Dear friends pls help me with this.
India is located in the northern and eastern hemisphere according to latitudes and longitude respectively. So how to tell the exact location of India and also why is India a subcontinent.

Dear Student

Location of India:

• Lies in the Northern hemisphere
• Main land extends between latitudes 8°4’N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7’E and 97°25’E. 
• The Tropic of Cancer (23° 30’N) divides the country into almost two equal parts. 

India along with its neighbours is called as a subcontinent due to the presence of certain unique geographical factors. While the area of the landmass is smaller than a continent, the diverse physical, topographical, climatic, cultural, ethnic, linguistic features distinguish it as a subcontinent. The physical and topographical features include Himalayan mountains, Northern plains, Deccan Plateau, Western Ghats, coastal plains, islands and delta regions.
Climatic variations include extremely cold regions in mountains to hot deserts and tropical climate. Monsoons are another unique feature of this part of the world. The rich biodiversity, particularly in Himalayas and the Western Ghats along with a wide variety of species of flora and fauna make this region very different from other places. People of different ethnicity and culture who also speak different languages live in this region. Thus, the region appears to encompass the features of many nationalities at a single place. This unique development has to a large extent been made possible by the Himalayas that have isolated this landmass from the rest of Asia. These characteristics have led to the coinage of the term sub-continent to highlight its diversity.
