Abstract
Every person who has his domicile in the territory of
India and who is born in the territory of India is the

the identity of an individual as an Indian or not. Similarly
the physical body or sex chromosomes of an individual
help to detect one’s gender identity. We identify a person
as rich or poor, strong or weak by observing some
specific criteria. An individual develops his or her
identity based on own perception regarding himself and
others opinion about that individual. But in reality, it is
quite difficult to figure out 100% original identity of an
individual by himself or by others. So identity can be of
three types; first of all an identity which is given or
accepted by a person by him/herself (which can be named
as “I” identity), secondly identity of a person created on
the basis of other’s perceptions (YOU Identity) and
thirdly identity which is a true identity or complete
identity of an individual (“T” for true identity). All these
three types of identity are greatly influenced by both
physical (like Geopolitical territory) and mental factors
(like culture, ideology). These Identity influencing factors
are having some limitations or boundary. The people who
come under the boundary of identity influential factor that
factors become the part of their identity. For example,
people staying inside the territory of India become Indian
