Best Answer

Any country which is surrounded by sea three sides and the fourth side is land locked, is called peninsular. India is surrounded by Bay of Bengal, Indian ocean and the Arabian sea as its three borders and the fourth side is land locked with Himalayan Mountains. Hence India is a peninsular country.
