The abundant sunshine from the tropical sun and the splashing rains from the monsoon winds exert a tremendous impact on the destiny of the teeming millions of India. Explain.

Solution
 India is a vast and densely populated country in the world. It is the second largest as regards the population and seventh largest as regards the area in the world. Its population is above 100 crores.

The two climatic factors play a significant role in the growth of population in India. These factors are :

1. The abundant sunshine from the tropical sun.

2. Monsoonal rainfall.

India is situated in between 8°N and 37.6°N latitudes. The Tropic of Cancer passes though its middle and it gets abundant sunshine from the tropical sun throughout the year. This warm temperature makes the ideal conditions for the growth of various food crops and cash crops throughout the year. This long growing season is assisted by the monsoon rainfall. So the agricultural activities run throughout the year and production of food and cash crops is enough to feed the millions in India.

Thus, the two climatic factors-warm temperature and monsoon rainfall, exert a tremendous impact on the destiny of Indian people and make India a densely populated country.
