The Indian Subcontinent is a peninsular region in south-central Asia, delineated by the Himalayas in the north, the Hindu Kush in the west and the Arakanese in the east, and and which extends southward into the Indian Ocean with the Arabian Sea to the southwest and the Bay of Bengal to the southeast. With all seven countries included, the area covers about 4.4 million km² (1.7 million mi²), which is 10% of the Asian continent or 2.4% of the world's land surface area.
Most of this region rests on a distinct tectonic plate, the Indian Plate (the northerly portion of the Indo-Australian Plate), and is isolated from the rest of Asia by mountain barriers. It was once a small continent before colliding with the Eurasian Plate about 50-55 million years ago and giving birth to the Himalayan range and the Tibetan plateau. In addition, it is also home to a variety of geographical features, such as glaciers, rainforests, valleys, deserts, and grasslands.
The following seven countries are included in the Indian Subcontinent:-

It seems a prominent idea to unite these countries to form a larger countries calling it United States of Indian Subcontinent. Though the region is habitat of vast people, but they share the same ethnicity.
The state will have a single currency and it will benefit the majority of people which are suffering from poverty, illiteracy, poor health facilities.
The very state will create a huge market where any MNC or developed economy would like to invest without any fear.
The problem of terrorism may also be encountered by providing education and fair opportunity for jobs.
