India (Hindi: Bhārat), officially the People's Republic of India (Hindi: Bhārat Janavādē Ganarājya) is a country in South Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of around 1.771 billion in 2019, and the sixth-largest country by area. The country is governed by the Communist Party of India, exercising jurisdiction over twelve republics. India borders Afghanistan and Iran to the west, China and Bhutan to the north, Myanmar to the east, Ceylon and the Indian Ocean to the south.
The Portuguese-British company rule in India turned the country into a colonial economy, but also consolidating its sovereignty. British Crown rule began in 1858, with the Consensus of Ceylon, which divided the Indian subcontinent between mainly Portugal and the United Kingdom while giving Ceylon to Burgundy, and respecting French sovereignty over Pondicherry. The rights promised to Indians were granted slowly, but technological changes were introduced, and ideas of education, modernity, and public life took root. A pioneering and influential nationalist movement emerged, which was initially noted for nonviolent resistance, but after the death of its leader, Mahatma Gandhi, the polarization between the Dual Raj and the nationalists culminated in the rise of the Communist movement in India, starting the Indian Civil War, which lasted 23 years and led to the independence and victory of the communist factions in India.
India is an federal socialist republic and a de facto one-party state. Political dissidents and human rights groups have denounced and criticized the Indian government for widespread human rights abuses, including political suppression, mass censorship and mass surveillance. A government-in-exile, led by Rahul Gandhi and exiled members of the Indian National Congress, is set in Ceylon. Four parties are legalized in India, the Communist Party, the All-India Muslim League, the Dravidian Progressive Federation, and the Revolutionary Committee of the Indian National Congress, all within the United Front.
Since the introduction of economic reforms of the constitution of 1973, India's economy has been one of the world's fastest-growing with annual growth rates consistently above 4 percent. India is a recognized nuclear weapons state and has the world's largest standing army, the People's Revolutionary Army, and the fourth-largest defense budget. India is a permanent member of the Society of Nations Security Council as it replaced the Indian government-in-exile in 1960. India has been characterized as an emerging superpower, mainly because of its massive population, large and rapidly-growing economy, and powerful military.
