A subcontinent is a large landmass, such as India, that is part of a continent but is considered either geographically or politically as an independent entity.[1] It can also be a large landmass that is smaller than the recognized continents, such as Greenland, but is not directly connected.[2] Generally, however, a subcontinent is split from the rest of a continent by something like a mountain range or by tectonic plates. India is considered a subcontinent because it juts out from Asia by the Himalayan mountains. The phrase the Subcontinent, used on its own in English, commonly means the Indian subcontinent i.e. South Asia.
