If Europe is classified as it's own separate continent, India should be too.

Might makes right, we are a continent because we chose to be one, you are not because you were told to.

No, because it shares many important elements that make up the concept of a 'continent'. India has similar flora and fauna as the rest of Asia, it shares a history with the rest of Asia, and there's no geographic uniqueness unless you look at the Earth's crust.
Europe has many unique qualities that separate it from Asia. Trying to claim that Portugal and China are on the same continent is nonsensical. But China and Turkey being on the same continent makes perfect sense when you think about things like the Silk Road.

So it's funny that they contradict themselves, it breaks logic. Also if people created name to something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Lions weren't creted by humans because word lion was created by humans o aglo. Do you understand?

This would be retarded as Anatolia and Levant are THE Asia.

Europe being a separate continent goes back to the Greeks, and in general the ancient view of the world.
I don't know why autists try to come up with dumb definitions, which always fail to meet a satisfactory answer.
Simple fact is Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania and Antartica are continents due to traditional reasonings.

And it proves that Europe and Asia are different continents scientifically even before Europeans defined it. You step Asians only scattered around Asia (including China), but none of them could reach at European continent.

Indo-Europeans were on the steppe first, and they did arrive to Europe, obviously. But even later nomadic steppe peoples arrived to Europe, there's the Huns, the Hungarians, the Turks, the Pechenegs, the Kalmuks, etc.

Buddhism is a religion that was created by an Indian prince that wanted to challenge Hinduism and the norms of Indian society. To be a buddhist you had to agree that specific stuff of Hinduism are actually true, like reencarnation, which the Japanese didnt use to believe before Buddhism. Also eating beef became illegal in Japan for centuries. Thats pretty cucked imo

Why isn't MENA one continent then? There's cultural and trade continuity from early on.
Under roman empire, persian empire, egyptian-levant, ummayads, etc.

Because it was never thought to be one continent? Greeks lived both on Europe, the Balkans, and Asia, Anatolia, it wasn't about culture.
Did Indians, historically, ever think that India was a separate contient from Asia?

Not like Europe, but it was thought to be part of the arab-muslim world. Many historic leaders, and even current era leaders like gamal nasser, saddam and gadaffi wanted it to be one civilizational & political unit due to historic memory.
>Did Indians, historically, ever think that India was a separate continent from Asia?
Continent is a modern term, mainland India was the "known world" for people living in it. Seperated on the north by a mountain range, to south by sea.
They was internally fragmented kingdoms and dynasties like Europe, that cared more for local identity like tribe, caste/jati, village or kingdoms rather than a civilizational one. But like Europe there was a strong tribalism with what lied outside the vedic cultural sphere. i.e the persians, chinese and central asians.

Yeah, Europeans have traditionally regarded Europe, Asia, and Africa as three distinct continents of equal standing. If you've seen Ptolemy's map, you'd notice that, but thirdies who swallow modern internet information won't realize it.
