BBC removes Kashmir from Indian Map pic.twitter.com/aCRVkstdRn — Rishi Bagree (@rishibagree) January 30, 2023 It was just days before that Anil Antony, son of veteran leader AK Antony apprehended the BBC documentary on PM Modi, much to the chagrin of fellow congress workers. Anil faced a flurry of threats following which he resigned from congress. Albeit resigning, Anil never pulled back any punches and slammed BBC, by sharing on his Twitter page pictures from 2020 showing the news broadcasters' website using an Indian map devoid of Kashmir.

Evidence (2019-08-05): India's BJP-led government is hailing its decision to strip the state of Jammu and Kashmir of autonomy after seven decades, characterising it as the correction of a "historical blunder". The BBC's Geeta Pandey in Delhi explains why this has happened and why it's important. [...] Kashmir is a Himalayan region that both India and Pakistan say is fully theirs. [...] They argued it needed to be scrapped to integrate Kashmir and put it on the same footing as the rest of India. After returning to power with a massive mandate in the April-May general elections, the government lost no time in acting on its pledge.
Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2023-01-31): Amidst the ongoing controversy over BBC’s documentary on Modi, a social media post accompanying a screenshot of a BBC report in which the Indian map is displayed without Kashmir is being shared widely claiming it as a recent report. Through this article, let’s fact-check the veracity of the BBC report shared in the post. [...] In the past, not just once but multiple times, BBC has misrepresented the Indian map. Earlier in 2015, in its report covering Modi’s foreign visits, BBC displayed an incomplete map of India that did not include Jammu & Kashmir. The image shared in the viral post is most likely from this report. Later in 2021, in one of its reports related to US elections, BBC once again displayed a distorted map of India that is without Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir. However, following outrage over the issue, BBC responded with an apology and updated the online broadcast with a map of India reflecting the correct boundaries of Jammu and Kashmir.

Claim: BBC removes Kashmir from the Indian map (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-30)
Evidence (2023-03-24): The erosion of Kashmir’s autonomy paralleled — and perhaps stemmed from — a growing narrative of desire for Kashmir. While Kashmir’s land was long "prize[d]"80 for its fertile soil and strategic geographic location,81 this India-crafted narrative had a more intimate fervor. Kashmir — said the first Prime Minister of India — was a "supremely beautiful woman, whose beauty is almost impersonal and above human desire."82 It is ultimately this desire that has furthered the settler colonial project today. [...] The legal changes that flowed from C.O. 272’s groundwork were swift. On August 5, the upper house of Parliament passed a statutory resolution recommending the President of India proceed with Article 370’s abrogation.124 Later that day, Presidential Order C.O. 273 acted upon the recommendation, causing Article 370 to "cease to be operative" and affixing all provisions of the Indian Constitution upon Kashmir.125 In parallel, the Parliament also passed the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.126 The Act fractured the state into two union territories,127 which would be under the direct control of the central government. One union territory included Jammu and the Kashmir Valley; the other, Ladakh.128 Thus, over a few days, the Government of India not only revoked Kashmir’s special autonomous status but also erased its identity as a state altogether. While screams in opposition rang through the chambers of Parliament,129 the deathly silence in Kashmir was more stifling. The entire map of Kashmir had changed without its people knowing.130

Evidence (2024-10-08): Kashmir, region of the northwestern Indian subcontinent. It is bounded by the Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang to the northeast and the Tibet Autonomous Region to the east (both parts of China), by the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab to the south, by Pakistan to the west, and by Afghanistan to the northwest. The region, with a total area of some 85,800 square miles (222,200 square km), has been the subject of dispute between India and Pakistan since the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. The northern and western portions are administered by Pakistan and comprise three areas: Azad Kashmir, Gilgit, and Baltistan, the last two being part of a single administrative unit called Gilgit-Baltistan (formerly Northern Areas). Administered by India are the southern and southeastern portions, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. The Indian- and Pakistani-administered portions are divided by a "line of control" agreed to in 1972, although neither country recognizes it as an international boundary. In addition, China became active in the eastern area of Kashmir in the 1950s and has controlled the northeastern part of Ladakh (the easternmost portion of the region) since 1962.

The Jewar pile-up was one among many such incidents that took place this morning when the Delhi and neighbouring cities had near zero visibility. In a similar pile-up of six vehicles on Agra-Lucknow expressway, one person was killed and six others were injured.

Read More: Fog Causes 30-Vehicle Pile-Up At Kanota On Jaipur-Agra Highway, 1 Dead "The density of fog is often quite unpredictable. In a dense fog, the driver cannot see beyond his own vehicle’s limits. In such conditions driving can prove to be quite challenging unless proper precautions are taken," Delhi Traffic Police Inspector Manju Singh explains. [...] Keeping a sensible amount of space between you and the vehicle ahead is a very good idea. This gives one enough time to react, slow down and stop when required. Pile-ups are often caused when vehicles are following each other too closely and are unable to react when things start to go wrong.
