are there any more sub continents then apart from India.?

Answer 1

A subcontinent is a large part of a continent. There is no agreement on what constitutes a subcontinent. Generally, however, a subcontinent is split from the rest of a continent by something like a mountain range or by tectonic plates. The phrase the Subcontinent, used on its own in English, commonly means the Indian subcontinent in South Asia.
In plate tectonics, a small continental plate connected to a larger continental plate can be called a subcontinent. In this sense, the Indian subcontinent on the India Plate and the Arabian subcontinent on the Arabian Plate are recognized. The latter is not commonly called a subcontinent geographically because of lack of a geographical border and a variety in climate. Europe is just a peninsula since it is on the Eurasian Plate.
Geographically, Europe is often described as a subcontinent of Eurasia, a vast landmass in which Europe and Asia are delimited by mountain ranges and inland seas. Similarly, the smallest continent Australia (subcontinent in Australasia) and the largest island Greenland are sometimes called subcontinents.
North America and South America are sometimes considered two subcontinents of America, because they are connected by an isthmus. Africa and Eurasia are sometimes considered to form the continent of Africa-Eurasia for the same reason. However, the Americas and Africa-Eurasia are usually called supercontinents, composed of continents.

Answer 2

Probably, but India is the most prominent and the one that is a single nation. The Arabian peninsula with Saudi Arabia and all the weird little oil-rich states could be considered another sub-continent, as could Alaska.

Answer 3

That is because of the "repressed" culture that the grown-ups impose on the younger generation. It has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with "lack of passion" or "lack of talent." The problem is that deep within the Indian conscience, there is the strict, paralyzing, and conservative mindset that refuses to think outside the box. Parents encourage their sons to be engineers and IT experts while they encourage their daughters to pursue medical ambitions. The only "outlet" the younger generation has is Bollywood movies, cricket, and eating-out. Given this scenario, the younger generation has no other options other than "take the road that is traveled before." But the GOOD NEWS is that the younger generation IS fighting the tradition and entering fields their parents would not approve. Take for example India's proudest example today, Narain Karthikeyan. He is India's FIRST Formula One driver. He is a hero in India; though only recognized by F1 fans! It will be another 20 or so years before India can fully establish itself into other fields of sporting. Only time will tell but the revolution has begun.
