India'S Place In World In Current Time

 India'S Place In World In Current Time

 Politics combined with some logic is why India is only 30 minutes ahead or behind neighboring time zones. Of course, India has chosen to stay 30 minutes between the two time zones, so the country is only 30 minutes ahead of neighboring Pakistan. Also, although the vast area of ​​India spans two time zones, the time is the same throughout India. 

This is why clocks in India are offset by 30 minutes compared to most other time zones in the world. Currently, the country has a single time zone based on longitude passing through 82 degrees 33 east longitude. 

The study states that it is technically possible to have two time zones and two ISTs in India. For example, in New Delhi, India, they happened to be halfway between two meridians, and so they decided to stay 30 minutes apart instead of adopting each other at one point or another. For example, in New Delhi, India, they happened to be halfway between two meridians, and so they decided to stay 30 minutes apart instead of adopting each other at one point or another. 

But India is not the only country with an unusual time zone configuration - some states in Australia, Sri Lanka, St. John's in Canada, and Nepal are offset by 45 minutes from neighboring time zones, to name a few. Ironically, India is also two and a half hours behind every other part of China because the People's Republic decided they wanted the entire country to be in the same time zone. 

Its capital is New Delhi, although it has a number of densely populated metropolitan areas. India is the seventh largest country in the world by area and has a population of over a billion, making it only comparable to China in terms of population. 

India has an embassy in Buenos Aires and Argentina has an embassy in New Delhi. India has an honorary consulate in Belize City and Belize has an honorary consulate in New Delhi. India has a High Commission Office in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia has a High Commission Office in New Delhi. By 2015, the bilateral trade volume between the two countries exceeded 65 billion US dollars, becoming the largest trading partner of China and India. 

India also has close relations with developing countries, especially South Africa, Brazil, [71] and Mexico. India's "Indian Look East" policy has led to the development of India's relations with ASEAN countries, including Thailand, and Thailand's "Look West" policy has also led to the growth of its relationship with India. In 1998, India conducted a second nuclear test (see Pokhran II), which led to a series of US, Japanese and European sanctions against India. Although the conflict did not end with a full-blown war between India and Pakistan, relations between them reached an all-time low, which deteriorated further after the involvement of Pakistan-based terrorists in the December 1999 hijacking of Indian Flight 814. . 

This, combined with other pollutants, places India as the world's third largest producer of greenhouse gases after China and the US. The geography of northern India and its proximity to the Himalayas means that polluted air is very difficult to get out. During the winter months, when the wind strength is greatly reduced, the area can be considered as a pool from which pollutants do not escape. In parts of India, air quality has improved since 2018, albeit marginally. 

In 2019, a worldwide study found that 21 of the 30 most polluted cities are in India. India's cleanest city is Satna, Madhya Pradash with a 2019 PM2.5 of 15.5 µg/m3 and a US AQI of 58. The next cleanest city was Kumbhori in Maharashtra with 20.3 µg. / m3. In 2019, for the first time, the percentage of women's votes in national elections equaled that of men. 

Traffic congestion is a huge problem in the major cities of India due to the large number of cars trying to use the available roads. Other factors include the lack of segregated highways in cities and traffic accidents due to chaotic conditions on India's roads due to inadequate law enforcement. The tax system in India exacerbates this situation as the tax rate on petrol is much higher than on diesel. 

To this end, Japan has funded many infrastructure projects in India, especially the New Delhi subway system. India's goals to reduce air pollution over the next few years include introducing more than 1,000 electric buses and upgrading fossil fuel engines to meet stringent BS6 standards. In December 2019, Parliament passed the Citizenship Act Amendment Act (CAA), which provides non-Muslim immigrants and refugees from neighboring Muslim-majority countries with a special opportunity to obtain Indian citizenship. At the same time, the government is working on plans to create a national register of citizens. 

Until the middle of the 19th century, in large cities, local time was set when the sun reached its highest point in that particular city. With the advent of railroads and rapid transit from place to place, local average time made things more difficult, as trains arriving from a particular city would arrive at each stop in local time. 

India's candidacy for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council is currently supported by several countries, including France, Russia, [46] the United Kingdom, [47] Germany, Japan, Brazil, [48] Australia [49] and the United Arab Emirates.
