How did the climate influence the way the civilization works?
During the hot weathers in ancient India, evidence indicates that parts of India had been very dry and there was an increase in the number of droughts. More than 60% of India soil is rain fed, making the country highly dependent of groundwater. With this, the rise of temperatures with lower rainfall, at the end of growing season had caused a significant loss in India's food production, which was a major health impact in India.
