GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -The Indus River begins in the mountains of China (Tibet region) and flows through India and Pakistan before emptying into the Arabian Sea. It was a vital water source during the early years of human civilization because few other sources of water existed in the region.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Indus River, which flows from the Himalays and is located mainly in present-day Pakistan, is the cradle of ancient Indian civilization. As in Egypt and Kush, the flooding river created fertile plains where people first settled.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flowing southward through Pakistan and emptying into the Arabian Sea, the Indus River has supported agriculture for millennia. Fed by glaciers in the Himalaya and Karakoram mountain ranges-and by Asian monsoon rains-the river experiences substantial fluctuations every year.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Indus River rises near Mansarovar in Tibet and flows through India, Pakistan, and finally falls into the Arabian Sea near Karachi. The important tributaries flowing in Indian territory are the Sutlej (originating in Tibet), Beas, Ravi, Chenab, and Jhelum.
