Indian subcontinent

The Indian subcontinent is a geographic region[?] in South Asia, in which the nations of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan as well as parts of Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and some disputed territory currently controlled by China are located.

The notion of a subcontinent is based on the fact that this region rests on a tectonic plate of its own, separate from the rest of Asia.
