Solution

The peninsular plateau, under the influence of the sea from three sides, has a moderate temperature. Despite such moderating influences, there are great variations in the temperature conditions. Nevertheless, the unifying influence of the monsoon on the Indian subcontinent is quite perceptible.

The seasonal alteration of the wind systems and the associated weather conditions provide a rhythmic cycle of seasons. Even the uncertainties of rain and uneven distribution are very much typical of monsoons.

The Indian landscape, it is animal and plant life, its entire agricultural calendar, and the life of the people, including their festivities, revolve around this phenomenon.

Year after year, the people of India from north to south and from east to west, eagerly await the arrival of the monsoon. These monsoon winds bind the whole country by providing water to set agricultural activities in motion. The river valleys which carry this water also unite as a single river valley unit.
