    <p>India, officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya),[18][19][c] is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area,
      the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. India is a federal constitutional
      republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 29 states and 7 union territories. A pluralistic, multilingual, and multi-ethnic society,
      the country is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. 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 Bhutan to the north-east;
      and Myanmar (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.</p>

      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.[20] Four major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas
      Zoroastrianism and the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE and also shaped the region's diverse culture.
      Gradually brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom after
      the Indian Rebellion of 1857, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence led by Mahatma Gandhi that was marked by non-violent
      resistance. Upon the promulgation of its constitution, India became a republic on 26 January 1950.
