This is if you read Hindu Scriptures , which suggests the great Antiquity . More than 5 Million Years Ago , India was once an Island , In Hindu Scriptures this Island is referred to JAMBUDWIPA .( An Island of Jambu Trees )
You would be surprised , you can still find Sea Shells & fish fossils in the Himalayas that rose from the bottom of Indian Ocean .
Maybe a Million years ago , Great Hindu Rishi Kashyapa drained a Valley filled with Sea Water , this place was then referred to as Kashyapa Mira ( Modern Kashmir ) once a great Seat Of Hindu Learning , Sharada Pith ( before Hindu Holocaust ) .

Sri Lankan people , even todate , still refer to India with its Ancient Name : DambaDwipa ( a varient of Jambudwipa )
