LONDON: A map of India on the website of the World Health Organization, depicting the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh in a totally different colour, has evoked angry reactions from the Indian diaspora in Britain. WHO, however, held that it follows UN guidelines and practice regarding maps.
The map is on WHO’s Covid-19 situation dashboard that shows the latest pandemic numbers by country. Whilst the rest of India is coloured navy blue, J&K and Ladakh have been marked in grey as if they a separate country. The disputed border area of Aksai Chin is demarcated with grey with blue stripes, the same shade as that of China.
