The adoption of standard time, because of the inseparable correspondence between time and longitude, solidified the concepts of halving the globe into an eastern and western hemisphere, with one prime meridian (as well its opposite International Date Line) replacing the various prime meridians that had previously been used.

Each country has several Meridian of longitude and hence the local time . In order to avoid confusion of time each country has its own Standard Time . In India 82 ½ longitude is taken as the standard time. The local time of this Meridian is taken as the standard time throughout the country.
