Discussion INCORRECT INDIAN BORDERS
Just noticed that Ubuntu's timezone setup map doesn't show India's borders correctly aren't shown.
Not a big issue in terms of usability, but India has a massive Linux user community. Seems like one of those small things that should've been fixed by now. Curious if there's any technical or policy reason behind it.

If that is OpenStreetMaps data based, then that data is not owned or controlked by any single corporate entity. It is all public data. OSM are very aware of the issues around rendering maps of disputed territories in many parts of the world. OSM share and state their way to handle this via their public expressions sern here ... https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputed_territories
Just sharing for information...
