India has a unique culture and is one of the oldest and greatest civilizations of the
world. It stretches from the snow-capped Himalayas in the North to sun drenched
coastal villages of the South, the humid tropical forests on the south-west coast, the
fertile Brahamputra valley on its East to the Thar desert in the West. It covers an area
of 32,87,263 sq. km. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress during the
last 62 years of its Independence. India has become self-sufficient in agricultural
production and is now the tenth industrialised country in the world and the sixth
nation to have gone into outer space to conquer nature for the benefit of the people.
As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia,
marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct
geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches
southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the
Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west.
Lying entirely in the northern hemisphere, the mainland extends between
latitudes 8°4' and 37°6' north, longitudes 68°7' and 97°25' east and measures about
3,214 km from north to south between the extreme latitudes and about 2,933 km from
east to west between the extreme longitudes. It has a land frontier of about 15,200 km.
The total length of the coastline of the mainland, Lakshadweep Islands and
Andaman & Nicobar Islands is 7,516.6 km.

border
Countries having a common border with India are Afghanistan and Pakistan to the
north-west, China, Bhutan and Nepal to the north, Myanmar to the east and
Bangladesh to the east of West Bengal. Sri Lanka is separated from India by a narrow
channel of sea formed by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar.
