00:00You've already asked why l'Inde has a horary delay so strange,
00:03not an hour pile like its neighbors,
00:05not 5 hours and 30 minutes in advance on Londres.
00:08And it's not an error, it's a strategic choice.
00:11After its independence, in 1947,
00:14l'Inde wanted to be affirmed as a unique country,
00:16despite its immense taille and its multiple fuseaux horaires potentiels.
00:20Instead of dividing the country in two or three fuseaux
00:23as the Chine would also do it,
00:24l'Inde decided to create a unique fuseau, symbolical,
00:28called Indian Standard Time ,
00:31centré sur un méridien situé à 82,5 degrés est.
00:35The country works with a single hour national,
00:38even if the sun rises very early to the east,
00:40like Kolkata,
00:42and very early to the west, like Mumbai.
00:44This choice of 30 minutes,
00:45instead of an hour pile,
00:47was to distinguish the ancient colonial puissance and affirm its identity.
00:51A half-hour which is long on the history and nationality of India.
00:54But do you know that at Népal, the hour is recalé de 5h45
00:58compared to Londres,
00:59even more precise than l'Inde ?
