1) Himalayas act as an effective physical barrier for moisture bearing southwest monsoon winds.
2) Himalayas divide the Bay of Bengal branch of monsoon winds into two branches_ one branch flowing along the plain region towards northwest India and the other towards southeast Asia.
3) If the Himalayas were not present the monsoon winds would simply move in to China and most parts of the Indian sub¬ continent would not have received sufficient amounts of rainfall as of now.
4) Himalayas protect India from the cold and the dry air masses, which originates from Siberia and Central Asian region, this would have entered the Indian sub¬ continent vowing to northeast trade winds thus making the place a cold dry desert with little or no vegetation.
5) In winters, the Himalayas bifurcate the sub-tropical westerly jetstreams winds and thus aid in the formation of winter-rainfall. Thus, Himalayas are responsible for fulfilling the water requirements of more than1.3 billion population.
6) Without Himalayas, most of the place would have been a cold dry desert with little or no vegetation.
7) Also the racial profile of India would be very different as there would be very strong Mongol attacks because no natural defense would have been present and history might have been very different because of the extensive mongoloid invasion.
