I am not sure why Google is doing this – Repeatedly Google has been messing around with India’s Map, especially the Northern India-Pakistan border.
Google Insights, which offers analytics on searches done on the search engines now shows Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) is part of Pakistan.

Just few days back Google had announced that their upgrade on Mapping systems, where the Geo-Political boundaries are shown with more precision and any areas that are disputed will be shown in dotted lines (see the Google Maps above).
However, if you search on Google insights, that is not the case. It clearly shows PoK as part of Pakistan. It should have showed the whole area as disputed if not as part of India.
Google has also goofed up earlier when it showed Arunachal Pradesh in Mandarin, giving impression that it is part of China.
