Detailed explanation-1: -Agriculture in India is dependent on the monsoon season because farmers are not well equipped with modern methods of manual irrigation. They are still dependent on monsoon rains for irrigating their crops. The Indian economy gains due to good monsoon rains in the country resulting in a good yield of crops.
Detailed explanation-2: -The summer monsoon brings a humid climate and torrential rainfall to these areas. India and Southeast Asia depend on the summer monsoon. Agriculture, for example, relies on the yearly rain.
