Introduction
India is my country. India is the seventh largest country of the world after Russia, Canada, China, U.S.A. Brazil and Australia. In population, she is the second largest country of the world. It is only 2.4 per cent of the total area of the world. Our country has about 16.5 percent of the total population of the world. Thus every seventh person of the world is an Indian. Due to its vastness in size. It is described as a sub-continent. The international boundary of India passes through a variety of landforms-barren desert lands, green agricultural fields, gushing rivers, snow-clad mountains and densly forested mountains.
Suitable Soil and Climate
The tropic of cancer runs through the middle of the country, dividing into two parts the North India and the South India. Monsoon climate and various soils lead to a variety of agricultural crops in our country. Long growing season also helps Indian farmer raise agricultural crops throughout the year. Various crops such as rice, wheat, barley, maize, jowar, and bajra are grown here. Beside these, we have pulses, oil seeds, sugarcane, potatoes, tea, coffee and fruits. India has been a leading producer of spices since times immemorial.
Industries in India

We have textile industries. Textile includes cotton, jute, wool, silk and synthetic fibres. The sugar industry ranks second amongst the agro-industries in India. Uttar Pradesh is the leading producer, of sugar.
Parliamentary form of Government
In India we have a federal form of government. It means that we have two, separate levels of government-at the centre and at the state level. At present the Indian Federation includes 25 States and 7 Union territories. The Constitution of India provides for a parliamentary form of government. President is the nominal executive head of the country. A large number of powers are vested in him by the constitution but in actual practice all those powers are exercised by the Prime Minister and other members of Council of Ministers. The President is bound to act on the advice of Council of Ministers. The central government has three organs-the Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. The Central Legislative is known as Parliament. The Central Executive includes President, Vice President, Prime Minister and Union Council of Ministers. The Judiciary is the Supreme Court of India. The Prime Minister is the ex-officio chairman of the Planning Commission. Thus we see that the Prime Minister is the real ruler of the country.
Diverse but Rich Culture
In my country linguistic, religious, social, and political diversity has played an important role in making the Indian culture rich. The Hindu Dharm spreads the feeling of tolerance. Buddhism and Jainism spread the principle of non-violence and Islam spreads the idea of one God.
Adequate Transport and Communication System
India stretches from Kashmir in the north to Kanyakumari in the South and from Kandla in the west to Kohima in the east.
