    Size
    India’s total area accounts for about 2.4% of the total geographical area of the world. Thus, it is the 7th
    largest country in the world, by its size.

     India has a land boundary of about 15,200 km.

     The total length of the coastline of the mainland is 7,516.6 km including Andaman and Nicobar
    and Lakshadweep.

     India is bounded by the mountains in the northwest, north and northeast. South of about 22°
    north latitude, it begins to taper and extends towards the Indian Ocean, dividing it into two seas,
    the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on its east.

     Time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30'E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar
    Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for India.

    India and the World
    The Indian landmass has a central location between the East and West Asia. India is a southward
    extension of the Asian continent. The trans-Indian Ocean routes connect the
    countries of Europe in the West and the countries of East Asia. No other country has a long coastline
    on the Indian Ocean as India has. India’s contacts with the World have continued through the ages.
    The spices, muslin and other merchandise were taken from India to different countries. On the other
    hand, the influence of Greek sculpture, and the architectural styles of domes and minarets from West
    Asia can be seen in different parts of India.

    India’s Neighbours
    India has 29 states and seven Union Territories. India shares its land boundaries with:
     Pakistan and Afghanistan in the northwest
     China (Tibet), Nepal and Bhutan in the north
     Myanmar and Bangladesh in the east

    The southern neighbours across the sea consist of the two island countries, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
    India has had strong geographical and historical links with her neighbours.
