Mount Everest continues to rise at an average rate of about 40 millimeters (1.6 inches) per year as the Indian Tectonic Plate slides north under the Eurasian Plate.

Yes. To put it in simple terms, because of the the Indian land mass crashing into the Asian land mass, Mount Everest is rising about 2 inches per year.

YES!!
The Indian plate is running into the plate of mainland Asia. As it pushes, both sides begin to fold upwards (think of two magazines being pushed together).
So the entire of the Himalayas are rising.
The Rocky Mountains, the Alps, and the Andes are also rising as a result of this convergence of the plates.

The plate that created the Himalayan Mountains continues to push against India causing them to continue to rise.
