Why we cannot believe everything in the net...

The following picture is just one of many in a list forwarded to me. Having seen this picture, would you believe the rest of the information? It could have been just the mistake of the person who compiled this specific list and not the originator of the 'Did you know' series, but assuming this to be the case, there is still the danger of forwarding mistakes, especially with own comment (like what I am doing now)...
If this is India, then where is Africa? The last I knew, USA did not appear to look like this!
