I post these maps not because of how the countries look geographically but because of the information the maps provide.

But I know that the Kashmir conflict is a sensitive issue and since this is a Pakistani forum, from now on I will not post any maps that depict Kashmir as anything other than disputed territory.

The map of China is also inaccurate. It shows Aksai Chin swallowed up in India.
