About south india
|
Home to thousand year-old cultures and
space-age technologies, India is a study in contrast. Nestling in the
midst of land and water, India has dominated the Asian subcontinent for
ages.South India, which covers the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala, is a new experience in itself. An area
approximately as large as France, Switzerland, and the Benelux
countries put together, South India has its own languages, its own
climate, and also its own music. A traditionally strong, culturally
rich bastion of the country, the urban centres are witnessing western
influences. But even then the religion and customs form a major part of
the lifestyle of the typical South Indian.From the geographical point
of view, South India is that part of India which stretches from the
Vindhya mountains to Kanyakumari. The two main divisions are the
coastal plains along the Bay of Bengal and the plateaue extending to
the western ghats. Rivers course down these ghats and flow into the
sea. this is one of the richest agricultural regions of India. There
are two monsoons and the fate of the entire people depends on these
rains.The South Indian State..
