The individual is divided into two by speciation. There are usually geographic barriers to migration such as oceans, mountain ranges, landmasses, rivers, deserts, or other obstacles that prevent the species from moving.

Divergent animals (not monophyletic) that gain similar features independently due to the need to adapt to similar habitats or niches is known as convergent evolution. The species of southeast Asia and India are different from each other.

Thus, convergent evolution is not responsible for the species divergence between India and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

In India and Southeast Asia, moist and dry deciduous forests grow with a seasonal monsoon climate (four to eight dry months a year). Other than that, India and Southeast Asia have different atmospheres among many regions.

Thus, speciation in India and Southeast Asia is not due to the similar climate between the two regions.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

India was a vast island about 225 million years ago, located off the coast of Australia, separated from the Asian continent by a great ocean (the Tethys Sea). When Pangaea broke apart 200 million years ago, India began to move northward.

Thus, India is not in the process of separating from Asia as it already did years ago.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Once upon a time, India was a continent. Paleogeographers refer to it as Gondwanaland (derived from Gondwana, a wooded region of central India), and it is known to have separated from a previous supercontinent. When the supercontinent broke up, an India-Madagascar tectonic plate began to move out.

Thus, India has separated from Asia a long time ago, leading to speciation between the two regions.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
