Africa dwarfs India: about 30,370,000 km² km² against 3,155,807 km² km². At true size Africa is about 9.6× larger — the whole of India fits into Africa roughly 9 times.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (1× vs 1.2× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
India fits 9× into Africa.
