Question

2 minute's speech on india size and location​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When asked by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, “How does India look from the space?” “Saare Jahaan se Accha (best in the world)” was the reply of the first Indian cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma. India does look beautiful from up there. It has a crown like Kashmir, Bay of Bengal in East, the Arabian Sea in West and Adam’s bridge (Rama-Setu bridge) in South. Let’s understand in details the size and location of India.

India is situated in the continent of Asia. It lies completely in the Northern hemisphere and Eastern hemisphere between latitudes 84′ N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7′ E and 97°25′ E.

India is divided by Tropic of Cancer 23°30′ N in almost two equal parts. The upper half has a temperate cooler climate and the lower half has a tropical climate. The Southernmost point of the Indian union is known as ‘Indira point‘, however, that was submerged in 2004 Tsunami. In the south-east of India, Andaman and Nicobar islands lie in the Bay of Bengal. In southwest Lakshadweep islands lie in the Arabian sea.

India is enormous in size, as we discussed it is the 7th largest country in the terms of landmass. The total area of India is 3.28 million square km. India also accounts for 2.4% of the area on the globe, with a land boundary of 15,200 km and the coastal boundary that includes the islands is 7,516 km. When we see the outline of India on the map, we can easily identify the natural features like young fold mountains..

Answer 2

Explanation:

• India is one of the ancient civilisations in the world. It has achieved multi-faceted socioeconomic progress during the last five decades. It has moved forward displaying remarkable progress in the field of agriculture, industry, technology and overall economic development. India has also contributed significantly to the making of world history.

• Location

India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere the main land extends between latitudes 8°4’N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7’E and 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 is the seventh largest country 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 and Lakshadweep is 7,516.6 km.

• India is bounded by the young fold mountains in the northwest, north and north east.
• 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.

• 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 Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
• The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from south to north.
