Question

the geographic location has helped India in attaining an important place in the world market explain

Answer 1

HEY YOUR ANSWER IS .............

Ecological and geographical features of India has facilitated the coexistence of different levels of cultures in different regions.

The Northern Region

·  In the northwest, the Bolan, Gomal and Khyber passes allowed other races from central and west Asia, like the Greeks, Huns, Turks and Mughals, to invade India. Passes along the northern mountains linked with central Asia and Tibet, which assisted in the spread of Buddhism into these regions.

·  In the northeast mountains, there are fewer passes, which effectively kept helped flourished two different civilisation with their own unique culture without much interference ultimately creating India and China.

·  Two great perennial river systems, of theIndus and the Ganges (Ganga), arise from them. Each of these systems gave rise to the fertile northern plains on which arose ancient civilisations.

·  The Himalayan ranges are also responsible for forcing the monsoon rains onto the northern plains of the subcontinent from June to September, at the same time also preventing the very cold and dry winds of central Asia from flowing into South Asia. Not only do the monsoon rains add to the fertility of the northern plains, they also provide much needed rains to most of the rest of the subcontinent every year.

·  The Indus Valley Civilisation, which existed around 2500 BC, stands testimony to the high level of urban culture reached by the indigenous population in the north-western portions of the northern fertile plains.

The Southern Region

·  South of the Gangetic plain are highlands which rise to form the Vindhya range cutting across the middle of the subcontinent.

·  This range is not very high, but had served historically as sufficient barrier between the northern and the southern parts of the subcontinent to result in two distinct cultures – the Vedic culture of the north and theDravidian culture of the south. Still, it was not barrier enough to prevent the percolation of the Vedic culture southwards.

·  The Dravidian people of South India are of a different ethnicity than those of the north, and their languages and culture are likewise different.
