India (i/ˈɪndiə/), officially the Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four of the world's major religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi.
GREATER NEED
I wanted to talk to you this morning, and on into the afternoon
But you were out somewhere, so I couldn't get to you
I needed to make a connection, I needed to say your name
So I spoke to myself, but it wasn't the same
And it seems like I want you around me
A little more than you want me, so I guess
I'm the one with the greater need
It's not fair, it's not right, the way I need you here tonight
I'm so mad, you just don't know, 'cause it always seems to me
I'm the one with the greater need
It's so hard to want somebody, more than they want you
It's something everybody, in life goes through
But sometimes it's hard to admit it, and see what others can see
That you're the one with the greater need
It's not fair, it's not right, the way I need you here tonight
I'm so mad, you just don't know, 'cause it always seems to me
I'm the one with the greater need
I'm so mad, you just don't know, 'cause it always seems to me
I'm the one with the greater need
