The Current Representation of India’s International Boundaries on OpenStreetMap Is Unacceptable


The current representation of India’s international boundaries on OpenStreetMap is unacceptable.

Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Arunachal Pradesh are integral parts of India according to the official position of the Republic of India. Displaying a map that does not reflect India’s official boundaries creates confusion for users and undermines the reliability of your platform.

OpenStreetMap must immediately review and correct the representation of India’s boundaries or provide a clear public explanation, supported by its official mapping policy, explaining why the platform displays a different representation.

If OpenStreetMap is unwilling or unable to display India’s official map, it should clearly disclose that its map does not represent the official map of India in relevant jurisdictions. Continuing to present an alternative representation without clear disclosure is misleading to users.

Required Response


I expect OpenStreetMap to provide:
  • A formal explanation of the current boundary representation.
  • The official mapping policy governing the depiction of India’s international boundaries.
  • The data sources used to determine the current representation.
  • The corrective action OpenStreetMap intends to take, if any.
  • A timeline for addressing this issue or a clear justification for maintaining the current representation.
This issue requires immediate attention. I expect a formal response explaining the current representation, the policy behind it, and the action OpenStreetMap intends to take.





An inadvertent typo recently led me to a slightly alarming discovery. Omitting the r from www.openstreetmap.org took me to a website that definitely wasnt OSM, and prompted me to download something quite suspicious-looking.








One hot July evening ten years ago, I found my way to a bar somewhere near the Barbican in London and descended down the stairs into the basement space for the MapSwipe launch party.
