The mention of which of the following rivers in the Rigveda shows intimate association of Aryans with Afghanistan?
(1) Kubha
(2) Krumu
(3) Gomati (Gomal)
(4) Sutudri
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Kubha is the Kabul River, Krumu the Kurram and the specified Gomati the Gomal. These names point to the northwestern Afghan frontier and adjoining river system known to the Rigvedic poets. Sutudri is the Sutlej in the Punjab region, so it does not supply the particular Afghan association asked about. Hence 1, 2 and 3 are selected.
