The above statement is True.
Indus and Ganga are two prominent rivers in the Indian subcontinent that also hold historical significance. Some of the earliest cities, like the Harappan settlements about 4700 years ago, flourished on the banks of Indus and its tributaries- Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. Later, cities developed on the banks of the Ganga and its tributaries- Son and Chambal, and along the seacoasts about 2500 years ago. In ancient times, the area along the tributary rivers to the south of the Ganga was known as the Magadha, whose rulers were extremely powerful and succeeded in setting up a large kingdom.
