The region bounded by the young fold mountain ranges in the northwest, north and northeast, and washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean and its two northern arms the Arabian Sea in the west and the Bay of Bengal in the east, has been a distinct geographical and geopolitical unit since the ancient times. This region stands out distinctly from the rest of the continent of Asia and is called the Indian Subcontinent.
The word ‘India’ owes its origin to the Greek word ‘Indoi’ meaning the land near Indos River. The Romans pronounced the river as Indus and the country beyond it as India. The Persians referred to this river as Hindu (for Sindhu) and the land east of it as Hindustan. The name Bharat has been derived from the ancient king of that name, who visualised the fundamental unity of the country.
