ssc preparation, important competetion questions, current affairs of india, latest question asked in competetion papers, EVOLUTION OF INDIA The Indian craton was once part of  the Supercontinent of Pangaea .  At that time, it was attached to Madagascar and southern Africa on the south west coast, and Australia along the east coast. During the Jurassic Period, rifting caused Pangaea to break apart into two supercontinents namely,  Gondwana (to the south)  and  Laurasia (to the north).

The current organic event is
