India, officially known as the Republic of India, is a vast and culturally rich country located in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country in the world by area and the most populous country, with over 1.4 billion people. Administratively, India is divided into 28 states and 8 union territories, each functioning under its own local government and administrative setup. These divisions allow the country to manage its immense diversity and regional governance effectively. Each Indian state reflects a unique combination of language, heritage, climate, and topography — from the snow-capped Himalayas in the north, the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains, the vibrant Thar Desert, to the lush Western Ghats and coastal backwaters in the south. This geographical and cultural variety makes India one of the most diverse countries in the world.
