**Describe the bug**

In chapters worldwide section of https://nest.owasp.org/ , the northern region is disputed between India and Pakistan. India consideres it as part of India, even on google maps , it's shown as part of India, however the worldwide section shows it as part of pakistan.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://nest.owasp.org/
2. Click on `unlock map'
3. Check norther part of India
4. Y'll notice some part of India as part of pakistan.

**Expected behavior**
Best we could do is show it as disputed region instead of showing it as a region of pakistan to avoid any sort of disrespect Or we could try to show it based on region similar to how google maps do.

**Are you going to work on fixing this?**

- [X] Yes

**Additional context**
Legally, this part is under India . If i were to give a brief explanation, here's how it follows

When India and Pakistan partitioned , all princely states were given option to merge with India or Pakistan or stay independent, Kashmir decided to be independent, it was ruled by a ruler . However later pakistani tribals militants started invading it , ruler of kashmir talked to Indian gov and agreed to sign [Instrument of Accession](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_of_Accession) after which India provided military assistance to Jammu & kashmir against the invasion.
