Dear Ravi,

Your shapefile is in projected coordinates. To open it on gvSIG you need
to set up your view on the CRS of your data, or if you use a lat/lon CRS
(like EPSG:4326) then you have to declare the CRS of your data in order
to let gvSIG do the on-the-fly transformation.

Using "ogrinfo" tool, your data is like this (note the extent and layer
SRS metadata):

[jsanz:~/tmp/ravi] $ ogrinfo -so shape-files/INDIA_boundary_arc.shp
INDIA_boundary_arc
INFO: Open of `shape-files/INDIA_boundary_arc.shp'
      using driver `ESRI Shapefile' successful.

Layer name: INDIA_boundary_arc
Geometry: Line String
Feature Count: 14
Extent: (427826.375000, 250872.984000) - (3271592.250012, 3509010.750000)
Layer SRS WKT:
(unknown) 
OBJECTID: Integer (9.0)
FNODE_: Integer (9.0)
TNODE_: Integer (9.0)
LPOLY_: Integer (9.0)
RPOLY_: Integer (9.0)
LENGTH: Real (13.11)
BOUNDARY_: Integer (9.0)
BOUNDARY_I: Integer (9.0)
TYPE: String (25.0)
Shape_Leng: Real (19.11)


Hope it helps
