Question

Why Indian ocean named after our country India give reason

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indian Ocean is right under India, a sub-continent and this is how it got its name.Many navigators and sea traders wanted to travel to India they were interested in the Indian Route, in order to reach India. When they finally discovered the route it began to be called as the "Indian ocean" .The ocean had been so dominated by the Indians since c.3100 BCE (this the date of Mahabharat war, after which the kingdoms and dynaties scatter), that it was known as "Indian ocean.The historrical dominance proves the significance. From the ancient Egyptians' search for Punt to the medieval "European" search for "route to India" vouchsafes the fact.

The Indian Ocean is also the youngest of the world's oceans. When the supercontinent Gondwana began to break up approximately 150 million years ago, the Indian Ocean began to form. It did not achieve its current position and size, however, until about 36 million years ago.

First official use of name was in somewhere around 1515 AD.
