Introduction
Punjab : Land of five rivers
Punjab derives its name from two Persian words,
panj (five) and aab (water), having
reference to the five rivers which
confer on the country i.e
- PUNJ (5/five) + AAB (river)
These rivers run between Indus and Jamna,
and their names, in succession, eastward
from the Indus, are Jhelum, Chenab,
Ravi, Bias and Sutlej
