1 WHY 82`30 has been selected as the Standard Meridian? 2 Why is the difference between the durations of day and night hardly felt at kanyakumari but not so kashmir?

Answer»

lose to the middle of the country (east-west). ALSO, it is a multiple of 7.5 degrees (half-hours) from the Greenwich MERIDIAN. Using 75 degrees E would be to FAR to the west, and using 90 degrees E would be too far to the west. Using 83.5 degrees E results in a nice 5.5 hour offset from London time.
