Detailed Solution

The peninsular situation, central location, and Indian landmass helped India to establish close contacts with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the west coast and with southeast and east Asia from the east coast. The Indian landmass has a focal area in East and West Asia. India is toward the south expansion of the Asian mainland. The trans-Indian Ocean courses, which associate the nations of Europe in the West with East Asia, give an important focal area to India. The Deccan peninsula juts into the Indian Ocean, helping India to lay out close contact with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the Western coast and South-East and East Asia from the Eastern coast. No other nation has a long shore on the Indian Ocean as India has. In this way, India's prominent situation in the Indian Ocean legitimises the naming of a sea after it.
