India is not a continent. However, you are closer to the truth than you might imagine. India is both name of a subcontinent (the Indian subcontinent) and a the name of a country which covers much of, but not all of this subcontinent. The Indian subcontinent lies in the south of the greater continent of Asia. It is a subcontinent due to a number of facts, some of which are the fact that India lies on its own tectonic plate (Europe on the other hand does not), and that the Subcontinent has many of the geographic features of a larger continent, contained independently in a smaller area. India is a country in the continent of Asia, and lends its name to the Indian subcontinent, which is largely, but by no means totally covered by India.

No. India is a country in the continent of Asia, and lends its name to the Indian subcontinent, which is largely, but by no means totally covered by India.

No, because India isn't a "continent". It's a part of Eurasia.
