IN or ON continent

Woudl you normally say that India is IN or ON the continent of Asia?

I would normally think that it is ON the continent - people being on the continent, driving on the continent etc. But when you are talking about a country it sounds a bit odd to say that France is on Europe or India is on Asia.

What do you think?
