Monsoon Season in India: A State-Wise Overview

India experiences a diverse monsoon pattern due to its vast geographical expanse and varied topography. While the overall monsoon season typically spans from June to September, the onset, intensity, and duration vary significantly across different states.

Understanding the Indian Monsoon

Before delving into state-wise specifics, it's crucial to understand the broader monsoon system. India's monsoon is primarily divided into four stages:

Southwest Monsoon: This is the primary monsoon, originating in the Indian Ocean and bringing rainfall to most parts of the country.

Northeast Monsoon: This occurs from October to December, mainly affecting the northeastern and southern peninsular regions.

Pre-Monsoon Showers: These occur in April and May, marking the transition to the monsoon season.

Retreating Monsoon: This phase occurs in September-October, characterized by occasional rainfall.

State-Wise Monsoon Patterns

North India (States like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi)

Onset: Late June to early July.

Duration: Typically 3-4 months.

Rainfall: Intense but often erratic, with occasional heavy downpours leading to floods.

Central India (States like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh)

Onset: Mid-June.

Duration: Around 3 months.

Rainfall: Moderate to heavy rainfall, crucial for agriculture.

Western India (States like Gujarat, Rajasthan)

Onset: Late June.

Duration: Shorter than other regions.

Rainfall: Generally less than other parts, with arid regions receiving minimal rainfall.

Eastern India (States like Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal)

Onset: Mid-June.

Duration: Around 3 months.

Rainfall: Heavy rainfall, often leading to floods in certain areas.

Southern India (States like Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh)

Onset: Early June for Kerala coast, progressing northward.

Duration: Longer monsoon season compared to other regions.

Rainfall: Heavy rainfall, especially in coastal areas.

Impact of Monsoon

The monsoon is a lifeline for India, providing water for agriculture, recharging groundwater, and sustaining ecosystems. However, it also brings challenges such as floods, landslides, and droughts in varying degrees across the country.

Note: The monsoon patterns can fluctuate from year to year, and climate change is increasingly influencing these patterns. It's essential to consult the latest weather forecasts for specific details during the monsoon season.

Poem Title :

The Book Whose Title I Forget

%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^

Was it a vision, or a waking dream ?

Funny thing is, I forget its name,

I mean the title of the book.

Some very ordinary word

or phrase, obviously.

It was about this girl,

this child growing up,

her mother dead,

and her father and her grandfather

fighting for her custody

perhaps also for her love

though her father is a man

of no emotion

while her grandfather

has an excess of it

with the added sadness

of her mother too

having grown up without a mother

for most of her childhood.

You find yourself identifying

with this growing child

shuttling between

the cold austere widower’s world

of her honest but vain

selfish and unemotional

strict and self- absorbed

father

and her warm angry troubled grandfather

owner of a decaying inherited estate

in North Bihar

ravaged by floods

suffering from neglect

as he struggles to come to terms

with the death of a daughter he loved

but could never understand

and a grand- daughter

whose father he hates

but whose loyalty he wants

though it hurts that she is so much

like the daughter he never understood

and the wife whom he adored

but who died too young.

That house

Those gilt sofas with their brocade covers split

and the plastic foam bursting out in places

Those crimson velvet curtains

musty with the smell of flood waters

never fully dried out

a fat grey- green- black lizard clinging

to their tasselled golden cords

That Bhutanese carpet

with a puffing Chinese dragon fading out

as mould catches hold of it

Those Burmese teak floors

and the green patina on the copper fleur de lys

adorning the black rails of the estate boundary wall

three of which, enlarged,

formed the picture on the book cover—

I remember them vividly.

And I remember speculating about who the girl was

among the real life people I know.

I often recall the story

and wonder why it stays with me

though I do not remember its title

or the name of the author,

or even the names of the characters.

I remember the name of the river : Kosi.

What compels memory

so selectively,

so strongly ?

What Bihar Needs is a Massive Revamp in its Value System

The Indian state of Bihar is historically and culturally very rich however does not stand so well on economic prosperity and social well being. The author traces origin of the economic backwardness of Bihar to its value system and proposes revamping it for desired goal of economic growth. Situated in the north eastern part of India, the state of Bihar derives its name from Vihar – the Buddhist monastery. In the ancient period, it was a great seat of power and learning. Great thinkers and historical personalities such as Gautama Buddha, Mahavir and Emperor Ashoka made a huge difference in the lives of the people. Gandhi first tested his Satyagraha technique in Bihar while protesting against the British policy of indigo plantation. One may argue that Bihar has been the intellectual and political powerhouse of India – from the Buddha, the great rulers of Maurya and the Gupta dynasties of ancient times to Gandhi and J.P. Narayan in modern period, Bihar has influenced and shaped history. However, all may not be good with Bihar now. “Whilst the Bihar calamity damages the body, the calamity brought about by untouchability corrodes the very soul” said Mahatma Gandhi whilst talking about the caste system. Flood is a regular annual trouble even today. So is feudalism and caste system albeit a bit toned down since the days of Mr Gandhi which is probably best reflected in the comment “I’ve not given them (the poor people of Bihar) heaven, but I’ve given them a voice’’ by the former chief minister Mr Lalu Yadav. Economically, Bihar still remains among the poorest state in India with very dismal growth in business and industry. Indicators of economic and human development performance of Bihar – per capita GDP, total GDP size, agriculture, zamindari, entrepreneurship, industrial growth, unemployment, migration to other states for education and employment, population density, health, education and governance – each of these are areas of concern requiring careful considerations. There is a lack of strong sub national culture as well. Caste (closed endogamous social group ranked in social spectrum based on ritual purity and pollution) affiliation and bonding largely determine social relationships and is a strong source of political power. What is the value system of people of Bihar? What are the beliefs among the people that something is good and worth striving for? What are things worth having and worth achieving? What do they like to do in life? Ask any youth and the answers most likely would be Superintendent of Police, District Magistrate, Member of Legislative Assembly, Member of Parliament, Minister, or even mafia. You are unlikely to come across anybody who would wish to become an industrialist or a business man. Almost everybody is in pursuit of power, influence and social recognition – an official car with the red beacon light. A permanent government job is what youths are after. To help achieving these, there is a thriving coaching industry which provides training to the aspirants for admission tests and specialised coaching for recruitment tests for civil services, banking and other public sector government jobs. There are about 3,000 private coaching institutes in the state capital Patna alone. According to an estimate, the annual turnover could be around £100 million which is significant for a state with per capita GDP of £435 (2016-17). What can these be attributed to? Education as a process of acquisition of knowledge and skills required for a role notwithstanding, this looks more like an attempt to break the barrier of closed social stratification system by way of bridging economic disparity and caste discrimination. It looks more as a response to elements of an extant feudal system. As a result, people value power over other social groups. Recognition is cherished. Risk taking, innovation, entrepreneurship and successes in business and industry are not ranked highly in the value system hence not aspired for in general. Probably, this is at the core of the economic backwardness of Bihar. There are evidences linking social values to entrepreneurship, economic growth and prosperity. Max Weber had theorised that capitalism historically could not have evolved in India and China largely because of ”other worldly” religious ethos of Hinduism and Buddhism respectively. In his book “The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism” he established how the value system of the protestant sect led to a rise in capitalism in Europe. The economic success story of South Korea is also a case in point. These are the instances of religious values reinforcing personal drives to economic and material successes. Society should encourage and reward members who take risks identifying and creating innovative solutions to satisfy the needs and demands of the population. The part of the wealth thus created by the businesses and industries is collected by the state in the form of revenue which in Kautilya’s words ”is the backbone of administration”. The society of Bihar apparently has shifted its focus away from the functional prerequisite of ”economic production and exchange of goods and services” and ”wealth creation”. Social values, entrepreneurship, economic growth and prosperity are interlinked. What Bihar needs is a massive revamp in its value system to make it conducive to the development of entrepreneurship, business and commercial activities. Entrepreneurship development is the only sustainable route for poverty alleviation. Like England, Bihar needs to become a ”nation of shopkeepers” but before this, ”becoming shopkeeper” needs to be cherished and valued by the people of Bihar. The value of wealth creation will require inculcating democratic principles, tolerance and respect for the rule of law as a part of primary socialisation and education. *** “What Bihar Needs” Series Articles    I. What Bihar Needs is a Massive Revamp in its Value System  II. What Bihar Needs is a ‘Robust’ System to Support Young Entrepreneurs  III. What Bihar Needs is the Renaissance of ‘Vihari Identity’  IV.

7 Interesting Things about Assam You Probably Didn’t Know About

Known chiefly to be home to the precious one-horned rhinoceros in Kaziranga, and also the mind-numbing paradox of birds committing mass-suicide in Jatinga; the beautiful country of Assam stands as a lot more than just these! Moving past the thoughts that a lot of individuals possess about A the nation, here are a few interesting things about Assam to expand your horizon concerning the area!

 1. Assam has a State Anthem!

The anthem has been composed by Lakshminath Bezbaroa and goes like that --' O Mur Apunar Dex' (O my beloved motherland). It was officially adopted as the anthem of the State in 1927 at a conference in Tezpur.

 2. Celebration of Cultures

 Contrary to the image that people have of Assam, it is not an independent country in itself. It's in reality home to many Bengalis, Marwaris, Biharis, etc... Every road is peppered with discussion wallahs and mithai wallahs, chiefly run by people from Bihar. Marwaris are also quite high in number here.

 3. Assam has Three Distinct Types Bihu Celebrations

 Bihu is the national festival of Assam. But instead of coming in a year, it comes thrice! Having been residing in Assam for 2 decades today, the grand celebration of the festival has always astounded me.

 4. Guwahati -- the pseudo-capital of Assam

 Dispur as most of us know is that the official capital of Assam. It serves as the unofficial capital of this State. Dispur, in actuality, is so small the area skids away in a bus trip of 2 minutes!

 5. Jonbeel Mela

Lesser-known even among st the people of Assam, that can be a three-day fest that occurs some 30 kilometres from Guwahati at the entry of the Porbitora Wildlife sanctuary. This festival has been inaugurated by the King of this Tiwa tribe who then collects taxes from the public according to their own earnings.

  6. All Kinds of Food Available Here!

 Assam offers an inviting palate whatsoever. From Rava dosas, cheese momos (try Fancy Bazaar from Guwahati) to scintillating pasta -- the country affords all avenues for foodies to carry them onto an ultimate-gastronomic journey. With their very own native specialties of all pitha ladu, bamboo shoot-infused duck, pigeon dishes and rice beer, Assam has excellent options to silence the naysayers about the only foods in Assam being 'rice together with anything'. Bhoot Jolokia is just another hot chilly place that is famous.

 7. Not a Jungle or even Rape-state or Flood-land!

 Lastly, here's a fantasy that was "busted" many times before (and consequently its notable mention here). Guwahati appears to be a thriving and ever-developing, globalization-welcoming town. Also, since the Brahmaputra is one of the largest rivers of the nation, it does make sense that after it gets over-flooded through monsoons, there'll be floods throughout the nation. But it is not all water anywhere' rather than a popular notion.

 Open your minds fellow readers and enjoy the condition a little more! Come to Assam and celebrate life! Pre-sentiments are in presence for  every place, but do not let that dampen your spirits; let this state spin its magic on you also!

Bihar is currently experiencing devastating floods that have hit over dozens of villages across the state, including both north and south Bihar. The Ganges River, which runs through many Bihar districts, is constantly flowing above the danger level while the Bihar Flood water entered more than 100 villages. Residents of the area are fleeing their homes in boats to safer locations since it is becoming increasingly difficult for them to feed their families and children as the water level in the village has risen to 5 feet. Bihar is at a crawl, with no basic amenities like food or electricity, and it needs all the help it can get.

True History of Pakistan

Release

Pakistan is based on the North American element of South Asia. It's bordered by China in the North, Afghanistan in the North-West, Iran in South-West, Arabian Ocean and Indian Ocean in the South and India in the East. Pakistan, as evident, is situated at the crossroads of South Asia, Key Asia, and the Middle East making it a simple relating level between Key Asia and South Asia.

There were significant immigration actions, in the areas today constituting Pakistan since pre-historic times. The folks of Pakistan are descendants of different racial groups and sub-racial stocks, who entered the subcontinent in the last 5000 decades, mainly from central and american Asia from time to time. Yet unlike the favorite misunderstanding, it always maintained their personality and personality split up from their neighbor India who stated that Pakistan was an integral part of Aakhand Bharat (Undivided India) on the basis of history. Thus their partition from India is totally unjustified. But tens of thousands of decades of history of the sub-continent tells an alternative story. It shows people that the areas called Pakistan nowadays had regularly kept as an individual, compact and another geographical and political entity since historical times.

Few persons would be aware of the real history of Pakistan however; few might realize that the oldest rock instrument on earth, dating back again to 2.2 million decades was found at Rabat, about fifteen miles far from Rawalpindi and the largest hand Guitar was found in the Soan Valley. And to prime everything, the site of the very first settled life on the planet dating back again to the 8th millennium BC has been available at Mehergarh in the Sibi districts of Balochistan. Although Pakistan, as an independent state dates only from September 14th, 1947 and the state itself can trace their origins just to a couple ages before, the areas of Pakistan are heir to one of the wealthiest and the earliest civilizations and settlements of the world.

Indus Valley Society

The Indus Area Civilization or the Harappan Civilizationi is one of the very most intriguing and the oldest civilizations actually known. It flourished between 3000 and 1500 BC by the banks of Lake Indus or Sind in Pakistan. This civilization existed along the Indus Stream in current day Pakistan with its main stores at Mohenjodaro in Sind, Harappa in the Punjab, Kej in the Baluch place and Judeiro Daro in the Pathan region. It's usually believed that the inhabitants of Indus Area Civilization were Dravidians who came to sub-continent from western Mediterranean. pak24tv

This civilization reached their climax about both metropolitan centers of Mohenjodaro and Harappa. These cities are well-known for their remarkable, arranged and standard layout. These were the stores of arts and crafts. Based on Steve Marshal, the Harappan everyone was literate and used the Dravidian language ii that will be one of many world's first known languages. Their main occupation was agriculture and trade. The society is significant for its strong central government, sense for art and architecture and home planning.

Flood is regarded as being the destroyer of this lifestyle due to which agriculture got disrupted and industry routes affected which led most the people to migrate to other fertile lands. Those who were put aside dropped prey to the Aryan invasion. The society survived for fifteen hundred years.

Arrival of the Aryans

In about 1700 BC, Indus Valley persons found the arrival of new horse-riding nomads from Central Asia ultimately causing the final decrease of these prosperous and innovative Indus Civilization. The Aryans came in at the very least two important waves in Pakistan. The very first wave came about 2000 BC and the next wave came at least six centuries later. It had been after the 2nd trend of Aryans intrusion which they became dominant and their language spread over the entire size and breadth of the region. They joined through the Swat Pit from the northwest pile passes and forced the area persons or the Dravidians (the folks of Indus Civilization) southwards or towards the woodlands and mountains in north. They resolved first in Punjab and Indus Area and then spread eastward and southward. Unlike Indus people Aryans were uncivilized race. Their religious texts and individual stays claim that the Aryans were severe in their invasions. They killed the people and burnt their cities. The same view was opined by Stuart Piggot in his book Pre-historic India:

"The Aryan advent was in fact the birth of barbarians into a spot currently extremely arranged in to an empire centered on a lengthy established custom of literate urban lifestyle ".

Besides being durable practitioners Aryans were also experienced farmers and craftsmen. These were the worshippers of character and their religious publications were called Vedas. Aryans were tall, well-built and; had appealing features and good appearance while the people of Indus Pit were dark, smooth nosed and of short stature. The Indus persons published to the superior Aryans and became their slaves. This fact later became the foundation of Caste program so as of superiority such as for example Brahmans (priest) Kashatryas (warriors) and Vaisyas (business community and commoners). The Dravidians were put into fourth and termed as Sudras (slaves).

Persian Empire

In the 6th century BC, Darius invaded Pakistan and made the Indus plain and Gandhara part of his Persian Empire of the Achaemenid, together with his capital at Persepolis in Iran. It absolutely was from then onwards that the town of Taxila started to cultivate and the location found the rise of another great society named the Gandhara Society protecting most of the northern Pakistan with capitals at equally Pushkalavati (Charsadda) and Takshka-sila (Taxila).

Included in the Persian Empire, the region yet again rose to zenith. Trade with Iran and the west resumed yet again, economy flourished, tools and different things of day-to-day use were produced. Charsadda and Taxila became the stores of activity. Among the best universities of the ancient world was created at Taxila. It was only at that university that Chandra Gupta Maurya got his knowledge, who later created the Maurya Empire in South Asia. This affluent Achaemenian Empire that extended from Pakistan to Greece and Egypt, nevertheless, collapsed underneath the assault of Alexander of Macedonia.

Alexander's Intrusion

Alexander entered Pakistan from the upper course at Swat and conquered the Gandharan area between 327 and 325 BC. He reached Taxila first. The Raja of Taxila understanding Alexander's great army's status gave him a delightful in place of resistance. Alexander slept at Taxila for some time then came across Raja Porus who had been the ruler of the territories east of Jehlum. Then gone as much as Water Beas from wherever his military declined to get further, therefore then came down through the whole amount of Pakistan, crossed the Centre Lake near Karachi and departed for home desperate on the way. Alexander's intrusion produced Greek knowledge and research to Taxila.

Up until here it's notable that all through each settlements and invasions might that be of the Indus Area Civilization, Aryans or throughout the fifty per cent of a millennium period after Aryan's migrations and during the Persian Empire, Pakistan generally stood as a different entity from India and the period covered by these settlements is all about 2200 years.

Mauryan Empire

Alexander's premature decline at Babylon in 323 B.C triggered the breakup of his vast empire in to two components (The Byzantine Empire and Bacterian Greeks). The control of this area thus fell to the fingers of native dynasties and tribes. Chandragupta Maurya was the founder of Maurya Empire who marched in to the Gangetic plains, conquered the Nanda Kings and established a solid government at a place named Magadha (present Bihar). However, it must be observed he ruled from India but he was a boy of Potohar region and a Prince of Taxila. He followed Jainism. His grandson Ashoka was a Buddhist.

Excerpt from this story from The Guardian:

More than 100 people have been killed and millions more affected by devastating floods and landslides across parts of south Asia.

Heavy monsoon rains over the past week have left many dead in Nepal and Bangladesh, and submerged vast areas of north-east India.

In the north-eastern Indian state of Assam, among the worst-hit areas, agencies were working on a “war footing” to deal with the situation, the chief minister, Sarbananda Sonowal, said.

About 4.3 million people in Assam have been affected by flooding, while 83,000 have been forced to seek shelter in relief camps on higher ground.

In Bihar, east India, a further 2.56 million people were hit by flash floods, with many homes quickly submerged in brown water.

Every year, floods cause deaths and force huge numbers of people to flee their homes across south Asia. It is feared the death toll and damage from the monsoon season, which has just begun, is likely to increase in coming weeks.
