    Myanmar and Pakistan. AreaTotal3,287,263
    sq kmLand2,973,190 sq kmWater314,400 sq
    km Comparative Slightly more than one-third
    the size of the US.
    • India is a vast country. The India main land
    extends between latitudes 8°4'nto 37°6'N and
    longitudes 68°7'E to 97°25'E. The tropic of
    cancer (23° 30'N) divides the country into
    almost two equal parts. To the southeast and
    southwest of the mainland, lie the Andaman
    and Nicobar islands and the Lakshadweep
    islands in Bay of Bengal and Arabian sea
    respectively.
    • The land mass of India has an area of 3.28
    million square km. India’s total area accounts
    for about 2.4 per cent of the total
    geographical area of the world.
    • India has a land boundary of about 15,200 km
    and the total length of the coast line of the
    mainland including Andaman and Nicobar an
    Lakshadweep is 7,516.6 km.
    • The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the
    mainland is about 30°.
    • East-west extent appears to be smaller than
    the north-south extent.
    • From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a
    time lag of two hours.
    • Hence, time along the standard meridian of
    India (82°30'e) passing through Gopiganj
    (Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the
    standard time for the whole country.

    INDIA AND THE WORLD
    • The Indian landmass has a central location
    between the east and the west Asia.
    • The trans Indian ocean routes which connect
    the countries of Europe in the west and the
    countries of east Asia provide a strategic
    central location to India.
    • India’s contacts with the World have
    continued through The ages but her
    relationships through the land routes are
    Much older than her maritime contacts.
    • The various passes across the mountains in
    the north have provided passages to the
    ancient travelers, while the oceans restricted
    such interaction for a long time.
    • These routes have contributed in the
    exchange of ideas and commodities since
    ancient times.
    • The spices, muslin and other merchandise
    were taken from India to different countries.

    INDIAN NEIGHBOURS
    • India occupies an important strategic position
    in South Asia. India has 29 states and 7 Union
    Territories.
    • India shares its land boundaries with Pakistan
    and Afghanistan in the northwest, China
    (Tibet), Nepal and Bhutan in the north and
    Myanmar and Bangladesh in the east.
    • Our southern neighbours across the sea
    consist of the two island countries, namely Sri
    Lanka and Maldives. Sri Lanka is separated
    from India by a narrow channel of sea formed
    by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar
    while Maldives Islands are situated to the
    south of the Lakshadweep Islands.
    DO YOU KNOW?
    • The southernmost point of the Indian Union–
    ‘Indira Point’ got submerged under the sea
    water in 2004 during the Tsunami.
    • Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869,
    India’s distance from Europe has been
    reduced by 7,000 km.
    • Before 1947, there were two types of states in
    India – the provinces and the Princely states.
    Provinces were ruled directly by British
    officials who were appointed by the Viceroy.
    Princely states were ruled by local, hereditary
    rulers, who acknowledged sovereignty in
    return for local autonomy.
