Is there a world boundary shapefile as per India's current stance?

[rigved1...@gmail.com]

Hi All,
I am trying to make a world map visualization. Where can I get shapefile that depicts world boundaries as recognized by India? India's boundaries should be as per Indian stand and other countries should be labeled as per India's position. Also what is the projection to use if India in the world map looks as much like India in India map?

Thanks.

Yes. Natural Earth providers Country Point-of-View shapefiles for different countries- including India https://www.naturalearthdata.com/blog/admin-0-countries-point-of-views/

For projection - EPSG:7755 is the Survey of India recommended projection for making maps of India. For Global maps however - use Equal Earth projection EPSG:8857 which is an equal area projection that preserves relative areas of countries - and is the official adopted projection of many agencies (including NASA) for producing global visualizations.
