Monsoon winds are reversed because of effect of rotation of the earth...they are deflected towards right in northern hemisphere and left in southern hemisphere
other effects like change of seasons and shifting of pressure belts also play an important role..
hope it helps

Monsoon is a tropical phenomenon.
Indian subcontinent, lies northwards of the equator up to the Himalayas and Hindukush, primarily in the tropical zone of the Northern Hemisphere . Weather pattern involves winds blowing from the
south-west direction (known as South-West Monsoon) from the Indian Ocean onto the Indian landmass during the months of June through September.
These are generally rain-bearing winds,blowing from sea to land, and bring rains to most parts of the subcontinent. They split into two branches, the Arabian Sea
Branch and the Bay of Bengal Branch near the southernmost end of the Indian Peninsula . They are eagerly awaited in most parts of India for their agricultural and economic importance. Subsequently later in the year, around October, these winds reverse direction and
start blowing from a north-easterly
direction. Given their land to sea flow,
from subcontinent onto the Indian Ocean,the system with less moisture brings rain to only limited parts of India like Kerala ,Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu . This is known as the North-East Monsoon.
However, this rain is responsible for the rice bowls of South India . This mechanism completes the annual Monsoon cycle of the Indian subcontinent.
