q3 iNDIAN DISTANCE AS REPORTED BY g IS UNUNDERSTANDABLE. The shortest distance (air line) between India and Ukraine is 3,162.24 mi (5,089.13 km). The shortest route between India and Ukraine is 4,056.66 mi (6,528.56 km) according to the route planner.
(OK 3200) The shortest distance (air line) between India and Eritrea is 2,657.49 mi (4,276.82 km). The shortest route between India and Eritrea is according to the route planner. (OK 2900) It is 4946 km from India to South Korea. It is approximately 6656.7 km to drive.( it is not 2900) The shortest distance (air line) between Australia and India is 4,964.04 mi (7,988.86 km). Indra points to Aus 3500 miles. Mr G what the writer tries to say; all the distances are closest to Indian borders. AND THE SURPRISE ELEMENT IS IT IS NOW ONLY NAMESAKE THE INDIRA POINT; NOW IN 2004 TSUNAMI IT IS SUBMERGED.
