Rs.100-crore fine proposed for wrong India map

[JANASENA]

This map downloaded from the Survey of India website shows the Official Boundary of India.

This measure has been envisaged against the backdrop of instances where certain social networking sites showed J&K and Arunachal Pradesh as part of Pakistan and China respectively.

The NDA government has proposed a law where wrong depiction of the map of India could land the violators in jail with a maximum term of seven years and fine up to Rs. 100 crore.

This measure has been envisaged by the government against the backdrop of instances where certain social networking sites showed Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as part of Pakistan and China respectively.

Recently, Twitter had shown the geographical location of Kashmir in China and Jammu in Pakistan triggering protests from the Indian government after which it was corrected.

According to the draft ‘The Geospatial Information Regulation Bill 2016,’ it will be mandatory to take permission from a government authority before acquiring, disseminating, publishing or distributing any geospatial information of India.

The draft Bill will ensure that online platforms like Google will have to apply for a licence to run Google Maps or Google Earth in India.

“No person shall depict, disseminate, publish or distribute any wrong or false topographic information of India including international boundaries through internet platforms or online services or in any electronic or physical form.

“Whoever acquired any geospatial information of India in contravention of the law shall be punished with a fine ranging from Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 100 crore and/or imprisonment for a period up to seven years,” according to the draft Bill.

but to expect Google to be partial towards India is foolish..when the border is at dispute, company like google tend to be neutral to both countries.

If China backs off on its claim and still google shows it as disputed, then India has every right to go after google..until then i see no point
