I thought it was the area where 5 rivers came together. No?

Slight correction. I guess this would be referred to as the punjab region. This should not be confused with poon job, poon tang or any of the sort. :Q

hundreds.... literally.
15 languages are recognised by the constitution, have official status, and appear on each and every bank note. that's right, it says "100 Rupees" or whatever else it's worth, in 15 langauges! only one of which is English....
