Answer 1

Indian Desha mentioned in the ancient texts linked the Ganga and Yamuna river systems and the Punjab to Central Asia

Explanation:

• "Ancient Indian" texts speak of the "Indian subcontinent's" five "geographical components": "Madhya Desha"/middle country; "Uttarapatha" or "northern India"; "Prachya/eastern India"; and "Aparanta/west India"; "Dakshinapatha"/"southern India".
• The "center of gravity" of this "five-fold division" was deeply rooted in "Madhya Desha", also identified as "Aryavarta/the birthplace" of the early "Aryans", and its "symbolic frontier" stretched from the west in the dry region of "Haryana", where the "Saraswati River" was lost in sand & reached the east in a "comparatively less" "arid region", where the "Saraswati" was "believed to surface" & meet the "convergence of the "Saraswati "
• The "Sanskrit" term "patha" refers to a road, so "Dakshinapath" & "Uttarapatha" meant the "north & south" paths. Both of "India's" "long-distance" routes remained "vital for transportation" & "movement" until the "19th century", when the "railroads" were laid largely parallel to those ancient road lines.
• Whereas "Uttarapatha" linked the "river systems" of the "Yamuna" & "Ganga", & the "Punjab" to & "Central West Asia", "Dakshinapatha"/the "southern route" linked "Madhya Desha", the "Deccan Plateau", & "Malwa". Interestingly, all these roads travel through the "semi-arid zone's" "eastern & southern" expanses.
