The usual criteria I've seen mapmakers use is the reality on the ground. If you want to travel there right now, who will you need to get a visa from? At the moment the answer is India, so it is part of India.
Whether that is the way it should be or will be in the future is another kettle of fish. Whether that answer will make people upset is also a good question. It looks like Google is taking advantage of the Internet to try to tell everyone what they want to hear.
But right now if you want to take an international flight there you'll need a visa from India. So it is part of India.
