The early Vedic people lived in the area of seven rivers included Sindhu, Vitasta(Jhelum), Askini(Chenab), Parushni(Ravi) Vipash(Beas), Shutudri(Sutlej) and the Saraswati. In this area of the Rigvedic people lived, fought battles, grazed their herds of cattle and other domesticated animals. Gradually moving eastward, they came to occupy Eastern U.P. (Kosala) and the North Bihar(Videha) during the Later Vedic period. Here they came into contact with the people who spoke languages different from their own and where living in this area for long.
