This plate used to be part of an ancient continent called Gondwana over 100 million years ago. Later on, it joined up with Australia to form what&#8217;s now called the <strong>Indo-Australian plate<\/strong>. Then, about 3 million years ago, India broke away from Australia and moved north, eventually crashing into Asia and sticking there.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India also has a lots of features you&#8217;d expect to find on a continent. There are over 1,652 different languages and dialects spoken here, and people practice many different religions while living together peacefully.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India&#8217;s geography is also really diverse. There are huge mountains in the north called the <strong>Himalayas<\/strong>, the flat<strong> Deccan Plateau<\/strong>, the wide <strong>Gangetic plain<\/strong>, <strong>sandy beaches<\/strong> in the south, the <strong>Thar Desert<\/strong>, <strong>mangrove forests<\/strong> in the east, lots of rivers crisscrossing the land, and the big ocean to the south. With all these natural resources essential for life, India seems like a mini-continent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Where is India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India is a country in South Asia. It&#8217;s the seventh biggest country in the world and has the most people living there. India shares borders with Pakistan in the northwest, China and Nepal in the north, Bhutan in the northeast and Bangladesh and Myanmar in the east. To the south, there&#8217;s the Indian Ocean, and to the west, there&#8217;s the Arabian Sea. Sri Lanka, an island country, is right next to the southern tip of India. If you look at a map, India&#8217;s coordinates are around 20.5937\u00b0 north latitude and 78.9629\u00b0 east longitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Interesting Facts About India<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India earns its nickname, the &#8220;<strong>Land of Spices<\/strong>,&#8221; due to its cultivation and abundant sale of various spices. These include cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, and turmeric.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India is where you can find lots of different animals, like the Bengal tiger, Indian elephant, Asiatic lion, and one-horned rhinoceros, just to name a few. India has designated over 500 places as wildlife sanctuaries and established 100 national parks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga, which is an old way of keeping your body, mind, and spirit healthy, started in India more than 5,000 years ago. Nowadays, people all around the world practice yoga.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the year, India celebrates many vibrant festivals, including Diwali (the Festival of Lights), Holi (the Festival of Colors), and Eid. These festivals show off India&#8217;s diverse cultures and traditions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">India has a long and rich history, dating back over 5,000 years to ancient civilizations like the Indus Valley Civilization.
