I have a controversial question for you... let's say I order a map of India from India, would you give me a map with all the sections of the country intact (Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh) or would you give us a china approved section of India without Kashmir or bits of the east (like how google serves its maps)?

How do you manage to withhold or incorporate sketchy borders with geopolitical issues, or do you refrain from serving such locations altogether to avoid any backlash?

I think they just provide terrain maps without any human defined borderlines. You can draw whatever lines you want after you purchased them.
The prints seem rectangular. You'll just get a rectangular area of Earth's surface, with no borders visible is my guess.
We have an India map. The other commenters are right: no borders, just terrain.
