∙ 11y agoThe mountains were pushed up (and continue to be pushed upward) by the collision of the subcontinent of India with Asia.
Between 70 and 50 million years ago, the moving Indo-Australian plate closed the Tethys Sea and pushed India northward into the Eurasian plate. The Indo-Australian plate is fracturing into Indian and Australian plates west of Sumatra.
