There are 5 continents in the world: 1) Asia 2) Africa 3) Europe 4) Americas 5) Oceania but other views count as much as 7 continents : "Since geography is defined by local convention and there is difficulty in setting lines in terms of "continuous", there are several variations as to which land masses qualify as continents, and which must be classified as supercontinents, microcontinents, subcontinents or islands. Seven landmasses and their associated islands are commonly reckoned as continents, but these may be consolidated. For example, North and South America are often considered a single continent, and Asia is often united with Europe. Ignoring cases where Antarctica is omitted, or where Australasia or Oceania are used in place of Australia (when considered as the largest island of the globe), there are half a dozen traditions for naming the continents."

India is sometimes referred to as a subcontinent, because it is a separate piece that is slowly, ever so slowly ramming its way into Asia and lifting the Himalayas.
