Correction Required in India Map Representation in Power BI

[NITINRATHOD]

I am writing to bring to your attention an issue with the representation of India's map in Power BI. The current depiction does not accurately include Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and the Chushul region of Ladakh as part of India, which is incorrect and does not align with India's official territorial boundaries.

It is crucial that such representations adhere to the officially recognized map of India to maintain accuracy, compliance, and sensitivity to geopolitical considerations. I kindly request you to take immediate corrective action to ensure that the map correctly reflects India's full territorial integrity.

I'm assuming you are using one of the Microsoft built map visuals (uses Azure Maps or Bing Maps). These maps change based on where the network request came from to align with the view of the country region of where the request came from. When it comes to the disputed boarders in the region you mentioned there are several views the map could show. When the request originates in one of these regions it will show solid boarders that include the recognized borders of that region. If the request originates in one of the other regions that dispute the border, they will appear solid but positioned based on the view of that region. When the map is viewed from outside these regions the borders are based on the view of the UN, and if they are considered disputed, they are generally rendered as dashed lines. So, in the case of India, if you want to see the disputed borders positioned based on the view of India, your network requests must originate from India. Which means that you most likely need to be in India physically or have a VPN setup that flows through India. This is the standard for how Bing and Azure Maps have worked globally for many decades (both inside and outside of Power BI). There are other maps visuals available in Power BI that are made by third party companies and may use other map platforms. Those maps may handle disputed borders and localization differently.
