hi mate,

Indian Ocean

the third largest ocean in the world

to be named after India because India has the largest coastline boundary in the Indian ocean.

Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean and covers 20% of the earth water surface.

Named after India, the Indian Ocean is known as Ratnakara, “the mine of gems”, in ancient Sanskrit literature and as Hind Mahāsāgar, “the great Indian sea”, in Hindi.

Indian ocean is truly indian ocean because it is the only ocean named after a country i.e. India because India has the maximum no. of trade routs on the ocean.

The Indian Ocean is called so because it surrounds Indian sub continent. Probably in the ancient times, Sea vessels coming India for trade sailed through those waters to visit India and that is why theynamed it Indian Ocean. The Indian Ocean is right under India, a sub-continent and this is how it got its name

i hope it helps you..
