Hello, hopefully this helps you!
The Suez Canal is a man-made waterway connecting the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea. It enables a more direct route for shipping between Europe and Asia, effectively allowing for passage from the North Atlantic to the Indian Ocean without having to circumnavigate the African continent.
It would be the "Western Ghats" that prevents moisture from the summer monsoon winds from reaching the interior of the subcontinent, since its positioning is such that any excess winds are diverted.
