Question

"There is a great deal of regional diversity in India". Explain.

Answer 1

There is a great deal of regional diversity in India, which can be explained in the following points:

1. It has the Great Himalayan Range in the north, coastal plains in the south and a desert in the west. These regional differences affect the daily lives of the people.

2. Geographic conditions determine the food pattern, clothing pattern, culture and economic activities of a region.

For example, people living in the Himalayan region will wear warm clothes, local plants and animals will form the daily diet and wool is their main source of earning.

On the other hand, people living in the desert will wear cool clothes, grow crops like bajra and camels are their main source of income.

Similarly, the main source of income in the coastal plains is fishing.

Thus, each state and region has a different lifestyle and all these contribute to the diversity of the country India.
