Yes climate of India is monsoon type.
The south west monsoon winds brings rainfall to the most of parts in India. During summer, the Indian landmass gets heated up creating a low pressure area over north west India. Simultaneously high pressure area is there over south Indian ocean. The high pressure area pushes winds towards African coast. These winds gets near Somalian coast and move towards India.
These winds pulls up moisture from the vast ocean when it hits the southern tip of India. It gets blocked by the Western ghats and as the moist air rises, it condenses and precipitate over that area. That is the reason why Western Ghats receive the most rainfall as the winds contain most of the moisture during this time.
