The moonsoon season in India acts as a unifying bond. The monsoon provides a great variation to rainfall patterns. However, the monsoon unites the land like no other force because it provides a rhythmic cycle of seasons. The vegetation, animal life, and agricultural activities are all revolving around the effects of the monsoon. As India is still primarily an agricultural nation. The life of the people, their celebration of festivals, and other activities, all are geared to the monsoon. All Indians eagarly await the arrival of the moonsoon every year. The entire Indian subcontinent does not receive rainfall at the same time.
