Question

3. Why did hill stations become important during the colonial period?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The British associated hot weather with the epidemics, such as Malaria and cholera. Thus, the cool and temperate climate of the Indian hills protected the army from these diseases. Hill stations were developed as sanitariums; i.e., places where soldiers

could be sent for rest and recovery from illnesses.
