hopefully this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The Republic of India uses only one time zone across the whole nation and all its territories, called Indian Standard Time (IST), which equates to UTC+05:30, i.e. five and a half hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). India presently does not observe daylight saving time (DST or summer time).

You see India is more elongated vertically and thus has less area horizontally. Plus you go talk to the government, it's all about politics. Either way, then why would it be called IST if it wasn't standard everywhere in the nation, the government really doesn't care too much.
