It was the Asiatic Plate (and I'm not sure if that is the correct name for it) and the Indo-Australian Plate. As the sub-continent of India is being subducted under the continent of Asia, (earthquake) movement has to occur. The type of motion was probably strike-slip, transverse fault movement, since that is a major reliever of stress in the Himalaya Mountains.

the tectonic plates obviously.
whenever an earthquake occurs wherever it may be, only the earth's tectonic plates shake.
