  Indian subcontinent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indian subcontinent is a peninsular landmass of the Asian continent occupying the Indian Plate and extending into the Indian Ocean, bordered on the north by the Eurasian Plate.
The region is known as a subcontinent because its geography and geology are distinct from the rest of the continent.
Geographically, the Indian subcontinent is a peninsular region south of the Himalayas and Karakoram mountain ranges and east of the Hindu Kush mountain range and Balochistan region, extending southward into the Indian Ocean between the Arabian Sea (to the southwest) and the Bay of Bengal (to the southeast).

 SOUTH ASIAN HISTORY: India, Ancient, Medieval, Colonization, Philosophy, Culture, indian, art, science
Contrary to the popular perception that Indian civilization has been largely concerned with the affairs of the spirit and "after-life", India's historical record suggests that some of the greatest Indian minds were much more concerned with developing philosophical paradigms that were grounded in reality.
The premise that Indian philosophy is founded solely on mysticism and renunciation emanates from a colonial and orientalist world view that seeks to obfuscate a rich tradition of scientific thought and analysis in India.
Contrary to the view that nationalist sentiments were awoken by the Indian National Congress only when M.K. Gandhi took over its leadership, nationalist feelings in India had been present as early as 1857, and expressions of Indian nationalism manifested themselves in various forms all through the course of British rule.

In this book, Thind provides a survey of significant aspects of Indian history, culture and contributions, and develops a linkage between current and past practices of South Asians living in India and abroad.
Through 648 pages of pictures and text, Thind articulates in English the ancient history of the Indian Sub-Continent from aborigines that were Dravidian and Nagas of the Moenjondro era to the Aryan epoch, Vedic, Brahaminical, Buddhist, Muslim and British periods.
While the source and period of Aryan migration to Indian sub-continent may be controversial, Thind's deduction is as follows: the Aryans poured into India about 3200 BC, whereas the Aborigines' civilization such as that at Moenjodro and Harrapa must have come into existence two or three thousand years before the Aryan migration into India.

In 1857, a rebellion in north India led by mutinous Indian soldiers caused the British Parliament to transfer all political power from the East India Company to the Crown.
In the late 1800s, the first steps were taken toward self-government in British India with the appointment of Indian councilors to advise the British viceroy and the establishment of provincial councils with Indian members; the British subsequently widened participation in legislative councils.

MELBOURNE, Feb 13: Australia skipper Ricky Ponting said his team was capable of conquering the challenges of playing in the Indian sub-continent as the world champions left for a tour of Sri Lanka.
Ponting said the Australians were coming to terms with the physical and psychological barriers presented by the conditions presented by matches in the region, which has proved an unhappy hunting ground in recent years.
"Looking back to the last Indian tour, we played really well on that tour but didn't win it - but we've got a better understanding of how we can play well in those conditions," said Ponting of the epic 2001 series which Australia lost 2-1.
