Amazing. What conditions are stopping Yemen and Oman from seeing the same level of greenery as India? I don’t see any obvious geographical obstacles to the rainfall that is clearly falling on India.

The low pressure region that forms over tibet during summer draws the monsoon winds from the Indian ocean towards the subcontinent, that being the main reason.
Also Oman does receive some rainfall which turns parts of it green but not as much the subcontinent.
