    India, officially the 

    Republic of India, is a state in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by


    geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the
    most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south,
    the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast, it shares land
    borders with Pakistan to the west; Bhutan, the People's Republic of China and Nepal to the
    northeast; and Bangladesh and Burma to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity
    of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a
    maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

    The Indian subcontinent was home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization and comprises


    historic trade routes and empires. Four of the world's major religions—
    Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—originated here,
    while Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the
    region's diverse culture.[15] Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early
    18th century and colonized by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an
    independent nation in 1947 after a struggle marked by non-violent resistance and led
    by Mahatma Gandhi.

    The Indian economy is the world's eleventh largest economy by nominal GDP and fourth largest
    economy by purchasing power parity. Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India
    has become one of the fastest growing major economies, and is considered a newly; however,
    it continues to face poverty, illiteracy, corruption and inadequate public health. A nuclear
    weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world, and
    ranks tenth in military expenditure.
    India is a federal constitutional republic with a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and
    seven union territories. It is a member of the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement,
    the World Trade Organization, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, the East,
    the G20, the G8+5, and the Commonwealth of Nations, and is one of the four BRIC nations.
    India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multiethnic society. It is also home to a diversity
    of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.
