Description
Describe the bug
Preface:
While this map could certainly be considered an artistic or abstract representation, it is important to note that when it depicts real-world geographies., especially politically sensitive regions., I believe some care must still be taken to align with legal standards and national sensitivities.
Summary:
The map of India shown on the Ethereum 10 Years Anniversary page (https://ethereum.org/en/10years/) appears to be missing constitutionally mandated Indian territories such as Jammu & Kashmir (including PoK and Ladakh), and island territories like Andaman & Nicobar or Lakshadweep.
Concern:
As per Indian law, maps of India must represent the full territorial claims of the country. Displaying incomplete or altered borders may lead to legal concerns or public backlash.
Suggestion:
Please update the map to include all Indian territories as per official Survey of India standards. This ensures legal compliance and avoids misrepresentation.
Optional Reference:
You may consult Survey of India for legally correct mapping standards.
To reproduce
- Go to '(https://ethereum.org/en/10years/)'
- Scroll down to 'Rotating Globe'
- Look at 'India' Map
Expected behavior
The map representation of any country, must be complete and legally accurate in accordance with national standards.
Suggested Map (Kindly Check with SME / Respective Authority )
Screenshots
This map seems incorrect, I took this screenshot from countries.json raw
Artistic Map as appeared/appearing now on page, seems slightly distorted or inaccurate
Additional context
Incorrect maps, especially those omitting regions, can violate national laws and trigger public or legal concerns. While artistic representations are appreciated, they should not unintentionally misrepresent national borders. Aligning with Survey of India standards ensures both legal compliance and cultural sensitivity.
