Question No. 7 to 12 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the
questions:
The Indian landmass has a central location between East and West Asia. India is a southward
extension of the Asian continent. The trans-indian Ocean routes, which connect the countries of
Europe in the West and the countries of Fast Asia, provide a strategic central location to India. The
Deccan Peninsula protrudes into the Indian Ocean, thus helping India to establish close contact
with West Asia, Africa, and Europe from the western coast and with Southeast and East Asia from
the eastern coast. No other country has a long coastline on the Indian Ocean as India has and
indeed, it is India's eminent position in the Indian Ocean, which justifies the naming of an Ocean 6)
after it. Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, India's distance from Europe has been
reduced by 7000 km. India's contacts with the World have continued through ages but her
relationships through the land routes are much older than her maritime contacts. The various
passes across the mountains in thee north have provided passages to the ancient travellers, while
the oceans restricted such interaction for a long time. These routes have contributed to the
exchange of ideas and commodities since ancient times.
