JHELUM’S LOCATION AND BRIEF HISTORY
—In ancient days

reportedly derived from two words JAL(pure water) and HAM(snow).
The name thus refers to the waters of river Jhelum which have their origin in
the snow capped Himalayas. The name of this river written in Rag-e-Vaid is Watasta. The origin of this
