About this listen

Geography 101, in its fifth season, features India in a sweeping exploration of scale, diversity, and the geographic forces that have shaped one of the most influential regions in the world. This episode travels from the icy ramparts of the Himalayas to fertile river plains, from ancient plateau landscapes to densely populated coastlines, revealing how terrain directs agriculture, settlement, trade, and belief. Listeners will discover how monsoon rhythms govern everyday life, why river systems become cultural lifelines, and how mountains, deserts, and seas act as both barriers and bridges to movement. The journey also highlights the rise of modern megacities, the pressure placed on infrastructure and environment, and the remarkable resilience of communities adapting to rapid change. Through physical and human geography intertwined, this episode invites you to see India not simply as a place on the map, but as a living dialogue between nature and civilization that continues to evolve with every generation.
