The mainland comprises four regions, namely, the great mountain zone, plains of

the Ganga and the Indus, the desert region and the southern peninsula. The

Himalayas comprise three almost parallel ranges interspersed with large plateaus

and valleys, some of which, like the Kashmir and Kullu valleys, are fertile,

extensive and of great scenic beauty. Some of the highest peaks in the world are

found in these ranges. The high altitudes admit travel only to a few passes,

notably the Jelep La and Nathu La on the main Indo-Tibet trade route through

the Chumbi Valley, north-east of Darjeeling and Shipki La in the Satluj valley,

north-east of Kalpa (Kinnaur). The mountain wall extends over a distance of

about 2,400 km with a varying depth of 240 to 320 km. In the east, between

Magical Dance Forms Of India

India and Myanmar and India and Bangladesh, hill ranges are much lower.

Garo, Khasi, Jaintia and Naga Hills, running almost east-west, join the chain to

Mizo and Rkhine Hills running north-south. The plains of the Ganga and the

Indus, about 2,400 km long and 240 to 320 km broad, are formed by basins

of three distinct river systems - the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra.

They are one of the world's greatest stretches of flat alluvium and also one of

the most densely populated areas on the earth. Between the Yamuna in Delhi and

the Bay of Bengal, nearly 1,600 km away, there is a drop of only 200 meters in

elevation. The desert region can be divided into two parts - the great desert and

the little desert. The great desert extends from the edge of the Rann of

Kuchch beyond the Luni River northward. The whole of the RajasthanSind

frontier runs through this. The little desert extends from the Luni between

Jaisalmer and Jodhpur up to the northern wastes. Between the great and the

little deserts lies a zone of absolutely sterile country, consisting of rocky land

cut up by limestone ridges. The Peninsular Plateau is marked off from the plains

of the Ganga and the Indus by a mass of mountain and hill ranges varying from

460 to 1,220 meters in height. Prominent among these are the Aravalli, Vindhya,

Part 1 EPISODE 1

Satpura, Maikala and Ajanta. The Peninsula is flanked on the one side by the

Eastern Ghats where the average elevation is about 610 meters and on the other

by the Western Ghats where it is generally from 915 to 1,220 meters, rising in

places to over 2,440 meters. Between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea

lies a narrow coastal strip, while between Eastern Ghats and the Bay of Bengal

there is a broader coastal area. The southern point of the plateau is formed by

the Nilgiri Hills, where the Eastern and the Western Ghats meet. The Cardamom

Hills lying beyond may be regarded as a continuation of the Western Ghats.

The geological regions broadly follow the physical features, and may be grouped

into three regions: the Himalayas and their associated group of mountains, the

Indo-Ganga Plain, and the Peninsula Shield. The Himalayan mountain belt to the

north and the Naga-Lushai mountain in the east, are the regions of mountain-

building movement. Most of this area, now presenting some of the most

magnificent mountain scenery in the world, was under marine conditions about

600 million years ago. In a series of mountain building movements commencing

about 70 million years ago, the sediments and the basement rocks rose to

great heights. The weathering and erosive agencies worked on these to produce

the relief seen today. The Indo-Ganga plains are a great alluvial tract that

separates the Himalayas in the north from the Peninsula in the south. The

Peninsula is a region of relative stability and occasional seismic disturbances.

Highly metamorphosed rocks of the earliest periods, dating back as far as 380

crore years, occur in the area; the rest being covered by the coastal-bearing

Gondwana formations, lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap formation and

younger sediments. The rivers of India can be classified into four groups viz.,

Himalayan rivers, Deccan rivers, Coastal rivers, and Rivers of the inland

drainage basin.

The Himalayan Rivers are formed by melting snow and glaciers and therefore,

continuously flow throughout the year. During the monsoon months, Himalayas

receive very heavy rainfall and rivers swell, causing frequent floods. The Deccan

Rivers on the other hand, are rain fed and therefore fluctuate in volume. Many

of these are non-perennial. The Coastal streams, especially on the west coast are

Part 1 EPISODE 1

short in length and have limited catchment areas. Most of them are non-

perennial. The streams of the inland drainage basin of western Rajasthan are

few. Most of them are of an ephemeral character. The main Himalayan river

systems are those of the Indus and the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna system.

The

Indus, which is one of the great rivers of the world, rises near Mansarovar in

Tibet and flows through India, and thereafter through Pakistan, and finally falls

into the Arabian Sea near Karachi. Its important tributaries flowing in Indian

Territory are the Sutlej (originating in Tibet), the Beas, the Ravi, the Chenab,

and the Jhelum. The Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna is another important system of

which the principal sub-basins are those of Bhagirathi and the Alaknanda, which

join at Dev Prayag to form the Ganga. It traverses through Uttarakhand, Uttar

Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal. Below Rajmahal hills, the Bhagirathi, which

used to be the main course in the past, takes off, while the Padma continues

eastward and enters Bangladesh. The Yamuna, the Ramganga, the Ghaghra, the

Gandak, the Kosi, the Mahananda and the Sone are the important tributaries of

the Ganga. Rivers Chambal and Betwa are the important sub-tributaries, which

join the Yamuna before it meets the Ganga. The Padma and the Brahmaputra join

inside Bangladesh, and continue to flow as the Padma or Ganga. The Brahmaputra

rises in Tibet, where it is known as Tsangpo and runs a long distance till it

crosses over into India in Arunachal Pradesh under the name of Dihang. Near

Passighat, the Debang and Lohit join the river Brahmaputra and the combined

river runs all along the Assam in a narrow valley. It crosses into Bangladesh

downstream of Dhubri. The principal tributaries of Brahmaputra in India are the

Subansiri, Jia Bhareli, Dhansiri, Puthimari, Pagladiya and the Manas. The

Brahmaputra in Bangladesh receives the flow of Tista, etc., and finally falls into

Ganga. The Barak River, the Head stream of Meghna, rises in the hills in Manipur.

The important tributaries of the river are Makku, Trang, Tuivai, Jiri, Sonai,

Rukni, Katakhal, Dhaleswari, Langachini, Maduva and Jatinga. Barak continues in

Bangladesh till the combined Ganga-Brahmaputra join it near Bhairab Bazar.

In the Deccan region, most of the major river systems flowing generally in the

east direction fall into the Bay of Bengal. The major east flowing rivers are

Godavari, Krishna, Cauvery, Mahanadi, etc. Narmada and Tapti are major West

flowing rivers. The Godavari in the southern Peninsula has the second largest

river basin covering 10 per cent of the area of India. Next to it is the Krishna

basin in the of the Narmada in the uplands of the Deccan, flowing to the

Arabian Sea, and of the Kaveri in the south, falling into the Bay of Bengal is

about the same size, though with different character and shape. There are

numerous coastal rivers, which are comparatively small. While only handful of

such rivers drains into the sea near the delta of the east coast, there are as

many as 600 such rivers on the west coast.

A few rivers in Rajasthan do not drain into the sea. They drain into salt lakes and

get lost in sand with no outlet to the sea. Besides these, there are the Desert

Rivers, which flow for some distance and are lost in the desert. These are Luni

and others, such as, Machhu, Rupen, Saraswati, Banas and Ghaggar.

The climate of India may be broadly described as a tropical monsoon type.

There are four seasons:

1. winter (December-February)

2. hot weather summer (March-May)

3. rainy southwestern monsoon (June-September) and

4. post-monsoon, also known as northeast monsoon in the southern Peninsula

(October-December).

India's climate is suffering from 2 seasonal winds - the northeast monsoon and

therefore the southwest monsoon. The north-east monsoon, ordinarily called

winter monsoon blows from land to ocean, whereas south-west monsoon, called

summer monsoon blows from ocean to land when crossing the ocean, the Arabian

Sea, and therefore the Bay of geographic region. The south-west monsoon brings

most of the downfall throughout a year within the country. With a large variety

of weather conditions from the torrid to the arctic, India features a wealthy

and varied vegetation, that solely some countries of comparable size possess.

India is divided into eight distinct-floristicregions, namely, the western mountain

range, the japanese mountain range, Assam, the Indus plain, the Ganga plain, the

Deccan, Malabar and therefore the Andamans. The Western range region

extends from Kashmir to Kumaon. Its Temperate Zone is wealthy in forests of

chir, pine, alternative conifers and broadleaf temperate trees. Higher up,

forests ofdeodar, blue pine, spruce and fir tree occur. The alpine zone extends

from the higher limit of the Temperate Zone of regarding four,750 metres or

perhaps higher. The characteristic trees of this zone are high-level fir tree,

Betula pendula and junipers. The japanese range region extends from geographic

region eastward and embraces Darjeeling, Kurseong and therefore the adjacent

tract. The Temperate Zone has forests of oaks, laurels, maples, rhododendrons,

alder and birch. Many conifers, junipers and dwarf willows conjointly occur here.

The Assam region contains the Brahmaputra and therefore the Surma valleys

with evergreen forests, occasional thick clumps of bamboos and tall grasses. The

Indus plain region contains the plains of geographic region, western Rajasthan

and northern Gujarat. It's dry and hot and supports natural vegetation. The

Ganga plain region covers the realm that is sediment plain and is underneath

cultivation for wheat, sugarcane and rice. solely tiny areas support forests of

wide different types. The Deccan region contains the complete highland of the

Indian earth and supports vegetation of assorted types from scrub jungles to

mixed deciduous forests. The Malabar region covers the to a fault wet belt of

mountain country parallel to the West Coast of the earth. Besides being wealthy

in forest vegetation, this region produces necessary industrial crops, like

coconut, betel nut, pepper, occasional and tea, rubber and cashew. The Andaman

region abounds in evergreen, mangrove, beach and diluvia forests. The range

region extending from Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh through Asian country,

Sikkim, Bhutan, Meghalaya and Nagaland and therefore the Deccan earth is

wealthy in endemic flora, with an outsized variety of plants that don't seem to

be found elsewhere. India is wealthy in flora. Obtainable knowledge place India

within the tenth position within the world and fourth in Asia in plant diversity.

From regarding seventy per cent geographic region surveyed thus far, 47,000

species of plants are delineated by the biology Survey of India (BSI), Kolkata.

The vascular flora, that forms the conspicuous vegetation cowl, contains 15,000

species. Of these, quite thirty five per cent is endemic and has thus far not

been accorded anyplace within the world. The flora of the country are being

studied by the BSI and its 9 circle/field offices set throughout the country

together with bound universities and analysis establishments.Ethno-botanical

study deals with the activity of plants and plant product by ethnic races. A

scientific study of such plants has been created by BSI. Variety of careful

ethno-botanical explorations are conducted in numerous social group areas of the

country. Quite 800 plant species of ethno-botanical interest has been collected

and known at completely different centres. Because of destruction of forests

for agricultural, industrial and concrete development, many Indian plants face

extinction. About 1,336 plant species are thought-about vulnerable and

vulnerable. Regarding twenty species of upper plants are classified as

presumably extinct as these haven't been quick-sighted throughout the last 6-10

decades. BSI brings out a list of vulnerable plants within the type of a

publication titled Red knowledge Book.

The Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), with its headquarters in Calcutta and

sixteen regional stations is to blame for measurement the faunal resources of

India. Possessing an amazing diversity of climate and physical conditions, India

has a nice style of fauna, listing 89,451 species, that embody division, Mollusca,

Anthropoda, Amphibia, Mammalia, Reptilia, members of Protochordata, Pisces,

Aves and alternative invertebrates. The mammals embody the majestic elephant,

the Bibos gaurus or Indian bovid - the most important of existing bovines, the

nice Indian rhinoceros, the big bovid of the mountain range, the swamp ruminant,

the thamin noticed ruminant, nilgai, the four-horned bovid, the Indian bovid or

black-buck - the sole representatives of those genera. Among the cats, the tiger

and lion are the foremost impressive of all; alternative splendid creatures like

the clouded leopard, the ounce, the marbleized cat, etc., also are found. several

alternative species of mammals are outstanding for his or her beauty, colouring,

grace and individuality. Many birds, like pheasants, geese, ducks, mynahs,

parakeets, pigeons, cranes, hornbills and sun birds inhabit forests and wetlands.

Rivers and lakes harbour crocodiles and gharials, the latter being the sole

representative of crocodilian reptile order within the world. The salt-water

crocodilian reptile is found on the japanese coast and within the Andaman and

Nicobar Islands. A project for breeding crocodiles, started in 1974, has been

instrumental in saving the crocodilian reptile from extinction. The nice Himalayan

range features a terrible attention-grabbing style of fauna that features the

bovid and goats,markhor, ibex, shrew and perissodactyl mammal. The panda and

therefore the ounce are found within the higher reaches of the

mountains.Depletion of vegetative cowl because of enlargement of agriculture,

surroundings destruction, over-exploitation, pollution, introduction of harmful

imbalance in community structure, epidemics, floods, droughts and cyclones,

contribute to the loss of flora and fauna. Quite thirty-nine species of mammals,

seventy two species of birds, seventeen species of reptiles, 3 species of

amphibians, 2 species of fish, and an outsized variety of butterflies, moth, and

beetles are thought-about vulnerable and vulnerable.
