Hello if its mistake then why people are distorting there mobile in India and why they are firing Nokia mobile store?

Second why media and all world only write Muslim Extremist do that or do this. propagate these type of things every day. i did not see any news where western media talk about it.

Kashmir is one of the core issue of south Asia but no body taking interest in this issue because they don’t wanna see us structured.

Kashmiri’s Fighting for there independence since the partition, giving there life’s but no one come on front to resolve this issue. i have too many truth but i dont know the moderator approved my comment or not

hi guys,
ur residents of US of Indian origin. I do accept rule of law and complacency, but, including kashmir in pakistan’s territory in nokia maps is very unfair. Nokia is the most popular brand in India and it has 70% of Indian market with wide price range from Rs. 1000 to Rs. 50000/-. Indians have respected and embraced nokia to the highest level. But Nokia has betrayed India putting the state of Kashmir as being part of Pakistan’s territory in nokia maps!!!!! This is injustice to Indians !!! Nokia should say public apology to Indians through all the forms of media and it should immediately change the map !!!!!!!!!!!!!! If this does not happen, all Indian should destroy their Nokia phones and nokia should be banned in India !!!!!!!!!!!! Jai Hind !!!!!!!
Last but not the least, all NRIs should accept that their origin is India . Please respect India. Jai Hind again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kashmir is a very sensitive subject, especially because hundreds of thousands of Hindus were forced to move from their ancestral properties and ethnically cleansed during a genocide of Muslims from Pakistan. The Muslims were not even native to the land.

The mistake that Nokia, or Navteq made is akin to a company is akin to someone saying that the world trade center attacks were ‘okay.’ That would cause a lot of people, even here in the U.S. to be pretty damn pissed, maybe to the point of attacking a shopowner who was somehow affiliated with the company.

@Roy

“It was a mistake so instead of simply complaining they torch a store and destroy merchandise. The shop owner is an idiot for his complacency.” <– Agreed. Absolutely true.

“I guess the rule of law really means nothing outside of the United States.” <– Un-fraking-true. Rule of law should have been able to contain random acts of violence observed in your schools and colleges, if not multi billion dollar scandals that go on for decades.

“Thank god I live here.” <– Yeah, good for us.

Un-fraking-believable how ignorant people are. It was a mistake so instead of simply complaining they torch a store and destroy merchandise. The shop owner is an idiot for his complacency. I guess the rule of law really means nothing outside of the United States. Thank god I live here.
