Complete answer:
India is situated on the western fringe of the Indian Ocean. It lies midway between SouthEast Asia and SouthWest Asia. India shares its land frontiers with Pakistan, China, Nepal and Bhutan in the north and Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east. The island nation of Sri Lanka is located off the southern tip of the Indian peninsula.It is separated by palk strait.
India is surrounded by water bodies on three sides namely Bay of Bengal in the southeast, Iridian Ocean in the south and Arabian Sea in the southwest. The Tropic of Cancer passes almost through the middle of the country and divides it in two halves-the tropical zone in the south and subtropical in the north. Lakshadweep off the western coast and the Andaman and Nicobar islands, located in the Bay of Bengal also form a part of India.
India lies strategically at the head of the Indian Ocean, at the centre of the Eastern hemisphere. Due to its strategic location, India commands the sea routes between Europe and Africa on the one hand, and Southeast Asia.

Note:With all its physical dimensions and characteristics, it is truly a subcontinent.
 It is the second most populous country in the world after China and the seventh largest in size.
