Answer» The Himalayas exert a significant influence on the life of the people of India in several ways. • They form a natural boundary between India and China. • They serve as a climatic barrier by preventing the entry of the cold winds from Central Asia and preventing the rain¬bearing monsoon winds from leaving India. • They are a source of perennial rivers such as the Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra and their tributaries. • Their rugged terrain is ideal for hydroelectric power generation. • The mountain slopes are forested. These forests provide different types of timber and forest products. • The Himalayas have beautiful hill Stations Shimla, Darjeeling, Mussorie, etc. |
