Between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, there is a convergent (AKA Collision) boundary taking place in most areas. The pressure is so great from both plates pushing together equally, that no subduction takes place; (which also means hardly any volcanoes) only upward folding. The upward folding is what has caused the massive mountain range known around the world as the Himalayas.
