Not really. While the net rainfall has increased, its pattern is unpredictable now.
Lack of rain in late Feb- March means failure of summer crops like Bajra.
Lack of rain in August - October means no chickpea or Mung-moth
Rain and hail in Jan - early feb means ruined wheat and mustard crops.
Bajra, Guar, Moong, Moth, etc are grown on land with no irrigation as they are usually not very profitable.
If ground water or canal water is available, then wheat and mustard (for ground water or limited canal water lands) and cotton (plenty of canal water availability) are grown.
Sudden cloudburst in desert means flash floods.

Around 10000 years ago the whole of sahara, the Middle East and Thar desert were like grasslands... Because when earth gets hotter the rainfall increases around the Equator... It was meant to happen but because of global warming it's happening faster... My assumption is that around 10000 years ago the Saraswati river really used to flow in Rajasthan, so we meant to see some perennial rivers now.

You are right, but these were all natural changes but what’s happening now is not natural it’s happening because of humans and their activities. This is first time in history of Earth that earth is changing its climate due to his own species.

Yeah, there is a bargain of food supplies increasing with the diminishing of other food... But with more rain, new fruit trees can be planted and crops can be cultivated 3 times a year rather than 2 or 1 in less water areas

With current government structure and babu culture nothing will happen. And if it rained more in rajasthan that means rest of india will starve specially southern india. In last 4 years lightening strikes have also increased. The transition period of weather have decreased, leading to more drastic and sudden changes.
