I am trying to find information ON the Indus river valley and i cant so we need a better internet source
I inserted a "citation needed" under the claim that the Indus river civilization had used irrigation. as far as I know there is no evidence for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guykom ( talk • contribs) 09:20, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
In the section 'Modern Issues' the claim was made "India had gained control of the mouth of the river after the first Kashmir war" ! Well, India never had control of the mouth to start with - it has always been in Pakistan - the Indus delta. I am not sure if the author understands what the 'mouth' of a river implies. Another claim that was made in this section was that the Pakistan government was allowing Hindu temples on its banks. Now talk about living in a cloud cuckoo land! In the section 'Indus Waters Treaty' reference was made to the Baghlighar hydroelectric project. The implication was that this was on the Indus - which it is not case, it is projected to be on the Chenab in the Jammu region, and does not involve diversion of water for irrigation. It is my understanding that the Indus Waters Treaty allows for this kind of usage. As anybody who has been to the upper reaches of Ladakh and Zanskar (the regions through which the Indus flow in India) can tell you, India has a snowball's chance in hell of being able to make use of the Indus' water.

The Avestan, as mentioned Vendidad, Fargard 1:18, is indeed Hindu (or more properly, hiṇdu), but the Avestan looks like this (third line of definition, directly preceding "Vd. …"), not 'حندو'. If anything, هِندُ might come closer in transliteration, but is still an anachronistic script for the ancient Iranians to have used. Roman transliteration is probably preferable in lieu of an image file utilizing an Avestan font. Khirad ( talk) 20:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
The list appears wrong to me at least in the usual use of the term tributary. Tthe list contains some rivers which are just tributaries to the tributaries of the Indus (like Beas or Jhelum)--- Kmhkmh ( talk) 23:54, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
The article mentions that the term "India" was used only for what is now Pakistan till the arrival of the British:
The word "India" is a reference to the Indus River. In ancient times, "India" referred to the region of modern-day Pakistan along the Indus river which traded extensively with the ancient world. It was only after the arrival of the British in the sixteenth century that name began to be applied to the entire region.
The above is incorrect. The word "India" has been used for most of what is now the Indian Subcontinent, since 300 BC. Megasthenes describes India as the land beyond the Indus, the Indus forming its western boundary.
B.C. c. 300. -- "India then (H( TOI/NUN *)INDIKH\) being four-sided in plan, the side which looks to the Orient and that to the South, the Great Sea compasseth; that towards the Arctic is divided by the mountain chain of Hēmōdus from Scythia, inhabited by that tribe of Scythians who are called Sakai; and on the fourth side, turned towards the West, the Indus marks the boundary, the biggest or nearly so of all rivers after the Nile." -- Megasthenes, in Diodorus, ii. 35. (From Müller's Fragm. Hist. Graec., ii. 402.)
and
c. 590. -- "As for the land of the Hind it is bounded on the East by the Persian Sea (i.e. the Indian Ocean), on the W. and S. by the countries of Islām, and on the N. by the Chinese Empire. . . . The length of the land of the Hind from the government of Mokrān, the country of Manṣūra and Bodha and the rest of Sind, till thou comest to Ḳannūj and thence passest on to Tobbat (see TIBET), is about 4 months, and its breadth from the Indian Ocean to the country of Ḳannūj about three months."-<-> Istakhri, pp. 6 and 11.
and
" "Hind is surrounded on the East by Chín and Máchín, on the West by Sind and Kábul, and on the South by the Sea."-<-> Ibid. in Elliot, i. 45.

The upper classes were treated very well and didn't have to work usually. The more lower classes had to work and pay their taxes. Farmers were the lowest class and they had to grow enough crops for their community and to stock up in stores.

Why the unsourced paragraph that is tagged since 2012 was restored? I restored the version I observed last time, [8] which was stable for years and even the version until this May [9] was not really problematic. No sources could support such assertion, that's why I restored what could be sourced and have added sources now, also tagged infobox percentage claims for now.

This Article claims in its etymology/naming section that Sindh... means "ocean". In the article "hindustan" though you may find this sentence: "Hence, the Rigvedic sapta sindhava (the land of seven rivers) became hapta hindu in the Avesta." which seems to imply that Sindh... can also mean "river" and that seems to be more logical in the name of a ... river. Any Sanskrit speakers around that could clarify it and/or put the correct version in the regarding article? -- 176.199.184.48 ( talk) 13:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

The Indus river is known as the Sindh Darya, Darya e Sindh and Mehran in Pakistan where it flows. Putting Sindhu at the head without Darya e Sindh is wrong since Darya e Sindh is a much more popular name in it's own land than Sindhu, which basically isn't even used anywhere except Sindh province. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehtar10 ( talk • contribs) 13:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm noting that I have made the lead paragraph and the infobox image and map identical to other major South Asian river, the Ganges. I have rewritten the lead paragraph in the language of geography. I have removed the disputed present-day national boundaries from the map of the Indus river course and basin. I've added an iconic image that defines both the Indus and the Himalayas. It is essential for a standard NPOV format. I know admins don't like to be pinged about commonplace things, so I'm asking only that you keep an eye. RegentsPark Doug Weller, Vanamonde93, Bishonen, Johnuniq, and Drmies now and then. Also noting this for Kautilya3 and Johnbod Fowler&fowler «Talk» 22:36, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't understand the rationale here. What's the problem with showing the current borders (as they are shown by most/almost all maps of the area anyhow)?
And even if for some reason "disputed" border should not be displayed, then why using a map with (partial) borders at all. The main point of the of the current map is illustrate the river's watershed with all its tributaries, the borders and the coastline were only added to provide better general orientation/recognition when you want to compare it or place it in standard geographic maps (because those maps usually carry borders).-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 02:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
By the way there is also a minor techinal issue here as well. The original graphic was a svg file (WP preferred format for such drawings). So if you create a derivative, it would be better to stick to the original format rather than switching to less preferred format for such drawings.-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 02:14, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

"3,180 km (1,980 mi) as Mapped. 3,249 km (2,019 mi) actual as mentioned in History Books."
Confused by this. Does this mean it used to be 3,249 km? When? What history books? Why "actual"? Is it not fully mapped? -- Mocha2007 ( talk) 11:04, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
And a final note - I have tracked down the probable source of the 3610 figure as this 2011 announcement https://www.dawn.com/news/656472/earthly-matters-origins-of-the-indus (though it rounds to 3600). However, while this team published their results from an earlier run in 2007, I can't find any formal publication of this figure other than the press release / news stories!
It probably lines up with the source being off to the NE as in the Water Atlas, but it's a bit unclear. This figure probably also represents a full-scale remeasuring, not just tacking on a bit extra to the source - the older figures had been around quite a while and there seems to have been a bit of river movement since then, including the big changes in the south which the article mentions. Will have a think about how to incorporate this. Andrew Gray ( talk) 14:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
India shouldn't be listed along with China and Pakistan in the countries section of the infobox. The river doesn't run through India proper as it runs through China and Pakistan - it runs through the disputed territory of Kashmir, and by listing India in the countries section the article is pushing the POV that Kashmir is an integral part of India. You could replace India with "Indian administered Kashmir," or simply "Kashmir."
If India is to remain in the countries section, it should be italicized or a cross/star should be added to note that the river flows through a region where India's sovereignty is disputed. Joooshhh ( talk) 16:18, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

The upper classes were treated very well and didn't have to work usually. The more lower classes had to work and pay their taxes. Farmers were the lowest class and they had to grow enough crops for their community and to stock up in stores. Farmers also had to pay their taxes in food. 99.177.216.75 ( talk) 03:40, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
I don't think the Sindh River is the only one which has a masculine form. Brahmaputra (son of Brahma) is masculine as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solomonsunder ( talk • contribs) 07:46, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Why the unsourced paragraph that is tagged since 2012 was restored? I restored the version I observed last time, [8] which was stable for years and even the version until this May [9] was not really problematic. No sources could support such assertion, that's why I restored what could be sourced and have added sources now, also tagged infobox percentage claims for now.

This Article claims in its etymology/naming section that Sindh... means "ocean". In the article "hindustan" though you may find this sentence: "Hence, the Rigvedic sapta sindhava (the land of seven rivers) became hapta hindu in the Avesta." which seems to imply that Sindh... can also mean "river" and that seems to be more logical in the name of a ... river. Any Sanskrit speakers around that could clarify it and/or put the correct version in the regarding article? -- 176.199.184.48 ( talk) 13:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Introduction says that river flows through India (Jammu and Kashmir) and Ladakh region of Jammu Kashmir. Now that Ladakh is a Union terriority of its own, independent from Jammu Kashmir, We should change it to "Ladakh" wherever required. Abhijithn207 ( talk) 08:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

The Indus river is known as the Sindh Darya, Darya e Sindh and Mehran in Pakistan where it flows. Putting Sindhu at the head without Darya e Sindh is wrong since Darya e Sindh is a much more popular name in it's own land than Sindhu, which basically isn't even used anywhere except Sindh province. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehtar10 ( talk • contribs) 13:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I'm noting that I have made the lead paragraph and the infobox image and map identical to other major South Asian river, the Ganges. I have rewritten the lead paragraph in the language of geography. I have removed the disputed present-day national boundaries from the map of the Indus river course and basin. I've added an iconic image that defines both the Indus and the Himalayas. It is essential for a standard NPOV format. I know admins don't like to be pinged about commonplace things, so I'm asking only that you keep an eye.

I don't understand the rationale here. What's the problem with showing the current borders (as they are shown by most/almost all maps of the area anyhow)?
And even if for some reason "disputed" border should not be displayed, then why using a map with (partial) borders at all. The main point of the of the current map is illustrate the river's watershed with all its tributaries, the borders and the coastline were only added to provide better general orientation/recognition when you want to compare it or place it in standard geographic maps (because those maps usually carry borders).-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 02:07, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
By the way there is also a minor techinal issue here as well. The original graphic was a svg file (WP preferred format for such drawings). So if you create a derivative, it would be better to stick to the original format rather than switching to less preferred format for such drawings.-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 02:14, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

"3,180 km (1,980 mi) as Mapped. 3,249 km (2,019 mi) actual as mentioned in History Books."
Confused by this. Does this mean it used to be 3,249 km? When? What history books? Why "actual"? Is it not fully mapped? -- Mocha2007 ( talk) 11:04, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
And a final note - I have tracked down the probable source of the 3610 figure as this 2011 announcement https://www.dawn.com/news/656472/earthly-matters-origins-of-the-indus (though it rounds to 3600). However, while this team published their results from an earlier run in 2007, I can't find any formal publication of this figure other than the press release / news stories!
It probably lines up with the source being off to the NE as in the Water Atlas, but it's a bit unclear. This figure probably also represents a full-scale remeasuring, not just tacking on a bit extra to the source - the older figures had been around quite a while and there seems to have been a bit of river movement since then, including the big changes in the south which the article mentions. Will have a think about how to incorporate this. Andrew Gray ( talk) 14:10, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
India shouldn't be listed along with China and Pakistan in the countries section of the infobox. The river doesn't run through India proper as it runs through China and Pakistan - it runs through the disputed territory of Kashmir, and by listing India in the countries section the article is pushing the POV that Kashmir is an integral part of India. You could replace India with "Indian administered Kashmir," or simply "Kashmir."
If India is to remain in the countries section, it should be italicized or a cross/star should be added to note that the river flows through a region where India's sovereignty is disputed. Joooshhh ( talk) 16:18, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello. Is there another page going more into detail about geography like the Indus Valley and other places? Because I think it could use more elaborating on. GoutComplex ( talk) 16:53, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
