India has a population of 1.215 billion (2012). It is the second most populous country in the world after the Republic of China and ranks second in population in the world. The whole of India is hot, and most of it has a tropical monsoon climate, while the Thar Desert in western India has a tropical desert climate. There is a more obvious monsoon in summer, but less obvious in winter. India's climate is divided into rainy season (June-October), dry season (March-May) and cool season (November-February). In winter, it is affected by the barrier of the Himalayas, and there is no cold current or cold high pressure southward to affect India. Stretching from the Himalayas to the south and into the Indian Ocean, there are mountainous areas in the north, the Indus-Ganges plain in the center, and the Deccan Plateau and the coastal plains on its east and west sides in the south. Plains account for about two-fifths of the total area, mountains only account for one-quarter, and plateaus account for one-third. However, most of these mountains and plateaus are no more than 1,000 meters above sea level. The low and gentle terrain occupies an absolute advantage in the country. Not only is transportation convenient, but also with the cooperation of the tropical monsoon climate and fertile soil conditions such as alluvial soil and tropical black soil suitable for agricultural production, most of the land can be used for agriculture, and crops can be grown all year round.
