Part of: Telangana Gk set 3

Which Indian state has not international boundary?

Category: Telangana Gk

Hint: Consider the geographical location of each state.

Correct Answer: D) Telangana

Exam Relevance: UPSC, SSC, Bank PO, State PSC

Difficulty: Easy

Explanations:

Understanding the geographical boundaries of Indian states is crucial for various competitive examinations and general knowledge. The question asks which Indian state does not have an international boundary, meaning it does not share a border with any other country. To answer this, we need to consider the location and neighboring states of each option.

Himachal Pradesh is located in the northern part of India and shares a border with China. This makes it a state with an international boundary. Similarly, Uttarakhand, also located in the northern region, shares a border with China, thus also having an international boundary.

Nagaland is situated in the northeastern part of India and shares a border with Myanmar (Burma). Therefore, Nagaland also has an international boundary. This leaves us with Telangana, which is located in the southern-central part of India.

Telangana is completely surrounded by other Indian states. It shares borders with Andhra Pradesh to the east, Karnataka to the west, Maharashtra to the north, and Chhattisgarh to the northeast. Since Telangana does not share a border with any other country, it does not have an international boundary. This makes Telangana the correct answer to the question.

It is important to note that many states in India, especially those located in the northern and northeastern regions, share borders with other countries. However, states like Telangana, which are landlocked and surrounded by other Indian states, do not have international boundaries. This distinction is crucial for understanding the geographical layout of India and its states.

Option Analysis:
  • Option A: Himachal Pradesh shares a border with China, so it has an international boundary.
  • Option B: Uttarakhand shares a border with China, so it has an international boundary.
  • Option C: Nagaland shares a border with Myanmar, so it has an international boundary.
  • Option D: Telangana is completely surrounded by other Indian states (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Chhattisgarh) and does not share a border with any other country, making it the correct answer.

Mnemonic: Think "T" for Telangana, "T" for "Terrestrial" (landlocked)
