India’s Neighbours


India occupies an important strategic position in South Asia. India has 28 states and 8 Union Territories.

Our southern neighbours across the sea consist of the two island countries, namely Sri Lanka and Maldives. Sri Lanka is separated from India by a narrow channel of sea formed by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar, while the Maldives Islands are situated to the south of the Lakshadweep Islands. India has had strong geographical and historical links with her neighbours.

Pakistan and Afghanistan are India's neighbors to the northwest. The relationship between India and Pakistan was never peaceful. Since the time of formation, there have been several issues between the two countries related to the Kashmir region. On the other hand, India and Afghanistan have diplomatic relations. There are several ties between the two countries in the military, infrastructure, and economy.
