>>In countries where geographic borders are in dispute — like India and Pakistan, which are at odds over demarcation of the Kashmir region — Nokia has produced separate digital maps for each country, with each version displaying that country’s preferred border.

Does google maps or openstreet map follow similar strategies? I always wondered how issues like these were handled as they are so complicated for a single organization to deal with.

Google maps and OSM show both the borders. For an India focused website I am currently working on, I went with jvectormap for this reason ( it is just a map to show cities and towns as points ) - http://www.ruralindiaonline.org/map/

TomTom has this as well. The core map contains something called "disputed border". It's up to the manufacturer licensing the map to use this attribution of course.
