Hint: It is the seventh-biggest nation on the planet in the world. As per the populace, India remains the country with the second-largest population in the entire world. India is a growing and developing economy.

Complete answer:
India stretches geographically over an area of 3.28 million square kilometers. India stands as the seventh-largest country in terms of its geographical area and has the second largest population. India’s land boundaries have a limit of around 15,200 km. The total extent of the coastline, including the two islands Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep measures 7,516.6 km.
The stretch running from the North of Kashmir to the South of Kashmir measures around 3,200 km while the stretch running from Arunachal Pradesh in the East to Kuchchh in the West is around 2,900 km.
India is situated in the northern hemisphere of the world. From the South to North stretch, the territory of India reaches out somewhere in the range of 8°4'N and 37°6'N latitudes. From the west to east, India reaches out somewhere in the range of 68°7'E and 97°25'E longitudes. Because of the extraordinary longitudinal degree and distinction of around 29°, there is a wide contrast of almost 2 hours in the local times of the places located in the extremes of the country. On the South of the country, it is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, specifically the Arabian Sea on the west, the Lakshadweep Sea toward the southwest, the Bay of Bengal on the east.

Note: The time difference between the two parts is mediated by the adoption of an Indian Standard time passing through Mirzapur longitude 82.30° E. India stands at the 2nd position in terms of its population after China.
