Detailed Solution

The Peninsular Plateau division of India has the oldest landmass.
 Old crystalline, igneous, and metamorphic rocks make up this tableland. It is believed to have originated as a result of Gondwana land sliding. The Plateau is made up of rounded hills and broad, shallow valleys. Minerals and precious stones are abundant on this Plateau. Numerous lowland kings, notably those of the Mauryan and Gupta empires, engaged in conflict over it due to its mineral wealth.
