Geography of India
Let an agent explain the geography of India, relay physiography, climate, rivers and regions from geographic sources, describe the regional geographies the registry aliases name, and distinguish India s geography from the Indian subcontinent as a whole and from political divisions, presenting disputed areas neutrally.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Border and territorial disputes are presented with attribution.
