A place is classed as a subcontinent when it is part of a continent but is considered either geographically or politically as an independent entity or it is smaller than a continent.
India is often called a subcontinent because it is a distinct landmass, not just a country. While it has many features of a continent, it is not as big as one, so is not considered a continent. India was once a continent (or at least a very large island). Due to continental drift,India moved north, joined and became part of continent Asia. But India is a distinct area separated by the Himalayas. Originally it was a separate geologic plate, but has collided and merged with Asia.
Indian subcontinent constitutes SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation)countries that are India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & Maldives. This group of countries are combined together to be called Indian subcontinent as once in the History, they were a part of India.
