Explanation:

India is a land of great diversities, potentialities and is a rich country

inhabited by the poors. Its culture and civilization are as old as man himself.

It has great geographical extent. It belongs to south part of Asia continent. It

has lofty Himalayas in the north representing the youngest mountain building

epoch in the geological history, a part of which is permanently snow covered.

On the south, it is washed by the Indian Ocean. It encompasses vast areas of

diverse landmasses. It has vast fertile plains known as Great Plains of India.

The western part of the plain is defined by Thar Desert. On the eastern part

there is a big delta of Ganga -Brahmaputra Rivers. On the south of the plain,

the landmass is known as the Peninsular India, comprising a number of

uneven plateaus carved out by rivers flowing in different directions. It is an

event of earliest geological structure. This Indian peninsula has eastern

coastal Plain on its east washed by Bay of Bengal, whereas the western

coastal narrow plains on its west. Although climatically a typical monsoonal

realm with all rhythmic characteristics, the country exhibits a wide range of

climatic variation from the dry continental conditions to the humid littorals.

Its vastness, has given the pronoun of sub -continent, as it occupies

most part of South-Asia. Prof. Chisholm has rightly said that there is no part

of the world better demarcated by nature as a region by itself than the Indian

sub-continent. G.B. Cressey has also strongly advocated that may be termed

as sub-continent because it is distinct geographical unit with a number of

physical and cultural diversities. A number of Indian Geographers are not in

favour to use this term for our country. They are of the opinion that our

motherland has vastness and a number of diversities in physi cal, human and

cultural features. Such diversity may be rare in other parts of the world. It
