  • However in spite of all that we can and ought to continue writing non political things on the internet, especially Wikimapia which makes maps so interesting. Unfortunately most Indians (like me) will never be able to visit these places that are in Pakistan, like Rahim Yar Khan. So the information, photos, etc. put on Wikimapia by those who have access to the place is our only way to "see" them. Please try to put more photos and historical information.
