Question

Justify the naming of Indian Ocean after India.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Indian Ocean is named after India because of its strategic location at the head of the ocean from ancient times and its long coastline which is longer than any other country in the Indian Ocean rim.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Indian landmass has a central location between the East and West Asia. India is a southward extension of the Asian continent. ... No other country has a long coastline on the Indian Ocean as India has and indeed, it is India's eminent position in the Indian Ocean, which justifies the naming of an Ocean after it.
