C'da,
I am not an expert in Monsoon and in fact my school
knowledge had been like what is mentioned by you
(Western Ghat and Eastern Ghat).

However,  the piece of info which has been cited by
Umesh is Originally from "Library of Congress" -- 
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?frd/cstdy:@field(DOCID+in0035)
  

Shall we consider this as "Yet another PSEUDO
scientific account" ???  Or perhaps LoC hired some  ad
agency copywriter who probably graduated 
from a desi school/college sporting the name of some
Christian saint ?
