As per the official records of India till 2009, the Republic of India constitutes of 28 states and seven Union Territories. This huge number of different states itself tells about India’s diverse nature. If we start talking about the states of India, as usual controversy comes first. Means, the world’s one of the biggest controversial part known as Jammu & Kashmir is an inseparable state of India which is also the northern border of India, separating it from its very rivals Pakistan on its left and China on its rights. Now if we come down, we have Punjab and Himachal Pradesh as two other states of India. Himachal separates India from China on its right with huge Himalayan range of mountains and Punjab separates India from Pakistan on its left.

If we follow the same symmetry in little downward direction, here comes Haryana and Uttarakhand, another two sates of Northern India and based on the similar demographic features as of Punjab and Himachal respectively. Uttarakhand, earlier known to be Uttaranchal, is the newest formed state of India separated by Uttar Pradesh which was the largest state of India. Uttar Pradesh separates India border from Nepal and hosts a huge range of Himalayans. In between Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, one can locate the India’s National capital Delhi. Delhi is considered to be the Union territory of India but holds some legislative powers as of states and also known as half state. One can also find the second union territory of India as Chandigarh situated in between Haryana and Punjab. It is also the capital for both the states. Now if we come to western part of India, we find Rajasthan, the desert state of India hosting a huge border against Pakistan.

After it, Gujarat is another state of western India having a range of coastal region lying in red sea and sharing Indian borders with Pakistan. Below Uttar Pradesh, we find Madhya Pradesh. As the Hindi name clearly depicts about its origin of name, it the central part of India and it was also the one of the largest state of India. Separated from it, Chhattisgarh is another state which comprises of mainly tribal regions. Now, if we pan towards the east, after Uttar Pradesh, Bihar comes. It is the first state of Eastern India. It also shares its border from Nepal and Himalayans. Jharkhand is another state originated from Bihar which is known to be the richest in natural ores. After Bihar and Jharkhand, West Bengal comes, which witnessed great Indian historic events. It also has a costal range for India in Bay of Bengal.

By sharing it international boundaries with Bangladesh, it fetches a great consideration by Government. If we move further, at top of West Bengal, Sikkim is situated which is very small hilly state in the Himalayans and shares its boundaries with China and Bhutan. In the extreme east, we now reach to the seven sister states of India which are also known as north eastern states comprising seven small states with different tribes. These seven sisters are Assam, Arunanchal Pradesh, Tripura, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Mizoram. Each of these north eastern states has its unique importance and existence. At eastern corner of India, Arunanchal Pradesh is situated. It is the last state of India at this corner and shares an international boundary with China. Below it, we have Assam, the largest amongst the sisters and connecting state to the rest of the India to six other north eastern states.

Then comes Nagaland just below to the Arunanchal followed by Manipur. Both are the Border States of India. In last, Mizoram and Tripura come that are the south eastern corner states of India, sharing international borders with Myanmar. Tripura also shares its border with Bangladesh. Now, if we come back to the central India, We find Odessa earlier known as Orissa at South eastern side of India facing towards Bay of Bengal and below to West Bengal, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh from its North eastern side, Northern side and North western side respectively. After Odessa, Karnataka comes. It is also a coastal state lying in Bay of Bengal. Then comes Tamil Nadu, another coastal state. It is the last state in southern corner of India.

India’s third Union Territory, Pudduchery is situated partly in these two states. Another India’s Union territory is also situated on this side in form of islands and known as Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Adjacent to it, Andhra Pradesh is situated which has its coastal region in red Sea. Now in between Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, India’s another biggest state is situated. It touches Gujarat at its North Western side, Madhya Pradesh at its Northern side, Chhattisgarh at its eastern side and Andhra Pradesh at its Southern side. It also hosts an important coastal region in Red Sea. Now comes the India’s fifth Union Territory, Dadar and Nagar Havelli. Sixth is the Daman and Diu situated on the coasts of southern Gujarat. Now in between Maharashtra and Andhra, there is a very small Indian state but it is very famous. It is known Goa which is famous for its beaches.

And At the end, Kerala comes which is the last state of India at its south most part having a great coastal region in Red Sea and Indian Ocean. India’s seventh and the last union territory is here only right on the islands in red Sea, known as Lakshadweep.
