We all signatories wish to bring to your notice a major error in India map in the Microsoft MapPoint 2002 software. The state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) is being shown as 'DISPUTED' state of India (also the Arunachal Pradesh) Read Details. This is a complete misrepresentation of the facts. United Nations and many other international bodies do not term J&K as 'DISPUTED' in their official map.

J&K is an integral part of India by the 'Instrument of Accession of Jammu and Kashmir State to India' (dated 26 October, 1947). The only disputed territories are 'Pak Occupied Kashmir (POK)' and 'China Occupied Kashmir (COK)'.

We strongly object to the word 'Disputed' used for the 'Indian Kashmir' (and Arunachal Pradesh) in Mappoint software. We request you to immediately withdraw this word used for 'Indian Kashmir' OR withdraw this map completely.

We hope our request will be given due respect.

Sincerely, 

The undersigned
