As our vedas describes India:- The country that lies north of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains is called Bharatam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata. My motherland, My beautiful home, My Karmbhoomi. Nothing can ever be beautiful than you.
Yea but there are people other than descendants of Bharata & Vedic is not the only culture that's here. It's a very diverse country. Not a homogeneous Vedic society.
Yes, There are so Many culture Vedic and non Vedic but the Vedas are the earliest to describe the extent of bharat, giving a sense of unique socio-religious demographics different from cultures around it. This binds vast majority of cultures in this subcontinent with Hinduism or its cultural continuum. @@aashish9141
@@aashish9141 He's not talking about it in terms of Ancient Vedic Culture. What he means is by blood and as modern Indians, we are one people. Everyone in the subcontinent is more closely related to each other than to those outside the subcontinent. Heck, a Kashmiri is genetically closer to a Tamil or an Assamese (refer Human Genome Diversity Project, HGDP) than they are to a Pashtun right next door. People in the subcontinent have been moving around and mixing with each other and the mountains to the north and west act as natural barriers to limit outside influence in the mixing. To end, that sentence in the Vedas is a geographical description, not religious. It goes; "Uttaram yat samudrasya, Himadreschaiva dakshinam, varsham tad Bharatam nama Bharati yatra santatih" Meaning exactly what he said, North of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains, there lies a country called Bharatam whose people are called Bharatis.

I am very grateful for this presentation. India has always represented for me the most tolerant, welcoming, geologically panoramic and demographically exuberant societies in the world. Its democracy has not remained as independent under the current leadership, but I hope things will return to full tolerance of religion and freedom of expression. We need India as a balance to five other titans-Russia, America, China, Brazil and Indonesia. Of these six enormous powers, India is probably the least selfish, and most naturally intellectually gifted. I happily say that as a American. If it's birth rate could stabilize at 2.1, and environmental endowment be protected, India will become the global model for a pluralistic, prosperous and peace-loving future!
We very well know what Americans news media write about us. No need to lecture us on democracy when you have just arrested Trump who is the face of president from main opposition. Have you got any shame teaching us about freedom of speech and expressions, you see what your news media feed you and just because don't a damn about your interest your media feeds you bullshit.
Dont buy into Western media myth, this is infact the most democratic India has ever been. Muslims on the ground will tell you that they are having the best economic time of their lives but leftists will make you believe otherwise.
To be honest, democracy, human rights, intolerance and hate crimes against Non Christians, African Americans, Asians, Hispanic, Caribbeans, Indians and propaganda media in USA under Joe Biden Government and previously under Bush and Obama Governments were at its peak. USA shouldn't teach democracy to World Biggest Democracy-India.
As i know you watch international news but these international new very much bias against india and india independent democracy it true it has religious issue even before have congress or bjp even other political parties do religious politics for there political and vote gaim as religious very much less and opposition have medicore and weak leader and about Only two state like up and bihar need that not every state because sikkim like facing decrease population like japan
India suffered thousand of years of destruction and division by Muslim and British compare to China suffered only century of humiliation. 5000 years of continuous civilization still survived side by side as old Delhi and New Delhi. India itself is the world complete with diverse cultures and geography. Visiting India could be life altering experience.
A lovely simple way to show rich diverse Indian geography. Very well done indeed. Thank you. It is truly amazing that freshwater rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery were extolled as sacred, to be immensely revered, 100s and 100s of decades ago, much before invaders, 'conquerors' and annexing this land to an 'Empire' reached the Indian peninsula.
As you did India, it was quite interestin. Now please do its neighboring countries Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Srilanka too. This will complete the geography of the whole Indian subcontinent.
It would be explainable using this same video. Pakistan really is the western portion of the Indian Subcontinent, with the same Thar Desert, Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayas and even the coastal plains to the south. Coastal Sindh = Coastal Gujarat Punjab (Pak) = Punjab+Haryana (Ind) Ajk, Eastern KPK like Swat and Dir= J&K, Himachal, Uttarakhand Gilgit, Astore, Baltistan, Chitral = Ladakh, Kargil, Lahaul & Spiti Thar in Sindh and Punjab = Thar in Rajasthan The only difference is Pakistan has an extra mountain range to the west (the Suleiman and the Hindu Kush), whose function is the same as the Arakan in Northeast India, which separates the far west and far east of the subcontinent from the Middle East and South East Asia respectively.
The only one I would say has a bit of its own geography is Sri Lanka. Bangladesh is just part of the Gangetic Plains and Nepal part of the Himalayas that feed the Ganga.
This video, combined with that background music, brought me back to my great memories from the time i spent in India some years ago :) oh the nostalgia. Magical country. Thank you
Gondwana, Himalaya, Nilgiri hills, Eastern Ghats, Western Ghats, Deccan plateau, Narmada river, Ganga river, Alaknanda River, Yamuna River etc are all beautiful and holy names. I like them. And there are many more.
GREAT INFORMATION AND GOOD VIDEO...SINCE LAST THREE YEARS I AM TRAVELLING IN INDIA BY ROAD WITH WIFE...I HAVE TRAVELLEDLED VERTICAL HORIZONTAL ,COASTAL INDIA AND IN MANY STATES OF INDIA...GREAT TO KNOW FROM YOU..PRAVIN SHRISNDER - INDIA
Honestly, that was a great introductory video to the geography of India - the best I've seen. I will definitely watch more of your videos and recommend them to others.
India is better for explained in atupid Bollywood movies from the 90s. If gou want to feel good - then hust accept that India was formed in 1947. Before that it was England. Before thay many independent nations .
This felt like a revision to 10th grade geography, tbh almost all of us have studied about our country’s geography, along with continents like Africa , Europe and extensively about Australia and New Zealand as well
What a remarkable country full of diversity and past civilized greatness set in stone. It's hard to grasp the size of the population when you consider it's a democracy. Worth watching well done
05:15 ff ... I was born and brought up in ML-05 Weiloi Mawsynram Constituency, Shillong City. The heaviest RAIN, clouds, fog are 😪😭 super disturbing. during winter, the thick ice is a nuisance. what a suffering but No other choice.
Western ghats are blessing in Monsoon, keeping the rains out of the deccan region. Mumbai region exceeds 2,500-3000mm annual while deccan cities like pune Bangalore satara just 500-800mm.
Just 2 Hindu countries (India and Nepal) control more than 50 of the 100 highest mountains in the world. And Nepal has like 7 of the highest of the worldwide top 10. Nepal is to India like Austria is to Germany. It’s little mountainous brother.
Nice disclaimer, not sure if it will placate the CCP😂 Very interesting, the entirety of my knowledge of India pretty much comes from Shantaram. My wife and I hope to visit in a few years time
Due to its geography, as you can see, India was protected for centuries by Himalayan from any Invaders. India has always been attacked from West side, just like Russia was attacked from West side. Only 2 time India was attacked from East was in WW2 and Indo China war in 1962, when Japan's general Mutaguchi attacked, but he was repelled back. India's Himalayan States, Himachal Pradesh and ladakh are best for mountain driving but they are not for beginners. You may need 4*4 SUV in winters. So also the eastern states. Rest of India is drivable by sedan although small mountains are everywhere.
I wish all Indians knew how diverse our country is. People often hailing from the North East region are discriminated by the mainlanders making them feel like outsiders.
So are south indians. Mainlanders think they are the india and they think any community problems they face in northern indian is same as souht and northeat. Plus we need more northeast people come to south and south people go to north east, but language is the issue that pose obstacle. We need more exchange opportunities in education sector. ❤

Very amazing facts , the best part what I liked about your explanation was comparison of Indian places with worlds other place for eg : Us city delaware and then the rainfall comparison with European zone Perfect factual explanation 🙌👏🏻🙌
I hope Indian People and Government work together to Develop India into a First World Country, there is so much natural geographical beauty all over India, they can really make this Country a traveler's dreamland. They need to manage Population Size, Borders, and Public Infrastructure. India has potential, they are just bogged down by corruption, bureaucracy, and a bit of chaos in densely populated areas.
@@sumittamang4579 Lmao nope. People climb Kanchenjunga from Indian side. There's a reason nobody says Everest is in China, because you can only climb from Nepal. For this same reason, Kanchenjunga is India first and shares a border with Nepal.
Nope, kanchenjunga is climbed from Nepal's side. It has been so for a while. Indian govt doesn't allow the indian route due to it being a holy mountain. @@xijinpig8982
Surprised not to mension about river cauvery which makes rice bowl of South India specialy state of tamilnadu and grand dam in kallanai constructed 2500 years back.
Great video as always! Correct me if i'm wrong, I think there are 14 not 13 8000 and Kanchenjunga has been climbed. The tallest unclimbed is Gangkhar Puensum
It has been climbed until a few meters short of the summit. Of course we don't know if every climber respects this rule but theoretically it is still in place
India is a world within. That is why this region is called Indian subcontinent. The ocean beneath is the Indian ocean which is a warmer ocean isolated from the arctic. It is the reason for great monsoon and the Himalayas don't let monsoon pass through to Tibet. The monsoon cools down and feeds the rivers. It is naturally protected by the Himalayas and the ocean. But our enemy states are carved out of us😪 now we have threat within natural borders.
That money, treasure, stone-carved idols and natural resources that the British took away is not the main atrocity committed by them. The tens of millions of Indian people that perished due to British rule and the hundreds of millions of Indians impoverished by the British rule also does not constitute the main atrocity committed by the British on India. The main atrocity committed by the British upon India is the Cultural Subversion of India and the Divide and Rule policy of the British. This directly attacked and attempted to uproot (almost succeeded) the cultural and civilizational roots and ethos of the Indian civilization. The great tragedy is that this most oppressive and damaging aspect of British colonial rule of India is something we Indians are still fighting even today, and the British never stopped committing this crime. They do it even today, and they have co-opted even USA to become their accomplice in this crime against Indian civilization. I and most Indians are willing to forgive and forget ALL of this, not seeking revenge, on the condition that UK and USA at least stop committing this crime today. But they are not stopping. I read how the UK and US media covered the news of the _Pran Prathishtha_ of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple three weeks ago. I read daily how the UK funds a Hybrid War against India and calls the funds it sends to its agents in India (funds to wage this war) as "British Aid to India." I read daily how UK, USA, Canada and even Australia give refuge to terrorists that aim to balkanize India. *The West is choosing to make India its enemy. One day, they will regret their actions, not because of some "revenge" that India will extract, no. But they will regret that they put to sleep the land of Gandhi and awoke the land of Kautilya.*
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, bhutan, Tibet, Afghanistan and Srilanka are all parts of Ancient India. The Culture and bloodlines are same, Artificial boundaries exist due to historical situations. I believe the boundaries will change, The Himalayan Region must first integrate themselves with India so as to boost the collective Growth and Culture and also the defences
why don't you mention whole world is part of Ancient india😂 what will you achieve bro by this kinds of thought and behaviour to other neighbours is to be only your end 🙏shamed on your life.. boarders are only the line bro feel this universe is your own home we have to save this don't divide it and don't break it..
Tibet is a separate culture bro. Yes it has a lot of influences from India but it definitely stands on its own. For Afghanistan only the southern portions were considered a part of greater india. The western and Central parts were persian and the remaining areas were turkic.
Tibetan language script origin is heavily influenced by Sanskrit, prakrit and pali language. Himalaya name itself is from our ancient Vedas. So, yes the were some changes only after fall of Maurya empire and buddhism from Indian subcontinent. That being said India was much greater than today on geographical maps, when there was no other religion.
great video thanks. I need to visit.. 27 years living and travellling in 42 countries, and I've not seen teh Himalayas yet! well, maybe some foothills.. but India is calling me!
Indian subcontinent is the geographical region that is one of the most suitable places for human civilization. It has no extremes… Moderate winds, moderate rainfall, moderate winter, moderate summer.
No We have extremes too. In winter ladakh hits upto -60⁰ C and in summer rajasthan hits 45⁰C and in monsoon meghalaya receives highest rainfall in the world.
I retired at 60, and set off to see as much of the world as I could afford. I made three visits to India, and absolutely adore it. I'm too old now, but I so wish I had seen more.

The only difference is Pakistan has an extra mountain range to the west (the Suleiman and the Hindu Kush), whose function is the same as the Arakan in Northeast India, which separates the far west and far east of the subcontinent from the Middle East and South East Asia respectively.
The only one I would say has a bit of its own geography is Sri Lanka. Bangladesh is just part of the Gangetic Plains and Nepal part of the Himalayas that feed the Ganga.
Thank you so much for your sharing Indian Geography It inspire to all after retirement
India is a world of its own 🇮🇳
This video, combined with that background music, brought me back to my great memories from the time i spent in India some years ago :) oh the nostalgia. Magical country. Thank you
Gondwana, Himalaya, Nilgiri hills, Eastern Ghats, Western Ghats, Deccan plateau, Narmada river, Ganga river, Alaknanda River, Yamuna River etc are all beautiful and holy names. I like them. And there are many more.
GREAT INFORMATION AND GOOD VIDEO...SINCE LAST THREE YEARS I AM TRAVELLING IN INDIA BY ROAD WITH WIFE...I HAVE TRAVELLEDLED VERTICAL HORIZONTAL ,COASTAL INDIA AND IN MANY STATES OF INDIA...GREAT TO KNOW FROM YOU..PRAVIN SHRISNDER - INDIA
@@pravinshrisunder5094 stop screaming bro
Honestly, that was a great introductory video to the geography of India - the best I've seen. I will definitely watch more of your videos and recommend them to others.
Agreed. What RUclips is made for.
So... Nicely explained India ❤❤
Thanks for that beautiful and informative video 😊😊😊
India is better for explained in atupid Bollywood movies from the 90s. If gou want to feel good - then hust accept that India was formed in 1947. Before that it was England. Before thay many independent nations .
Anyone Indian here!!!!
Yes

This felt like a revision to 10th grade geography, tbh almost all of us have studied about our country’s geography, along with continents like Africa , Europe and extensively about Australia and New Zealand as well
That was fascinating and informative and just the right length. The islands sound quite fascinating. Love to visit one day.
The islands have nothing now. The government is going to turn some island into resorts and that will take at least 3-4 years so you better wait
India is a diamond shaped region!! And each side you see geographical diamonds! Rich, rich, rich!
Excellent video! Loved the details and how things were explained!
What a remarkable country full of diversity and past civilized greatness set in stone. It's hard to grasp the size of the population when you consider it's a democracy. Worth watching well done
05:15 ff ... I was born and brought up in ML-05 Weiloi Mawsynram Constituency, Shillong City. The heaviest RAIN, clouds, fog are 😪😭 super disturbing. during winter, the thick ice is a nuisance. what a suffering but No other choice.
Great geographic summary for those with no previous knowledge of the area, like me. Top Stuff.
Western ghats are blessing in Monsoon, keeping the rains out of the deccan region. Mumbai region exceeds 2,500-3000mm annual while deccan cities like pune Bangalore satara just 500-800mm.
without western ghats might had amazon like forest 😁😁😁
Just 2 Hindu countries (India and Nepal) control more than 50 of the 100 highest mountains in the world. And Nepal has like 7 of the highest of the worldwide top 10. Nepal is to India like Austria is to Germany. It’s little mountainous brother.
Lovely video. India is so amazing. You could possibly make a video of each states geography, fauna and flora.
this is lovely.. incredible INDIA !!
Nice disclaimer, not sure if it will placate the CCP😂
Very interesting, the entirety of my knowledge of India pretty much comes from Shantaram. My wife and I hope to visit in a few years time
Due to its geography, as you can see, India was protected for centuries by Himalayan from any Invaders. India has always been attacked from West side, just like Russia was attacked from West side. Only 2 time India was attacked from East was in WW2 and Indo China war in 1962, when Japan's general Mutaguchi attacked, but he was repelled back.
India's Himalayan States, Himachal Pradesh and ladakh are best for mountain driving but they are not for beginners. You may need 4*4 SUV in winters. So also the eastern states.
Rest of India is drivable by sedan although small mountains are everywhere.
We need more videos on INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 भारत
The Only Country In The World With An Ocean Named After It 🇮🇳❤
Much high praise for the disclaimer
I like the Disclaimer on Maps of India...first to see on youtube video!
What a great video! Thanks for this.
Its actually just mediocre.
Indian here. I really liked the idea of giving a disclaimer about borders. Everyone else uses the wrong(yep, straight up wrong) maps.
I wish all Indians knew how diverse our country is. People often hailing from the North East region are discriminated by the mainlanders making them feel like outsiders.
Truee
So are south indians. Mainlanders think they are the india and they think any community problems they face in northern indian is same as souht and northeat. Plus we need more northeast people come to south and south people go to north east, but language is the issue that pose obstacle. We need more exchange opportunities in education sector. ❤
Despite humorous innocent mispronunciations, this is a well made video. Keep it up.
Lovely , Reliable & peaceful South India.
F**k regionalism. Bharatam is supreme. India is greater than the sum of its parts.
There's only one India.
👏👏 Great Video capturing the vast geography of my country.
Im from maharashtra and the biggest and holiest river in maharashtra is godavari is also called has southern ganga or dakshin ganga
Thank for the informative video content 🙏 ❤ luv from ind
I loved Indian culture. That country calls me always. I hope to get the chance to know that beautiful land.
9:57 Goa isn't a city
Recently Modi went to Lakshadweep and people started to go to Lakshadweep more
You seriously had brain damage
Not started yet. You need to get permission.
Good.
No wonder there's poop everywhere in Lakshadweep now
Wonderful! The graphics are great and so is the content.
India has a good geography
Hats off to you sir...using the correct terms while showing our border... appreciate your knowledge 🇮🇳🇮🇳
River give life to worlds oldest Civilization, that's why they are sacred ...
A very well made video!

India should have a permanent seat in UN Security council. European Union should replace Uk and France.
Why?
@@TheBakuganmaster99why not ?
Yes UN has seen this comment and decided to take the historical step. They have finally been convinced by this one comment! 👏
Uk isn't even in Europe union what the fuck are you talking about 😂
@@Badson-r7c the UK is irrelevant , European Union would represent most of Europe. the EU has more influence than the UK by itself.
I have come across your channel today by chance and I find it very informative. Looking forward for more and more interesting vedios.
Wonderfull video ❤.
There are actually 6 geographical features of India. 5 of them are covered in this video (Himalayas, northern plains, Deccan plateau, the desert and islands). The 6th feature is the costal plains.
Right, I tried to cover the coastal plains in the Deccan section
Very amazing facts , the best part what I liked about your explanation was comparison of Indian places with worlds other place for eg : Us city delaware and then the rainfall comparison with European zone
Perfect factual explanation 🙌👏🏻🙌
You forgot the Sunderban delta and floating islands. Would be nice if you could include the North East as well..
I think he skipped it because they lie in Bangladesh
@@thedirtmaster4568
Part of it is also in Bengal, and the floating islands are in Manipur.
I’m really impressed with your videos! Thanks for the fantastic educational content! 😍📚
Very nicely made video.. excellent work
I hope Indian People and Government work together to Develop India into a First World Country, there is so much natural geographical beauty all over India, they can really make this Country a traveler's dreamland. They need to manage Population Size, Borders, and Public Infrastructure. India has potential, they are just bogged down by corruption, bureaucracy, and a bit of chaos in densely populated areas.
Here in India, 'J' is not pronounced as 'Yu'
It's not KANCHAN-YUNG-GA
It's simply Kanchan-jung-ga... The J is pronounced as the J in jocker
And it lies in Nepal
@@sumittamang4579
Lmao nope. People climb Kanchenjunga from Indian side. There's a reason nobody says Everest is in China, because you can only climb from Nepal. For this same reason, Kanchenjunga is India first and shares a border with Nepal.
@@xijinpig8982 yes it shares the border half of it in Nepal's side half in Indian side so the location should be both india and nepal
@@sumittamang4579
Again you can only climb it from Indian side.
Nope, kanchenjunga is climbed from Nepal's side. It has been so for a while. Indian govt doesn't allow the indian route due to it being a holy mountain. @@xijinpig8982
dayumm man thats so informatic. thanks a lot brother love from Nepal or Nepol as you guys say.
Wow beautiful place
Yes it is, come and 🙈
This is one place I would not get enough of.

Surprised not to mension about river cauvery which makes rice bowl of South India specialy state of tamilnadu and grand dam in kallanai constructed 2500 years back.
So beautifull landscape, nice video and helpful. Thanks for your sharing
Whenever I see the map, I feel astonished by the fact that how beautiful is my nations'' shape.
I would love to visit India someday. Love to see the amazing people of diverse background and all the variety of amazing food and culture :) ❤❤
Amazing video!
Thanks all of them for good vibes friends ❤ from my heart INDIA
Great video as always!
Correct me if i'm wrong, I think there are 14 not 13 8000 and Kanchenjunga has been climbed. The tallest unclimbed is Gangkhar Puensum
It has been climbed until a few meters short of the summit. Of course we don't know if every climber respects this rule but theoretically it is still in place
I'm a geography nut. I heartily enjoyed this video.
Wow beautiful place 🎉🎉🎉
Fun fact - if you piled all the filth from the streets of Bombay, Madras, Calcutta & Delhi it would be higher than Everest.
will you do geography of Indonesia?
India is a world within. That is why this region is called Indian subcontinent. The ocean beneath is the Indian ocean which is a warmer ocean isolated from the arctic. It is the reason for great monsoon and the Himalayas don't let monsoon pass through to Tibet. The monsoon cools down and feeds the rivers. It is naturally protected by the Himalayas and the ocean. But our enemy states are carved out of us😪 now we have threat within natural borders.
$45 Trillion was taken from India by Britain over 200 years of rule
That money, treasure, stone-carved idols and natural resources that the British took away is not the main atrocity committed by them. The tens of millions of Indian people that perished due to British rule and the hundreds of millions of Indians impoverished by the British rule also does not constitute the main atrocity committed by the British on India.
The main atrocity committed by the British upon India is the Cultural Subversion of India and the Divide and Rule policy of the British. This directly attacked and attempted to uproot (almost succeeded) the cultural and civilizational roots and ethos of the Indian civilization. The great tragedy is that this most oppressive and damaging aspect of British colonial rule of India is something we Indians are still fighting even today, and the British never stopped committing this crime. They do it even today, and they have co-opted even USA to become their accomplice in this crime against Indian civilization.
I and most Indians are willing to forgive and forget ALL of this, not seeking revenge, on the condition that UK and USA at least stop committing this crime today. But they are not stopping. I read how the UK and US media covered the news of the _Pran Prathishtha_ of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple three weeks ago. I read daily how the UK funds a Hybrid War against India and calls the funds it sends to its agents in India (funds to wage this war) as "British Aid to India." I read daily how UK, USA, Canada and even Australia give refuge to terrorists that aim to balkanize India.
*The West is choosing to make India its enemy. One day, they will regret their actions, not because of some "revenge" that India will extract, no. But they will regret that they put to sleep the land of Gandhi and awoke the land of Kautilya.*
Random ahh comment
Supremely well done. Thx for the information.
Great stuff
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THESE AMAZING FACTS
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, bhutan, Tibet, Afghanistan and Srilanka are all parts of Ancient India.
The Culture and bloodlines are same, Artificial boundaries exist due to historical situations. I believe the boundaries will change, The Himalayan Region must first integrate themselves with India so as to boost the collective Growth and Culture and also the defences
why don't you mention whole world is part of Ancient india😂 what will you achieve bro by this kinds of thought and behaviour to other neighbours is to be only your end 🙏shamed on your life.. boarders are only the line bro feel this universe is your own home we have to save this don't divide it and don't break it..
Tibet is a separate culture bro. Yes it has a lot of influences from India but it definitely stands on its own. For Afghanistan only the southern portions were considered a part of greater india. The western and Central parts were persian and the remaining areas were turkic.
no thanks, we dont wanna integrate with pakistan
we r not communist, if borders r only line why just dont u go the borders? your delusion mean nothing@@sujanadhikari4134
Tibetan language script origin is heavily influenced by Sanskrit, prakrit and pali language.
Himalaya name itself is from our ancient Vedas. So, yes the were some changes only after fall of Maurya empire and buddhism from Indian subcontinent.
That being said India was much greater than today on geographical maps, when there was no other religion.
Thanks a lot. Awesome representation of my country
great video thanks. I need to visit.. 27 years living and travellling in 42 countries, and I've not seen teh Himalayas yet! well, maybe some foothills.. but India is calling me!
Well come to our ❤ INDIA
Indian subcontinent is the geographical region that is one of the most suitable places for human civilization.
It has no extremes…
Moderate winds, moderate rainfall, moderate winter, moderate summer.
No We have extremes too. In winter ladakh hits upto -60⁰ C and in summer rajasthan hits 45⁰C and in monsoon meghalaya receives highest rainfall in the world.
