Answers
Explanation:
The central location of India at the head of the Indian Ocean is considered of great significance. Why? Answer: ... The trans Indian Ocean routes which connect the countries of Europe in the West to the countries of East Asia provide a strategic central location to India.
Answer:
It is due to india's such prominent location which justifies naming the ocean after it. India divides the ocean into the arabian sea in the West and bay of bengal in the east. The deccan peninsula protrudes into the indian ocean which helps India to establish close contact to west asia, Africa and Europe through its west. Through its eastern coastline it establishes contact with east and South East Asia. This makes india's location in the indian ocean of great strategic importance.
