Essay on Indian Geography
The natural resources of a country are of primary importance for the economic development. As a matter of fact, natural resources determine the economic life of a nation. England, for example, is an industrial country but she owes her precept position to her coastline, rivers, the proximity of rich coal mines and iron fields, and the temperate climate.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The U. S. A. is both an agricultural as well as industrial country. It possesses the requisites of industrialisation and at the same time its soil at some places is very fertile. Japan, too, is an industrial country because there is no scope for agriculture, and also the nature of the soil is not favourable for agriculture.
Man may grow rich in knowledge and intelligence, however much he may have overcome nature but ultimately he will have to depend on the materials supplied by Mother Nature for the development of his economic life.
The physical factors like topography, soils, geologic formation, climate and the available flora and fauna, are the basic influences which lead to differences in land-use, cropping pattern, settlement and density of population and occurrence of minerals, water and power resources in different parts of the country. In the case of India, a study of agricultural problems should start with an investigation of the physical, edaphic and climatic factors.
In the north lies Himalaya which separates it from China, in north-west lies Pakistan and in the east it is flanked by Myanmar, separated from it by Assam hills. In the south it is bounded by the Arabian Sea in the west and by Bay of Bengal in the east. Sri Lanka lies on its south-eastern tip. In the Arabian Sea stand the Lakshadweep (Laccadive, Amindivi and Minicoy) and in the Bay of Bengal are the Andaman Nicobar Islands.
Essay # 1. Geographical Situation of India:
The Republic of India is a vast country. It lies entirely in the northern hemisphere. The mainland of the country extends between latitudes 8°4′ and 37°6′ north, longitude 68°7′ and 97°25′ east.It is one of the central and the largest of the three irregular peninsulas of Southern Asia possessing a highly favourable position as regards the rest of the world for purposes of international trade. It measures 3,214 km from north to south and 2,933 km. from east to west. It has land frontier of 15,200 km. and a coastline of about 6,100 km. The total length of the coastline of main land, Lakshadweep Island and Andaman and Nicobar Islands is 7516.6 km. Tropic of Cancer divides it into two unequal halves, the northern half lying in the temperate zone and the southern half in the Torrid Zone.
India has an area of 328.7 million sq. hectares from the snow covered Himalayan heights to tropical rain forest of the south. India’s population as on 1 March, 1991 stood at 846.3 million as against 84.6 million in 1981. Out of the total population, the proportion of rural population was 74.3 per cent as against 82.7 per cent in 1951. India comprises 26 states and 6 union territories.
While India accounts for 16 per cent of the world’s population, it has only a 2.4 per cent share in the land surface of the world. In a relative sense, India’s position in this respect is distinctly unfavourable. In the terms of geographical area, India ranks seventh among the countries of the world after Russia, U. S. A., Canada, China, Brazil and Australia in that order.India’s area is one-seventh of that of Russia and one-third of that of the U. S. A., Canada or China. But no less important is the fact that, in absolute terms, the geographical area of India is quite large 328.7 million sq. hectare. This is equivalent to two-thirds of the geographical area of Europe, exclusive of Russia. An important feature of the Indian area is that most of it is in the service of man.
In Russia and Canada, on the other hand, vast areas remain buried under perpetual snow. In Australia, there are large areas of desert useless for man. In Brazil, there are vast areas under tropical forests. Even in the U. S. A. more than 2.8 million sq. kms. are included in the western states which are mostly a desert. -This consideration naturally places India in the forefront among the countries of the world.
India’s-large size carries a few advantages. Firstly, in a country of so large dimensions, a variety of mineral resources are found. Secondly, the large size is associated with a variety of climates, and with this variety of climate goes the variety of crops, viz., she grows from tea to pepper and from saffron to cashewnut. Besides, India’s long coastline has its own economic advantages. In fact, its geographical area is one of its greatest assets.
