Microsoft showing Jammu and Kashmir as Disputed to its users in America and
Europe.
-----------------------
Microsoft MapPoint 2002, software providing geographic information, shows whole
state of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) as 'DISPUTED' state of India. This software is
extensively being used in America & Europe, and users of this software view
Kashmir as a 'Disputed territory' and not an Integral part of India. This is
exactly in line with Pakistan's international propaganda.
India has always objected to the use of word 'Disputed' to Kashmir. Even the
United Nations does not make a mistake of using the word "DISPUTED" in J&K map.
J&K is an integral part of India by the 'Instrument of Accession of Jammu and
Kashmir State to India' (India's rightful position on Kashmir). In reality
Pakistan was to have vacated J&K under the UN Resolution that it accepted but
did not implement.
Microsoft does not have any right to grant 'Disputed' status to whole state of
J&K. The only disputed territories are 'Pak Occupied Kashmir (POK)' and 'China
Occupied Kashmir (COK)'.
'Cause We Care' (CWC) has initiated a signature campaign to draw Microsoft's
immediate attention to this serious issue and correct this error. We urge the
Indian community all over the world to register their disagreement with this
map, strongly and unequivocally by signing online at CWC's following page and
thus backing India's rightful position on J&K. We request Indians to act before
this becomes official map of J&K !!
