from gujarat to arunachal pradesh there is time lag of 2 hours. hence,time along the meridian of India(82 degree 39'east)passing through mirzapur (in u.p.) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
The sun rises earlier in arunachal pradesh as compared to gujarat in the east.but the clocks show the same time.how does it happen?
As India has chosen 82 and a half degree longitude as the standard meridian of India hence, the time at each state is same although the sun rises differently.
