The survey of india puts out a political map of india <http://www.surveyofindia.gov.in/files/POL_MAP_4M_ENG_WTR.jpg> (here also <http://www.surveyofindia.gov.in/files/POL_MAP_4M_ENG_WTR.jpg>). These maps do not acknowledge
- the LOC between India-Pak (as was agreed on by the Simla agreement of 1972) - Aksai Chin (1993, 1996 agreement) (have to check the latest developments on this In addition, import of incorrect map is prohibited. and the wrong depiction of territory is a penal offence (1961 <http://mib.gov.in/sites/default/files/criminal%20law%20amendment%20act%2C%201961.pdf>, 1990 <http://mib.gov.in/sites/default/files/The%20Criminal%20Law%20Amendment%20%28Amending%29%20Act%2C1990_0.pdf> ) The map itself is not copyrightable, being essentially a statement of fact. Unless the idea is depicted in a very unique way/ format. Hope this clarifies.
