The Longtitude of India is 77 West. The Latitude is 22 North. That is the geographical alingment of India. The relative location of India is between China and Bhutan. Also near Southern Asia, bordering the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, between Burma and Pakistan.

The economy in India is India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output with less than one third of its labor force. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, leading the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government to articulate a rural economic development program that includes creating basic infrastructure to improve the lives of the rural poor and boost economic performance. The government has reduced controls on foreign trade and investment. Higher limits on foreign direct investment were permitted in a few key sectors, such as telecommunications. I like the way the India country works things today. Everything is still civilzationed, similar to the United States. The economy is more of a mixed economy between a market economy and traditional economy (leaning more to a trditional economy) because they do a lot of traditional farming. Also market because the goverment has almost no controll over what people make or do.

For India's standard living they use telephones, television, radios, and the internet just like the United States. That is also India's mainly communication too. These are mostly all the speaking languages in India: Hindi 41%, Bengali 8.1%, Telugu 7.2%, Marathi 7%, Tamil 5.9%, Urdu 5%, Gujarati 4.5%, Kannada 3.7%, Malayalam 3.2%, Oriya 3.2%, Punjabi 2.8%, Assamese 1.3%, Maithili 1.2%, other 5.9%.

A fun fact about India is that they have 10 transportations to get places. Airports, Airports with paved runways, Airports with unpaved runways, Heliports, Pipelines, Railways, Roadways, Waterways, Merchant marine, Ports and Terminals.

The Indus Valley civilization, one of the world's oldest, flourished during the 3rd and 2nd centuries B.C. and extended into northwestern India. Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated onto the Indian subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. The Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. - which reached its zenith under ASHOKA - united much of South Asia. The Golden Age ushered in by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries A.D.) saw a flowering of Indian science, art, and culture.
