Early farming villages in India depended on summer monsoons for their agricultural activities. Monsoons are seasonal winds that bring heavy rainfall to the Indian subcontinent during the summer months. The monsoon rains were crucial for providing the necessary water for farming, allowing crops to grow and sustain the village communities. These villages practiced rain-fed agriculture, relying on the predictability of the monsoons for their agricultural planning and livelihoods. Summer typhoons, on the other hand, are tropical cyclones that are relatively rare in the Indian subcontinent and mainly affect coastal areas, typically causing destructive winds and heavy rainfall, making them less advantageous for agriculture.
