The role of climate in general and the monsoon in particular, in the evolution and growth of human settlements in the area has been scarcely touched upon. Here is a case study which offers more nuanced readings of human-nature interactions. Integrating data from paleoecology, archaeology and history, this study has attempted to track the environmental social and political transformations in this region over the last one and a half millennia.
