).

4. United Nations map of J&K area.

First of all, to avoid all controversies United Nations does not have maps of India or Pakistan. They have only South Asia and J&K area maps. In J&K map they clearly show line of control and mention a note at the bottom that "the status of J&K is not finalized by both the parties". UN does not use word 'Disputed' anywhere. BBC and New York times and few other responsible agencies use UN version of J&K map in their news. This is the least objectionable international version of J&K area. View UN map (PDF)

5. Most erroneous version of J&K map is by American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

CIA assumes themselves as international cop and have developed their version of world facts. They have a "World Fact Book" providing geographic, demographic and historical data about possibly every country in the world. This fact book is regarded as a 'World Fact Book' by about 90% of the agencies around the world. Most of the world agencies refer to this fact book to publish the information. (for example yahoo takes CIA's map of India on their records)

CIA's version of J&K map clearly shows "China Occupied Kashmir" (COK) with proper mention. With the same logic they should have shown "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir" (POK) and 'Line of Control' with specific mention. But unfortunately they have twisted the facts here. Because of their bias towards their "Friend" they include POK in Pakistan as an integral part of Pakistan. This is Uncle Sam's mischief supporting Pakistani terrorism and misrepresentation of the world facts. View CIA's India map
