    India (/ˈɪndiə/ ( listen)), officially the Republic of India (Hindi: भारत गणराजय Bhārat
    Gaṇarājya; see also official names of India), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-
    largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2
    billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world.[16] Mainland India is
    bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of
    Bengal on the east; and it is bordered by Pakistan to the west;[note] Bhutan, the People's
    Republic of China and Nepal to the north; and Bangladesh and Burma to the east. In the
    Indian Ocean, mainland India and the Lakshadweep Islands are in the vicinity of Sri
    Lanka and the Maldives, while India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share maritime
    border with Thailand and the Indonesian island of Sumatra in the Andaman Sea.[17] India
    has a coastline of 7,517 kilometres (4,700 mi).[18]

    wealth for much of its long history.[19] Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism,
