Why were the monsoons so important in India?

Answer 1

The monsoon season brings beneficial rains, which can at times cause flooding and result in many deaths and damage to homes and crops. But it has always been that way, and the people accept it as a needed hazard of their lives.

The Monsoon season, although it floods once or twice a year, can make soil for planting become very rich so even though many people die from these floods, it makes the soil become even richer for better planting and that is why the monsoon has bad benefits but it also has good benefits.

Answer 2

As far as I know, monsoons do not occur in Africa, but in South Asia. Of course, in Sub Saharan Africa it does rain in most parts, large exception being Namibia. The word monsoon implies South Asia generally. Might also include parts of South East Asia and Indonesia.

Answer 3

Half of India's farm output comes from summer crops dependent on the monsoon. For good farm output, the rains have to be not just robust but also evenly spread across states. The monsoon also replenishes 81 nationally-monitored water reservoirs vital for drinking, power and irrigation.
