India - Location

NCERT India Physical Environment, Class 11, Chapter 1 locates India between latitudes 8 and 37 north and longitudes 68 and 97 east, with the Tropic of Cancer cutting through its middle. It outlines the vast land frontiers with neighbours, the long coastline washed by the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal, and the central place in Indian Ocean trade. The chapter links size and position to varied climate, time zones, and seasons, helping readers grasp why location shapes economy, culture, and strategy.
