Why does India only observe one time zone?

INDIA only crosses two time zones, (+5 and +6 hours ahead of the Greenwich Mean Time, and only a small portion of the country would be in +6, so they split the difference. and observe +5-1/2 hours from GMT.

Looking at http://www.worldtimezone.com/index12.php, it looks like it should be 4:00 pm.

I have debated this once with another knowledgable person. We came to a conclusion that any calculation/prediction is applicable at only time. This time has different representations in different time zones.\nTo explain a little further. These effects are caused because of a planetary/celestial body movement. That happens at a particular instant (assuming a global time - ofcourse this is a violation of laws of relativity). So if the effects are predicted for 12 noon PST then it is valid in India at 12:30AM the following day and so on...

Some time zone lines do not extend to the poles. There is actually a polar time for the north pole and the south pole. See the link below.

no, it's because of the rotation of the earth.  Clocks in the southern hemisphere go around the other direction, like your toilet ;-).\n\nIt's because the shadow on a sun dial in England goes around that direction.

The purpose of different time zones is so that when it is noon, the sun will be roughly overhead. We do not need to use time zones. It is just convention. Time zones and standard time only became necessary when the railroads arrived, and people started to worry about schedules.\n\nYou are not losing or gaining hours from your life directly when you move to a different time zone of course. You might be adding or subtracting stresses and other factors from your life that might have some indirect effect on the length of your life. And of course, travel and moving are not completely without risk.

You are probably referring to UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time).  The offset for the central time zone would be UTC-5 during daylight savings time.

there are 24 different time zones.  One for each hour of the day

Eastern time (US & Canada) is GMT -05.00 meanwhile India (Chenai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi) is GMt +05.30, so the time diffrence is 10 hours 30 minute, whith the time in India is forward

Do u mean through which states the Indian Standard time passes? I think the states are Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Orissa and Andra Pradesh.

One would think from looking at a map that Austira would, being further east but in fact, both France and Austria are GMT+1 with no daylight savings on Dec 31 so they are in the same time zone and celebrate it at the same time.\n\n(Checked using Brest, France - one of the most western cities against Wien/Vienna, Austria)

I think that when you first sign up to Yahoo! it asks you what time zone you are in. If you got it wrong or if you are at the edge of that time zone that would explain the time difference. Mine does it too. Its a real pain.

The whole country is "Officially" on one time Zone!!

Because some people cannot get up at the proper time of day to do their work they do not understand those who do.\n\nThere is the same number of hours of daylight either side of noon so adjust your day to suit that. There is no need to have British Summer Time, Daylight Saving Time, etc so stick to the natural time for your area of the world. That means GMT in the UK

Probably because the server is located on the West coast...this is normally why there is a difference. The service itself doesn't really have anything that would be time specific enough to call for them to allow users to set their own time zone...

The person above was correct since there are different time zones for different places in the USA.\n\nHere is a site with a map with the current times and the zones:\n\nhttp://www.worldtimezone.com/
