In India, most of the buildings are built in very compact spaces unlike the houses that are built spaciously with front and backyards in the west. is it solely because of space constraints for this huge population ? financial status of people to not able to afford a lot of land ?

Yana caves in western ghats of Karnataka are so unique in their formation, is there any other such place in india similar to this ?

When all of the Indian subcontinent was controlled by Brits for centuries including sri lanka, Nepal and Bhutan were never annexed. Was it because of no value interms of resource exploitation for the Brits or the rugged terrains of the Himalayas posed a challenge or was it china by any means ?

Did the Tibetean plateau exist before the Indian plate collided with Eurasian plate ? If not what was there before that ?

Comment where you are from.

India traveled over 6,000 km in about 70 million years before crashing into Asia and creating the Himalayas. If this collision had never happened, how different do you think India's climate and geography would be today?

A large portion of rainwater flows into rivers and eventually the sea before it can be stored. Rapid urbanization has replaced lakes, ponds, and open land with concrete surfaces, reducing groundwater recharge. Rainwater harvesting helps capture this rainfall and store it or allow it to seep into the ground, making water available during dry periods.

Discussion:

Should rainwater harvesting be made compulsory for every building in India? Why or why not?
