What are the advantage and the disadvantage of the monsoon ? How did it affect Nehru's life in jail ?
Answers
It rained very heavily in Dehra Dun because of its geographic position. It was because of this reason the prisoners were not allowed to come out of their prisons. The prisoners sitting inside the prison had to live a very hard life during the rainy season. Many reptiles and snakes came out and haunted the prisoners. Nehru felt very suffocated during the monsoon as he was not allowed to come out of his prison and feel the beauty of nature.

Nehru's life in jail:
Nehru felt suffocated in jail because he was not allowed to leave his cell and enjoy the scenic beauty of nature during the rain. Due to its location and geography, Dehradun receives a high rainfall which causes it to be very humid and living in the humid dungeons or cell proved to be very irritating and suffocating.
Various insects and venomous reptiles came out during the rainy season in the cells of jail which Nehru found difficult to live like.
