Seasonal Rains (monsoon) in India and other countries.
उत्तर
A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing winds of a region. The summer and winter monsoon determine the climate for most of India and Southeast Asia. The summer monsoon is associated with heavy rainfall between April and September. It brings humid climate and torrential rainfall to India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar after blowing from the southwest Indian Ocean. Agriculture in these countries relies on these seasonal rains. Too little of it causing drought and too much of it causing floods and the resultant loss of life and property. Winter monsoon that starts in the air above Mongolia and northwestern China is less powerful than its summer equivalent. As these winds change direction with the change of seasons; the rains they bring along are called seasonal rains.

The passage given below is on Kabbadi. Read the passage and complete the activities that follow.
Kabbadi (கபடி - in Tamil) is a contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu, India. It is the national sport of Bangladesh. It is also popular in South Asia and is the state game of the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Telangana.
Kabbadi is played between two teams of seven players: the objective of the game is for a single player on offence referred to as a 'raider', to run in to the opposing teams half of a court, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court–all without being tackled by the defenders. Points are scored for each player tagged by the raider, while the opposing team earns a point for stopping the raider. Players are taken out of the game if they are tagged or tackled, but can be 'revived' for each point scored by their team from a tag or tackle. The raider should hold his breath and utter the words like 'kabbadi kabbadi, hututu hututu, chadu kudu' etc. while the opponents try to catch him. If he stops uttering these words, he is considered out.
The game is known by its regional names in different parts of the subcontinent, such as Kabbadi or Chedugudu in Andhra Pradesh, Kabbadi in Kerala and Telangana, Hadudu in Bangladesh, Bhavatik in Maldives, Kauddi or Kabbadi in the Punjab Region, Hu-Tu-Tu in Western India and Hu-Do-Do in Eastern India and Chadakudu in South India. The highest governing body of Kabbadi is the International Kabbadi Federation.
