Heck, a Kashmiri is genetically closer to a Tamil or an Assamese (refer Human Genome Diversity Project, HGDP) than they are to a Pashtun right next door. People in the subcontinent have been moving around and mixing with each other and the mountains to the north and west act as natural barriers to limit outside influence in the mixing. To end, that sentence in the Vedas is a geographical description, not religious. It goes; "Uttaram yat samudrasya, Himadreschaiva dakshinam, varsham tad Bharatam nama Bharati yatra santatih" Meaning exactly what he said, North of the ocean and south of the snowy mountains, there lies a country called Bharatam whose people are called Bharatis.

It is truly amazing that freshwater rivers like Godavari, Krishna and Cauvery were extolled as sacred, to be immensely revered, 100s and 100s of decades ago, much before invaders, 'conquerors' and annexing this land to an 'Empire' reached the Indian peninsula.

I am very grateful for this presentation. India has always represented for me the most tolerant, welcoming, geologically panoramic and demographically exuberant societies in the world. Its democracy has not remained as independent under the current leadership, but I hope things will return to full tolerance of religion and freedom of expression. We need India as a balance to five other titans-Russia, America, China, Brazil and Indonesia. Of these six enormous powers, India is probably the least selfish, and most naturally intellectually gifted. I happily say that as a American. If it's birth rate could stabilize at 2.1, and environmental endowment be protected, India will become the global model for a pluralistic, prosperous and peace-loving future!

It would be explainable using this same video. Pakistan really is the western portion of the Indian Subcontinent, with the same Thar Desert, Indo-Gangetic Plains and Himalayas and even the coastal plains to the south. Coastal Sindh = Coastal Gujarat Punjab (Pak) = Punjab+Haryana (Ind) Ajk, Eastern KPK like Swat and Dir= J&K, Himachal, Uttarakhand Gilgit, Astore, Baltistan, Chitral = Ladakh, Kargil, Lahaul & Spiti Thar in Sindh and Punjab = Thar in Rajasthan The only difference is Pakistan has an extra mountain range to the west (the Suleiman and the Hindu Kush), whose function is the same as the Arakan in Northeast India, which separates the far west and far east of the subcontinent from the Middle East and South East Asia respectively.

Maybe not exactly, but perhaps some parts at the northern foothills of the Himalayas might fit your bill. Delhi, for example, touches 45-47 C in the summer (bone dry heat) and reaches around 3-5 C in the Winter. Although it doesn't particularly rain during the winters. Higher up (in the states of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh) might be closer to what you have in mind. 35 C in the summer and 0 C and below during the winters. Again, it doesn't particularly rain during the winters (some places do experiences snowfall though) There may also be a few places in the North East of the country where you may find wetter winters. Near Sikkim, Darjeeling etc.
