When did Buddhism start in india?
In the year 534 BCE, a young Indian prince named Siddhartha Gautama (age 29) was deeply troubled about the fact that so many people suffer. So he left his wife and child and renounced his throne to find out the answer to why there was suffering. Now it should be noted when Buddhists speak of suffering this includes dissatisfaction (unhappiness) with the way things are. Siddhartha went to study with various gurus to try to find the answer to his question. Theses gurus had him do various types of yoga and meditation to try to help him with his quest. None of them seem to have an answer to his question though.
Siddhartha left these various gurus and joined in with a group of ascetics. Asceticism is a path in which you deprive the body in order to conquer and control the mind. He practiced asceticism fiercely, almost to the point of death. At that point he realized that giving in to pleasure, as he did when he was a prince, nor trying to punish the body, was the proper path to finding the answer. So he sat down and meditated under a pi-pal tree. During this meditation he discovered the root of all suffering and the path to how to overcome suffering and became enlightened.
After his enlightenment he meets up with his ascetic friends, who by now were critical of him for leaving the path of asceticism. But he explains to them what he had discovered and they were instantly converted. From there The Buddha taught for 45 years until his death at 85 converting many to his teachings and now Buddhism is the 4th largest religion in the world.

How do you make a working model on formation of Himalayas?
Mix a paste of flour and water that is a thick liquid. You will be able to tell if it's too thick or too thin by the way it behaves when to begin to build your structure. You can add more water or more flour as needed.
Start by taking various size sheets of paper, dipping them in the paste mixture and crumpling them loosely into various size balls. These will be the core structure of the mountains. Arrange them on the cardboard base as the mountains will be arranged. Build on these structures with more crumpled paper until you're satisfied with the basic shape of the mountains. Then, tear the remaining paper into strips in varying widths. Dip them in the paste and lay them over the base structures, molding them as you go with the ridges and crags of the mountains. Keep doing this until you are satisfied that the mountains look like your vision.
Let the structure dry. Depending how wet it is, this may take a couple of days so plan ahead.
When it is sufficiently dry, paint the whole project; black, grey, white, and anything else that your artistic eye desires; dark brown or green for the foreground. Allow that to dry and you should be done.
Project BIf you are more artistic, you might try a diorama style. This is a faster and will be more stable when you are done. You will need a good supply of corrugated cardboard, a box cutter or strong scissors, glue (white glue is fine), poster paint and brushes (Or you could cut colored paper into the same shapes as the cardboard pieces and glue them to the pieces of cardboard instead of painting them. You would have to do this as you built your mountains instead of painting it when done.) Having a picture as a guide would be helpful.Make a base and background by cutting one of the boxes down to about two-three inches tall and prop it upright. Then cut cardboard pieces into the shapes of the mountains, building layers that grow slightly smaller as you go; cut enough irregular pieces to show the ridges and crags, perhaps ending in the front with some small trees or bushes for the bottom of the foreground.
If you have not used colored paper as you went, all you have to do now is paint it.
How do people use the Himalayas?

The plateau of Tibet, the Tian Shan mountains, and the Himalayas create significant geographical barriers that complicate overland trade due to harsh terrain, altitude, and extreme weather conditions. These obstacles can make overland routes longer, more dangerous, and less reliable compared to sea routes. Additionally, maritime trade allows for the transport of larger quantities of goods at lower costs, making it more efficient and appealing for merchants. Consequently, traders may prefer sea trade to bypass the challenges posed by these formidable mountain ranges.

What else resulted from the collision of those plates for Himalayas?
Lifted by the collision of the Indian tectonic plate with the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan range runs northwest to southeast in a 2,400-kilometre (1,500 mi)-long arc. The range varies in width from 400 kilometres (250 mi) in the west to 150 kilometres (93 mi) in the east. Besides the Greater Himalayas, there are several parallel lower ranges. The southernmost, along the northern edge of the Indian plains and reaching 1000 m in altitude, is the Sivalik Hills. Further north is a higher range, reaching 2000-3000 m, known as the Lower Himalayan Range.
Himalayas is not a small region or a small territory- it is huge mountain range which is home to countless tribes, town and cities. Lower Himalayas which is upto aprox height of 2000m to 3000m has everything like horticulture, agriculture and many types of fruits.
Above 3000m starts less oxygen region thus potent grassy meadows which are home to shepherds for high quality of grass and limited trees. Usually tree line ends up at approx 3800m and after that grass and tree vegetation is very less.
Why are the Himalayas getting higher every year?
The Himalayas, including Mount Everest, were formed by the Indian subcontinent colliding with Asia, essentially causing the land to form. India is still moving north, pressing into the rest of Asia and continuing to force the land upward.
