India is the seventh largest country in the world covering an area of 3.28 million square kilometers.India covers 2.4 % of the total geographical area of the world.The mainland stretches from Latitude 8o4' North to 37o6' North and from Longitude 68o7' East to 97o25' East.The latitudinal & longitudinal extent of the country is almost same in degrees i.e. about 30o.The southernmost point in the Indian Territory, (in Great Nicobar Islands) is the Indira Point (6o45' North), while Kanya-kumari, is the southernmost point of Indian mainland.Tropic of Cancer crosses the country at 23o30' North dividing the country into almost two equal parts.The country is of a vast size and measures about 3,214 kilometers from North to South and about 2,933 kilometers from West to East.Coastline: 7,516.6 km encompassing the mainland, Lakshadweep Islands, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.The 82o30' East longitude is taken as Standard Time Meridian of India, as it passes through the middle of India (Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh).Indian Standard Time: GMT + 05:30.Strait: A narrow stretch of sea linking two large seas, e.g. Palk Strait, English Channel, etc.India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh are the countries forming the Indian sub-continent.
