I am missing some areas that ought to be shaded differently because they are “controlled” by the Maoists/Naxals/Reds who do not recognize the authority of GoI. May be I am just colour blind.

I hope you got the Sikkim back now. The Economist is not the final authority on border dispute. They showed who controls that area. China is controlling those parts; we need to accept that.

Nitin, Notice China, Country Briefing map (link). It shows Akshai Chin as part of China! Then notice the India, Country Briefing map (link) They dont sync. But then, accuracy, fairness hasnt really been the Economist's hallmark, has it?
