Politics over Map of India

We all are very passionate Indians. The State of Jammu & Kashmir has always been a sensitive issue on us. We get very much frowned and angry when some foreign country or news channel start showing some part of State, as not part of India. So where is the problem, with us or with them ? A passionate answer "Of course, its them". But is it ?

Throughout our school ciricullum we are showed and taught a full Jammu and Kashmir state map. Personally, I got a shocker when I came to know that we do not have full control over Kashmir. Leave about the PoK, even the whole state is administered differently than rest of India. I was like "What....!!!". So, the questions become why we have not been calling a spade a spade since childhood.

We have to get our facts straights. The funny thing is that leaders who taught us that we got our freedom based on non-violence and truthfulness, did hide the real truth from us. If we have to solve problems, we have to first understand the problem and stop manipulating the school books to glorify only some elite section of peace loving freedom fighters.
