Will India see the longest solar eclipse of the century?

According to scientists, this eclipse will not be completely visible in India. But in most parts it will be visible as a partial solar eclipse. This means that there will not be complete darkness in India during the day, but the Moon will definitely be seen covering a large part of the Sun.
