    India (

    i
    /ndi/), officially the Republic of India (Bhrat Gaarjya),
    [12][c]
    is a country in South Asia.
    It is theseventh-largest country by 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 south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders
    with Pakistan to the west;
    [d]
    China, Nepal, and Bhutanto the north-east;
    and Burma and Bangladesh 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.
    Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires,
    the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long
    history.
    [13]
    Four world religionsHinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhismoriginated here,
    whereas Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, andIslam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also
    helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the
    administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered
    directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in
    1947 after astruggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma
    Gandhi.
    The Indian economy is the world's tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing
    power parity(PPP).
    [14]
    Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of
    the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it
    continues to face the challenges of poverty,corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare,
    and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing
    army in the world and ranks ninth in military expenditure among nations. India is
    afederal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 29 states and 7
    union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and a multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a
    diversity of wildlife in a variety ofprotected habitats.
