Mainland India

India's international borders in Kashmir (left) and Northeast India (right), outside of mainland India, are disputed by Pakistan and China (centre).

Mainland India is a geo-political term sometimes used to refer to India excluding the region of Northeast India and Kashmir, with the north-east connected by the Siliguri Corridor.

In a geographical context, Mainland India includes the entirety of India (including Northeast India) in continental Asia, excluding islands such as the union territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
