The Rainy season in India


1.       The Rainy season in India start in early July and continues up to September. It comes as a great relief to the world suffering from excessive heat and scorching rays of the sun. Birds, beasts, plants, and human being all welcome the rainy season, because it gives them the much-needed relief.

2.       When the rainy season starts, the sky is very often overcast with clouds and it presents a very beautiful scene. The clouds of different shades and colours move hither and thither in the sky and look very nice. Natural itself wears new apparel. The trees which shed their leaves in the summer come to have new leaves. New grass grows in the dry fields and they look like turf of green velvet. The wind blows away dust from the roads and they look neat and clean. When it drizzles for several days, the Kachcha roads, however, become muddy; Rivers, Ponds, and ditches are filled with water.

3.       The rainy season has both its advantages and disadvantages. Rain helps cultivation. Failure of rain causes famine and many people die. While it gives relief to the world suffering from heat, it also causes much inconvenience. People are confined to their houses and if they have to come out. They need umbrellas and water-proofs. The Kanhcha roads become muddy and it becomes difficult to walk on them. The rivers often overflow their banks and create much havoc. Too much of rain makes the roofs of houses leaky and the mud-built walls collapse and cause much damage to the household articles.

4.       Rain is a great boon to peasants. Without rain crops would not grow and agriculturists would be put too much loss. In India, agriculturists have to depend mainly on rain for cultivation and for the raising of crops on their lands.

It was rebuilt twice after invasion, first after an invasion from the Huns in the 5th century BCE and then after an invasion from the Gaudasin the 7th century CE but abandoned after the third invasion by Turkic invaders in the 12th century. Takshasila (in modern-day Pakistan) was the earliest recorded centre of higher learning in India from possibly 8th Century BCE, and it is debatable whether it could be regarded a university or not in modern sense, since teachers living there may not have had official membership of particular colleges, and there did not seem to have existed purpose-built lecture halls and residential quarters in Taxila, in contrast to the later Nalanda university in eastern India. Nalanda was the oldest university-system of education in the world in the modern sense of university. There all subjects were taught in Ariano -páli Langua...
