Question

Indian Ocean is name after India. True or false

Tell the answer

Answer 1

Obviously true.

Yes, indian ocean is named after our country because india is the country which has the largest coastal area that is in contact with indian ocean. If we talk about other countries like sri lanka, madagascar, singapore or other countries having regional contact with indian ocean, we see that they have less coastal region area in contact with the ocean as compared to india. Due to this reason indian ocean is specifically named after india rather than any other countries' name.

   HELLO ! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :-

True. Indian Ocean is named after India. This is because of the following reasons -

1. The Indian landmass lies at central location between the east and west Asia.

2. India is southward extension of Asian continent.

3. The Trans-Indian Ocean route which connect the countries of Europe in the west and the countries of east Asia provide a strategic location to India.

4. The Deccan plateau protudes into the Indian Ocean thus helping India to establish close contact with west Asia, Africa and Europe from the western coast and with southeast and east Asia from the eastern coast.
