Encyclopaedia Britannica CD-ROMs banned The silliness continues... Govt. of India do not want its citizens to know that outsiders think there is a dispute between India and Pakistan about Kashmir. They used to let in foreign books (including the Encyclopaedia Britannica) containing maps of the subcontinent only after blackening out the Kashmir region since the boundaries might be shown dotted-line or differ from the official Indian version. Since it is near impossible to do the same to a CD-ROM, they have decided instead to ban the entire CD-ROM. indian-express.com Please, nobody tell Sushma Swaraj there are maps on the internet, or VSNL would be putting in map filters soon.
