<br/><br/> The Nilgiris are more than just a collage of people, hills, forests, meadows and wildlife; the mountainous range means many things to a diverse economy that exists not just in these mountains. People associated with the mountainous region are spread all over India and abroad. This is its predicament currently. The Nilgiris is the first United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization declared biosphere reserve in India. Being a region along the mountainous expanse of the Western Ghats, it is at a junction of three southern Indian states—Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. In all these three states, the mountains arise at their edges, rising into the skies shaded by clouds and a slightly dense atmosphere, earning its name—the blue mountains. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/51/book-reviews/montage-hills.html<br/>
