Show Guangzhou as part of Gurgaon

So, on Monday, the People's Republic of China released its latest standard map of the People's Republic of China. Which is like someone putting up one's DP on social media. And, as if on cue, the Republic of India - after all, whose republic is it anyway if not the people's? - is fumious (fuming + furious in a very diplomatic way). China has included Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin in its map as 'ours'. India has reacted with FO - fingers off! - reiterating, by quoting lyrics from Nirvana's iconic song, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', that Arunachal Pradesh has 'always been and always will [until the end]' be an integral part of the country. Of India, that is.

This topographical thrust and parry between the two republics has been going on for some time now. If India has 'put up' its own map that China doesn't agree with - like making Arunachal Pradesh not part of what China calls 'South Tibet' - Beijing doesn't seem to be making much noise outside diplomatic circles. You certainly won't find Chinese free media writing a column on such a development. Oh, hang on. Free media in China is as real as free Tibet and a free lunch. So, we suggest India brings out a map, at least for its self-worth and sense of mardangi, that shows Tibet as a separate country. And why stop there? The map should also show Guangzhou as part of Gurgaon.
