Explanation:
Geography has great influence on various aspects of our life. Geography influences the way we look, the food we eat and the clothes we wear. India shows great diversity; in terms of geographical features. Following are some examples of diversity which resulted because of difference in geographical features.
Jammu and Kashmir is a cold place because of its proximity to the Himalayas. So, people of Jammu and Kashmir are fair-skinned and generally tall. Because of the cold climate, people usually wear warm clothes.
The southern India experiences hot and humid climate. Majority of people in the south India are dark skinned and are usually of medium height. Most of the men in south India wear vesti (lungi) which is comfortable for the hot and humid climate. People eat lots of rice and coconut is used in most of the dishes.
People in West Bengal also experience hot and humid climate. Hence most of the people in the eastern part of India are either brown skinned or dark skinned. They primarily eat rice and fish.
