Meera Syal presents an evening of programmes celebrating the monsoon and I its profound impact on the life and arts of India. The monsoon is one of the most dramatic climate phenomena on earth, sweeping across India with a generally uncanny precision - hitting Kerala by 31 May, Bombay by 5 June and Delhi by 29 June. Anticipated by a period of intense dry heat, it creates an overwhelming effect on landscape and culture, providing over 90 per cent of India's agricultural water and a vital proportion of the nation's electricity. It also inspires the creation of the most poignant and lyrical music, poetry and writing. In India the monsoon is viewed as a returning relative, with an individual characterfor every region and every person - often late, sometimes malevolent, but always life-affirming. Monsoon Night marks the season in song, classical music performance, poetry, documentary and discussion.
