the Himalayan valleys are very deep but the Indian plateau valleys are Shallow and rift. Himalayas origin of many big rivers and these rivers mainly flow from north to south but the Indian plateau is origin of small rivers.
Himalayas are newly formed but plateau is very old
Himalayas are formed by sedimentary rocks and any plateau is formed by igneous rocks
