Indian Map on CNN

Did anyone notice the truncated Indian Map being showed on CNN News channel? I cringe every time the Indian map is shown on the TV especially by the CNN. The Indian Map as shown by CNN does not include Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and parts of Punjab & Haryana.
Not only does the CNN show the truncated map of India, the way they show the map of that region, it seems like J&K is part of Pakistan. Is CNN promoting Pakistani agenda?

Why is the Government Of India and its representatives in US silent on this issue? Is there any strategic reason or they are unwittingly showing their effeteness? I wonder what would China do, if Tibet was shown as a separate territory?

If I were the PM, I would fire the entire embassy/consulate staff in USA for ignoring this matter unless I was naive enough to believe they do not watch CNN. I wonder, what kind of work our embassy / consulate staff in foreign countries do besides living lavishly at Indian tax payers expense in phoren land.

11/26 - Mumbai

Few foreign (pakistan) trained nutcases (terrorists) land on India's western coast, kill few hundred innocent civilians, Mame few hundred more and take over few soft targets with less effort than it takes to go to a mall around festive season to buy some items. Our ruling part points finger at Pakistan and the opposition parties point finger at ruling party as the tragedy in Mumbai enters 3rd day with the international community watching every bit of ridiculously inept handling of the crises by our government and security agencies.

Is it just me or our government has really let us down again? I wonder. From the initial investigations into this tragedy it is clear that the criminals are from pakistan and are highly trained. Seeing this tragedy unfold on TV, it seemed as if the terrorists were combat trained
and the precision with which they executed this operation suggests in addition to regular training they were specifically trained for this operation.

I strongly think these nuts were trained by the ISI. Given all the previous instances of ISI sponsored terror activities in India, as claimed previously by government of India, what is stoping the Indian government from demanding the international community to declare ISI and pakistani defence establishment as "Terror Organizations" and also quit funding pakistan untill it disbands all of its terror infrastructure and turns all its terrorists, including "dawood ibrahim", to India?

Sometimes, I wonder if the Government of India has in it to stand up to the international commnity and assert itself?
