I think that such a measure would only complicate matters, and would present the wrong information to the Indian user.<div><br clear="all">Swaroop G Rao<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
A simpler technical solution will be to show the map that is correct<br>
in the India context for all the IP addresses originating from India<br>
and for all other IPs, the current one ( I think that is the one<br>
recognised by UN)<br>
<br>
This should give a right solution to all the users.<br>
Additionally, on all the pages where India map is presented, entries<br>
for both the maps should be given mentioning the context and the<br>
disputes.<br>
