Choose another region in India and do a similar study of the historical and geographical factors that influence the diversity found there. Are these historical and geographical factors connected to each other? How?

Dear Student,

Apart from geographical factors, choose a region that has a rich historical diversity. Then, try and find the linkages between these factors. Once you are able to form linkages, you would be able to find the reasons for the same.

The following points will help you in performing this case study:

a. When we refer to historical factors, we refer to how past of a particular region affects and impacts its culture. Such a factor influences diversity of a region. For example , Kerala became an important trading centre for Jewish and Arab traders who can then be credited of introducing diverse religions in the state. The state practises Judaism, Christianity, Islam etc. These were historical influences on the region, that is events from the past that impacted it.

b. When we refer to geographical factors we refer to the location,climatic conditions, relief features of a particular area that again influences its culture. For instance, people residing in hills, mountains would have different eating, clothing habit as compared with people living in plains or near to sea. Like in Ladakh, people graze sheep for wool, wear wool, eat milk, butter, cheese. People own yaks, goats etc.
