Detailed explanation-1: -Monsoon plays a predominant role in the daily life of the people of South Asia. The use of monsoon wind in the Indian Ocean for maritime trade was a boon to the sailing ships to reach overseas countries. It is believed that Hippalus discovered monsoon wind in AD 45-47.
Detailed explanation-2: -Changes in the direction of trade winds caused by differential heating of the continent and the sea are known as monsoon winds. Because monsoon winds travel from a high-pressure to a low-pressure area, changes in air pressure cause the monsoon winds to change direction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Traders, in order to reach India, used to explore various sea routes which followed the coasts. Some of them were across Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal where monsoon winds helped in crossing seats fast.
