Hi Sritoma,

I'm assuming you have the Shapefile data for India. If not, you can download it from - https://www.igismap.com/download-india-administrative-boundary-shapefiles-states-districts-sub-districts-pincodes-constituencies/.

This data will serve as a closed region. You can use the "inpolygon" function to find the points within India's boundaries and extract the data—such as state capitals—from these points.

For more information on the "inpolygon" function, please visit - https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/inpolygon.html
