The Indian economy is the world's eleventh-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks eighth in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.

Etymology
The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hinduš.The
latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for
the Indus River.The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians as Indoi , which translates
as "the people of the Indus". The geographical term Bharat , which is recognised by the
Constitution of India as an official name for the country, is used by many Indian languages in its
variations. The eponym of Bharat is Bharata, a theological figure that Hindu scriptures
describe as a legendary emperor of ancient India. Hindustan was originally a Persian word
that meant "Land of the Hindus"; prior to 1947, it referred to a region that encompassed
northern India and Pakistan. It is occasionally used to solely denote India in its entirety.
