why is monsoon considered as unifying bond
Answers
The monsoon winds bind the entire country by providing water, which is needed to start off agricultural activities. This is the reason the monsoon is considered a unifying bond for the Indian subcontinent. Despite variations in temperatures across India, the monsoons create a sense of unity because they affect the whole country.
The unifying influence of the monsoon on the Indian subcontinent is quite perceptible. The seasonal alteration of the wind systems and the associated weather conditions provide a rhythmic cycle of seasons. Even the uncertainties of rain and uneven distribution are very much typical of the monsoons. The Indian landscape, it’s animal and plants life and the entire agricultural calendar and the life of the people (including their festivities) revolves around this phenomenon. Year after year, people of India from north to south and from east to west, eagerly await the arrival of the monsoon. These monsoon winds bind the whole country by providing water to set the agricultural activities in motion. The river valleys which carry this water also unite as a single river valley unit.
