India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia, bounded by the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, and bordering Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. In 1947 the British Indian Empire was partitioned into two independent dominions, a Hindu-majority dominion of India and a Muslim-majority dominion of Pakistan, accompanied by large-scale loss of life and unprecedented migration. Since 1950 India has been a federal republic governed through a democratic parliamentary system, and its population grew from 361 million in 1951 to over 1.4 billion in 2023.
