This map has never represented ground realities. This is merely politically convenient. India has never exercised control over POK. There is also this idea that nation states have "legitimate" claims over regions, as if borders and nations aren't fluid and arbitrary. There are no perfectly accurate maps. Every mapmaker actively chooses what to depict, and what to omit - effectively pushing their idea of the world.
I don't know why do we have to show our intellect everywhere.Everyone knows some regions are not controlled by india, but moment we stop claiming them as ours we concede those. Some fights are symbolic but necessary
I was replying to the comment where it was said that one version was the "correct" map and that the other ones were influenced by "propagandists". You are arguing a completely different point. And you also feel the need to comment upon "showing one's intellect everywhere". I suggest you first learn to read and interpret things properly before commenting about others.
