has gloss | eng: Sindhu was a kingdom mentioned in the epic Mahabharata. It stretched along the banks of river Sindhu (Indus) in the Ancient Greater India, which is now Pakistan. It is believed that Sindhu kingdom was founded by Vrsadarbh, one of sons of Sivi. According to the "Glimpses of Ancient Sindh" authored by Mirchandani, its capital known as Vrsadarbhpura, later known as Sindhu, was located at or near the location of the present town of Mithankot (in southern Punjab). The inhabitants of the kingdoms were called Sindhus or Saindhavas. According to the epic Mahabharata, Jayadratha (the husband of Duryodhana's sister) was the king of Sindhus, Sauviras and Sivis. Probably Sauvira and Sivi were two kingdoms close to the Sindhu kingdom and Jayadratha conquered them. Sindhu and Sauvira seems to be two warring states fighting each other but united by Jayadratha for some period of time. |
