India itself is considered a sub-continent. India is part of the Indo-australian Plate.Tens of millions of years ago it rifted apart from Africa and eventually collided with Asia. The size of continents are subjective, with Greenland too small to be a continent while Australia, Antarctica and Europe are large enough to be continents (even though Europe has a massive land connection to Asia).

India is not a continent, instead it is one of the countries of the Continent of Asia.

India is currently slidding into western asia. Thats how the Himlayan mountains were formed, and they grow slowly each year.

It was, millions of years ago, but now it's sliding under Asia and creating the Himalayas.
