Please properly change the map "File:India Administrative Divisions 1951.svg" you created

Hello, Andhrapur, the author of the map "File:India Administrative Divisions 1951.svg". This map, which shows administrative divisions of India in 1951, makes some big mistakes. First, this map shows Sikkim as a part of India. Sikkim was a sovereign state from 1642 to 1975; Sikkim is a state of India from 1975. Thus, this map should show Sikkim as a sovereign state as same as China, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan, Myanmar and Sri Lanka near India. Second, this map shows Bangladesh as a sovereign state. East Pakistan was a part of Pakistan from 14 August 1947, when Pakistan became independent from British India, to 16 December 1971, when Pakistan officially recognized the independence of Bangladesh. Thus, this map should change Bangladesh into East Pakistan, and show East Pakistan as a part of Pakistan.
