Google shows a distorted map of India a day after Twitter did the same: Details

Op India  

A day after social media behemoth Twitter showed Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh as separate countries, search engine giant Google showed a distorted map of India, depicting Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and Aksai Chin as separate entities and not a part of the Indian Union. Twitter shows Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh as separate country Earlier yesterday, social media platform Twitter, which is already in a tense battle with the central government, drew the ire of Indians after it depicted Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh as separate territories, detached from India. The map that appeared on the ‘Tweep Life’ section showed Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh contiguous with India but not a part of the country. Shortly after courting the controversy and suffering backlash from its users, Twitter made the amends and dropped the incorrect map showing Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh outside India.
