The Indian Peninsular was a part of Gondwana land. Gondwana was a supercontinent that existed around 180 million years ago. It included present-day South America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica. The Indian Peninsular was originally connected to Africa and Antarctica as part of the Gondwana landmass. Over time, due to the movement of tectonic plates, the Indian Peninsular separated from Gondwana and collided with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Himalayan mountain range. This collision resulted in the formation of the Indian subcontinent, which includes India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and parts of Afghanistan and Myanmar. Therefore, option 1 is correct, as the Indian Peninsular was indeed a part of Gondwana land.
