Answer:
Peninsula is any landmass which is surrounded by water on three sides and land on one side. India is called as Indian Peninsula because it is surrounded by the Indian ocean on the south, the Arabian sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on the east.

Answer:
A peninsula (Latin: paeninsula from paene "almost” and insula "island") is a landform surrounded by water on the majority of its border while being connected to a mainland from which it extends. The surrounding water is usually understood to be continuous, though not necessarily named as a single body of water.
