Do you even know the basic mechanism of how these monsoon winds carry water and why or where they unload them? Do you know how the Western Ghats or the Aravalli ranges affect the monsoon rain patterns in Western and North Western India , that an ordinary high school kid ought to know like WE did about the Himalayas, the Garo and Khasi Hills and so forth? which shows that on June 1 South West monsoon Bay of Bengal branch simultaneously enter Kerala in the South and Imphal in NE India and then moves northwest wards reaching Delhi bu July 1. * Those are not monsoon wind patterns for crying out loud! They are date of arrival graphs. Do you even read maps, graphs etc.? Sheeesh!!
