Republic of India is a sovereign country in South
Asia. It is the seventh-largest
country by geographical area, the second
most populous country, and the most populous liberal
democracy in the world. India, bounded by the Indian
Ocean on the south, the Arabian
Sea on the west, and the Bay
of Bengal on the east, has a coastline of over 7000 kilometers.
Home to the Indus
Valley civilization and a region of historic trade
routes and vast empires,
the Indian
subcontinent was identified with its commercial
and cultural

Hinduism,
Buddhism,
Jainism
and Sikhism
originated here, while Islam,
Christianity,
Judaism
and Zoroastrianism
arrived in the first millennium CE
and shaped the region's variegated culture.
