India

India, formally the Republic of India is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-biggest country by region; the most crowded country as of June and from the hour of its freedom in 1947, the world’s most crowded majority rule government. Limited by the Indian Sea on the south, the Middle Eastern Ocean on the southwest, and the Cove of Bengal on the southeast, it imparts land lines to Pakistan toward the west: China, Nepal, and Bhutan toward the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar toward the east. In the Indian Sea, India is nearby Sri Lanka and the Maldives; its Andaman and Nicobar Islands share an oceanic line with Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia.
