Answer 2

The Indian landmass has a middle location between East and West Asia.

   

India is a southward expansion of the Asian continent.

   

The trans-Indian Ocean routes, which combines the country to Europe in the West to the countries of East Asia give a strategic central location to India.

   

The Deccan peninsular extents into the Indian Ocean, thus helping India to establish close communication with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the Western coast and with South-east and East Asia from the Eastern coast.

   

No other country has a lengthy coastline on the Indian Ocean as India has.

     

Thus, it is India's eminent position in the Indian Ocean which confirms the naming of an Ocean after it.
