Indus River
The Indus (Sindh darya), known as Sindhu to Indians and in Sanskrit, as Sinthos in Greek, and Sindus in Latin, is the principal river of Pakistan. Before the partition of India into the modern states of India and Pakistan in 1947, The Indus was second only to the Ganges in terms of cultural and commercial importance for the region, and also gave its name to the country of India. The river originates in Tibet, flowing from the Himalaya in a north-westernly direction through Kashmir, and then turning south for nearly the entire length of Pakistan. Figures for the total length of the river vary between 2900 and 3200 km. The Indus Valley Civilization had some of the earliest urban settlements in the world.
