The Monsoon Quiz

The monsoons have arrived, in all their glory somewhere, in all their fury somewhere else.

India definitely needs the monsoons. Large portions of India could have been a Libya or Sahara or Australia...but for the monsoons. Why is it so? Because India is on the Horse's latitude. Everywhere else in the world, in both hemispheres, these latitudes are deserts. The Monsoon saves India from this fate.

So what else is special about monsoons? How are they connected to Christmas, Buddhism and Rig Veda? What connects coffee and Mango? Is monsoon just a very long sea breeze?

Take this monsoon quiz to find out these interesting snippets. Remember, the score is just incidental.
