Google Maps displays Jammu & Kashmir, Arunachal as disputed [Maps]
By 
As of Tuesday, Google has re-lined the borders of over 60 countries and regions in Google Maps, and will be rolling out the same to Google Earth as well. Google's official statement states: "In the case of geopolitical features on our maps, the depiction of borders is something upon which local authorities, governments and internationally recognized bodies often disagree. Our goal is to provide the most legible and accurate maps we can given the information available in these oft-changing areas of geopolitical disagreement. Like most maps, ours include symbology that makes borders and other geopolitical features clearer to users."
Jammu and Kashmir: Solid (yellow in Google Earth) means "international" - while dashed (grey in Google Maps) - means "disputed".
Arunachal Pradesh is shown as disputed territory on Google Maps.
Political maps are drawn and redrawn throughout time and history. As long as we're talking maps, see: Maps of War.
