Tributaries of Indus River are the sub divisions of Indus River. Indus River is located in three different countries namely, Pakistan, India and China. Indus is a misnomer for Sindh Nadi, also known as the Sindhu in Sanskrit. The Indus River system is probably the first river system in India giving birth to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Therefore, Indus River is embedded in the history of India and has given the country its name.
