Summary P-wave interval velocities between different sections in the Indian sub-continent have been calculated from data published by the India Meteorological Department, New Delhi. The interval velocities indicate the characteristics typical of shield areas. Further, since theories of continental drift and global plate tectonics are generally accepted, the present note suggests that the three structurally different unique features, namely the southern peninsular shield, the Indo-Gangetic basin and the Himalayan region are part of a continuous Gondwanic continental fragment which eventually became welded on to a proto-Eurasia.
