1) Sir/ Man upon adding the total land borders of India according to this page it comes out to be 15,000 km exact but here 15,200 km is written this is false and baseless information.

2) Sir/ Mam please remove the citation of government of India website as false information has been given. According to government of India India has a 106 km long border with Afghanistan which is not included in this page. So please remove the citation of government of India. 2409:4043:2218:487:0:0:1C82:70AD (talk) 13:23, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 13:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Border information not acceptable.

India also shares border with Afghanistan. Please correct the article. 2409:4055:9A:9CE7:0:0:249F:68A5 (talk) 03:21, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1. To do: Add these somewhere

Suggestion: Create a new section "Geological lists" at the bottom of article and above the "see also" section. Then add these 2 items to "Geological lists" section and move most of the relevant items from "see also" section to this new section eg. Borders of India Climate change in India Disputed territories of India Exclusive economic zone of India List of disputed territories of India List of extreme points of India. After that add Geology of India to "see also".

If you don't like the suggestion about creating a new subsection then at least add those two items somewhere in the article. Thanks. 119.74.238.54 (talk) 08:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: Added Geology of India to See also section. The list of mountains and passes articles are already contained in Template:Geography_of_India at the bottom of the article; it would be redundant to add them again.
