Court bars import of China-made globes

Court bars import of defective globes (siliconindia.com)

The Delhi High Court barred the import of China-made globes that show Jammu-Kashmir in a color different from that of India as if it was not a part of the country.

Interestingly the Court also asked the government to pay Rs. 10,000 to Subhendu Prakash Gautam, as costs in recognition of his efforts to bring the defective globes to the court's notice.

This highlights an interesting possiblity of China surreptitiously changing maps and borders in toys and maps and somehow spreading their viewpoint of geography.
