India shares international land borders with seven sovereign countries and it is the only country in the Indian subcontinent to share its land borders with every member country of the subcontinent. There are seven land neighbours of India: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, China, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
Trivia:
* India and Bangladesh share fifth longest land border in the world. The length of the border is 4,096 kms.
* Country with longest border line with India: Bangladesh
* Country with smallest border line with India: Afghanistan (Only officially )
* Indian state with longest coastal line: Gujarat
* The state of “Jammu & Kashmir” actually has 3176 km of international border with Pakistan, China and Afghanistan. But, due to border disputes and wars, India lost significant amount of land in Jammu & Kashmir making the International border just 2000 km ( 1474 with Pakistan and over 650 with China).
So, practically, the state of West Bengal which has 2500 km of International border with Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal has the longest international border.
