Use of definite articles before a country name
“Tú debes viajar a la India.” Is it correct to have a definite article in this sentence? “You must travel to THE India?”
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Conjugate deber in the present tense in Spanish (El Presente)"

Hola Kent
Yes, some countries (most of them don't) use sometimes the article, for example "la India", "la Argentina" or "los Estados Unidos". You can use or omit the article, both options are correct.
Saludos
