Sangh Parivar

Sindh:

You will be surprised:

The Capital of Sindh was Brahamand.

ie...Brahamand that is the universe.It has a Sun Temple. It had 11000 Brahmin preists.

The Vedas (Rigveda) praises the Sindhu, the cradle of Indian civilization.  ``Sindhu in might surpasses all the streams that flow.... His roar is lifted up to heaven above the earth; he puts forth endless vigour with a flash of light .... Even as cows with milk rush to their calves, so other rivers roar into the Sindhu. As a warrior- king leads other warriors, so does Sindhu lead other rivers.... Rich in good steeds is Sindhu, rich in gold, nobly fashioned, rich in ample wealth. In this hymn Sindhu, different from other rivers, is masculine.
Other references are, when the Vedic seer invokes heaven and earth, he also invokes the Sindhu. The Veda refers to the Ganga only twice; but it makes as many as thirty references to the Sindhu. This is the Great Sindhu that gave Sindh --- and Hind! --- its name.

Iranian and  Persian speech replaced 'S' with 'H' resulting in 'Sindhu' being pronounced and written as 'Hindu' In Ramayana Sindh was part of Dasaratha's empire. When Kekayi goes into a sulk, Dasaratha tells her: ``The sun does not set on my empire. Sindh, Sauvira, Saurashtra, Anga, Vanga, Magadha, Kashi, Koshal --- they are all mine. They produce an infinite variety of valuable articles. You can ask whatever you like.  When Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Rama sent the vanaras(monkeys) to look for her, among other places, in Sindh with its ``remarkable swimming horses.  Later, when all ended well, Rama gave Sindhu-Sauvira (the Sindh and Multan areas) to Bharata, who duly extended his rule farther north to Gandhara --- the home town of Gandhari of Mahabharata fame --- now Kandhar. His sons founded the cities of Peshawar (Pushkalavati) and Taxila (Takshasila). . Places in Sindh: Amri:a fortified city which was burnt down. Alor (Aror)-was known as the greatest city in Sindh and  was it’s capital.
