How did India stay protected yet remain connected to the world? In this episode, we explore the geography of the Indian subcontinent—natural barriers like the Himalayas and Thar Desert, the Khyber Pass as a gateway, the Western and Eastern coasts, and the monsoon system that shaped trade, travel, and history. From internal regions like the Indo-Gangetic plains and Deccan plateau to global connections with Central Asia and Southeast Asia, this is how India’s landscape influenced movement, exchange, and civilisation.
