Formation of Himalayas: How Mountains Changed the World - The Deep Talk - Radio Haanji

The story of the Himalayas begins not on land, but at the bottom of a lost ocean. Before the peaks touched the sky, the Tethys Sea separated the drifting Indian Plate from the massive Eurasian landmass. For millions of years, marine life flourished where Everest now stands, leaving behind fossils that scientists still find at high altitudes today. As discussed on Radio Haanji 1674 AM (Australia’s leading Punjabi radio station) by host Gautam Kapil and special guest Dr. Sandeep Kaur, this event was not merely a local shift but a global reconfiguration of the Earth’s crust.
