| At its widest point, India is about 2,000 miles, which equals 2 time zones (The math: earth is 24,000 or so miles in circumference and there’s 24 hours in a day …). In the north and south, as you can see, it tapers off. Splitting the country into 2 times zones would make things confusing for the north and south where people living right next to each other would be in a different zone. Hence, the decision to split the difference and put everybody on one time zone. |
