Any land body is considered as a subcontinent if it has distinct characteristics of its own either politically or geographically even after being a part of the continent which is relevant by the fact of its geographical region regarding how it is surrounded by three large bodies. Not only that, the essential component (the people) is different in terms of caste, creed, religion, ethnicity, language and cultures. With the land containing different physical features such as the deserts, The Great Himalayas, plateaus and so on. Hence, one could conclude India as a subcontinent.

It basically defines a scenario showing unity along or within its heterogeneous or mixed elements. This line is totally appropriate for India as one can notice unity even though its constituents differ in terms of religion, geographical features and so on. Though with such differences we see how well it cooperates and benefits the country on a whole like the creation of flora and fauna possible by its diversified climate, the freedom of following one’s belief allowing secularism to flourish in the country and showing unity in times of foreign invasion keeping their differences aside with supportive examples such as the Kargil Invasion and on natural calamities like floods, tsunamis, etc.

The rivers from these two land bodies deposited their silts along the Tethys sea which later along with the northward movement of Gondwana pushed this deposited silt upwards resulting in the formation of gigantic folds due to the collision of the Indo-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate which are now known as the Himalayas.

The first is The Rajasthan Plain which is located in the Aravalli range extending for about 640kms with an average width of about 300kms. These cover western Rajasthan where two-third of this region is desert. Second is The PunjabHaryana plain, located in the north-east of the Great Indian Desert extending over 640kms from north-east to south-west and about 300kms from west to east. Third is The Ganga plain, the largest plain extending from The Yamuna River in the west to the Bangladesh in the east. Extending over 1500kms with an average width of 300kms covering the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal.
