Why is the map of India always appears truncated in all of Wikipedia pages, when there is no official annexing of Indian territories in Kashmir, by Pakistan and China nor its confirmation from Indian govt ? With Pakistan and China just claiming the territory, why the world map shows it as annexed by them, separating from India ? TravelLover05 (talk) 15:05, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The map at India shows Kashmir in light green, meaning "claimed but not controlled". It's not truncated, it's differently included. Card Zero (talk) 17:17, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- If the rulers of Pakistan and China claim territory as part of Pakistan and China, annexing (some of) that territory would seem redundant or worse, a statement that the territory was not previously theirs. —Tamfang (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
