Google Manipulates International Borders

Google is GOD in the online space and the products it offers are accepted blindly and considered unblemished. Well, I am about to shatter your unshakable faith. We all know Google has localisation for various regions but... but will it show 2+2 as four in India, 2+2 as 3.5 to 4.5 in US and 2+2 as 5 in China. The fact is it does... Don't trust me... See it for your self.

Google manipulates the international boundaries of countries to suit the local people of that particular region. After the Chinese demands for Arun achal Pradesh, Google now has started FOOLING Indians as well! Google shows different maps for US & Global citizens, Indians and Chinese.

In the Indian Version, it shows Arunachal Pradesh as Integral Part of India. This is how we have been seeing India since we started working with maps in school.

In the Chinese Version, Arunachal Pradesh is not even part of India but it shows it as an INTEGRAL PART of CHINA ! Also a part of Jammu and Kashmir is shown to be belonging to CHINA.
