But Google told Deutsche Welle that the map users will see depends on their location. For example, residents of India see the map approved by the Government of India But they did not say why Google did not provide information on other maps.


A few months ago, Nepal gave birth to the first map controversy. The Prime Minister of Nepal, KP Oli, presented a new map in Parliament. There, several areas adjacent to India and Nepal are shown as part of Nepal. Although India claims that those areas belong to India. It has been on the map of India for a long time. There is a lot of confusion on the subject. In it, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan presented a controversial map. There are maps of Kashmir, parts of Ladakh and parts of Gujarat inserted into the map of Pakistan. India also vigorously protested the map of Pakistan. The subject is also discussed at the international level. India’s security adviser Ajit Doval walked out of the meeting when Pakistan displayed the same map at a recent session in Moscow.

This time, the same debate started with Saudi Arabia. However, according to some experts, Saudi Arabia may not have done it intentionally like Nepal or Pakistan. The King of Saudi Arabia visited India last year. At that moment, breaking protocol, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at the airport to receive him. Many experts considered that the meeting opened a new horizon in the relations between the two countries. Many believe that it is okay for Saudi Arabia to change the map according to the Barat rule; otherwise, the discussion about the map could be interrupted.
