India covers 3,155,807 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 2.4%% of all land on Earth, making it the 7th largest country in the world and the 2nd largest in Asia. At 23° latitude Mercator only inflates India by about 18%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale: India is roughly the same size as Argentina (2,782,703 km² km²).
You could fit 3 of Mauritania inside India.
