INDIA WORLD MAP ROW LIVE: The Ministry of External Affairs has issued a major clarification after India backed an international resolution supporting the use of equal-area cartographic representation for the world map.MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India voted in favour of the resolution because it supports the underlying principle of promoting equal-area cartographic representation. The move comes amid a growing global debate over traditional world maps and how they visually represent the size of countries and continents.However, India has also drawn a clear red line on any future map projection. The MEA has stressed that any new representation of the world must accurately reflect India’s full sovereign territory, including Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, in accordance with India’s official map.The clarification is significant given the long-running territorial disputes and cartographic controversies involving India’s borders. While India supports a more proportionate representation of land areas on the global map, New Delhi has made it clear that map reform cannot alter or misrepresent its sovereign boundaries.Why is the world debating a new map? What is an equal-area projection? Why has India specifically highlighted Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh? And could a new global map change the way the world sees countries?Watch CNN-News18 LIVE for the latest updates, MEA’s clarification and a detailed breakdown of the world map debate. -news CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
