G'day tasneem alt gumar,
Thank you for your question.
Sunrise, also called sunup in some American English dialects, is the time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon in the east. Sunrise should not be confused with dawn, which is the (variously defined) point at which the sky begins to lighten, some time before the sun itself appears, ending twilight.
The apparent westward revolution of Sun around the earth after rising out of the horizon is due to the Earth's eastward rotation. This illusion is so convincing that most cultures had mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model of the universe. This same effect can be seen with near-polar satellites as well.
However, in the Antarctic circle in the summer solstice (December 21) the sun sets and rises in the south. The opposite is true in the Arctic in their summer solstice
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

It rises from the East anywhere is the world. Actually it does not rise. It seems as if it is rising. This is so because the Earth is rotating from left to right.

Because you were standing in India. If you were outside India, the sun will rise east of wherever you were.

That's because sun rises in east and sets in west all throughout the world.

not only in India this is constant throughout the world....
it's because the spin of earth is from west to east which makes the sun to rise in the east and to set in the west....

It rises from the East everywhere because of the Earth's rotation
