    countries.
    Strategic geographical location:
    India is one of the ancient civilisations in the world. It has achieved multifaceted socio
    economic progress during the last five decades.India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the
    Northern hemisphere (Figure 1.1) the mainland extends between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N and
    longitudes 68°7' and 97°25' east longitude.India is the seventh largest country in the world.It has total
    area of 3,287,263 sq kilometre,measures 3,214 km from north to south and 2.933 km from east to
    west.It has a land frontier of 15,200 km and a coastline of 7,516.6 km.The Tropic of Cancer divides the
    country into two equal parts.To the South East and South West of the mainland,lie the Andaman and
    Nicobar islands and the Lakshadweep islands in Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea respectively.

    India has a central location between East and West Asia.India is a southward extension of the Asian
    Continent.The Indian Oceans routes which connect to the countries of Europe in the West and the East
    Asia provides a strategic central location of India. The Deccan Peninsula protrudes into the Indian
    Ocean, thus helping India to establish close contact with West Asia, Africa and Europe from the
    western coast and with Southeast and East Asia from the eastern coast. No other country has a long
    coastline on the Indian Ocean as India has and indeed, it is India’s eminent position in the Indian Ocean
    which justifies the naming of an Ocean after it.

    The geographical location of India identified in three ways:


    1.The help of latitudes and longitudes:
    (a)Latitude:Located in the northern hemisphere.India stretches from 8°04 nm 8°04′ north
    latitude in the south to 37°06 north latitude in the north.

    to 97°25 east longitude in the east

    Arabian Sea in the west, (iii) the Indian Ocean in the south and (iv) the Lakshadweep Sea to the
    southwest. No part of India is beyond 900 km from the sea.

    3. In relation to the location of neighbouring countries: India is bordered on the north by China (the
    largest neighbour, 96 lakhs sq. km), Nepal and Bhutan, on the east by Myanmar and Bangladesh, on
    the south By Sri Lanka, on the west by Pakistan and on the north-west by Afghanistan. The smallest
    neighbour of India (298 sq. km), Maldives, lies to the south-east of India; with these neighbours India
    has trade relations as well as cultural links.

    India`s neighbours countries and its border:As we know that India has 28 states and 7 union
    territories India shares its land borders to the west sides with Pakistan;to the north side with China,Bhutan,
    and Nepal and;to the east side with Bangladesh and Myanmar;and to the northwest side with Afghanistan.In
