It's Zuckerberg's birthday, but Indians are upset with him

It's Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's birthday today, but he isn't getting much love from Indians. There is outrage that he posted an infographic on Facebook which features a map of India without Jammu and Kashmir.

Zuckerberg posted the infographic last night announcing the launch of Internet.org in Malawi, Africa. It shows countries where Facebook's initiative has been launched.

"With this launch, Internet.org is now available to more than 1 billion people around the world!" he posted.

Angry Indians did not take long to spot his error and informed him in many comments, each endorsed with likes by many more people.
