Explanation:

The Ganges or Ganga is the longest river of India, if we consider the total distance covered by a river within India. Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent ? Brahmaputra and Indus ? are though longer than the Ganges, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganges.
