| | Indus River - Biocrawler |
 | | The Indus (&;) (known as Sindhu to Indians and in Sanskrit, as Sinthos in Greek, and Sindus in Latin) is the principal river of Pakistan. | | | Its name comes from the Sanskrit word for river, 'sindhu', from which the 's' was dropped by its adoption into Persian. | | | This gave the Persians the name of the land associated with the river 'Hindu' and the Greeks, dropping the 'H', 'Indus'. |

| | As some experts see it, the five geographical regions, to which Musharraf is referring, and which also conform to the religious map, are: Ladakh (the Ismaili part between the Himalayas and the Indus), Kargil/Dras (Muslim), Poonch (Muslim, contiguous to Azad Kashmir), Jammu (Muslim-majority districts) and the Valley (Muslim). | | | But, if Musharraf suggests that the Indian side is in control of five regions, it could only be possible if the areas or regions were indeed divided on the basis of religion, or geography. | | | Then, again, one can hardly say whether his mind will be focused on the future of Indo-Pak relations when river waters become scarce and water treaties come under pressure. |
