Question

The river Tsangpo flows through ___________ before entering India?
A. Myanmar
B. Pakistan
C. Bangladesh
D. China

Answer 1

Hint: This country is located in East Asia. This nation is the largest of all Asian nations. An autonomous region called the "roof of the world" is associated with this country.

Complete Answer:
- Brahmaputra, renamed Yarlung Tsangpo in Tibet, Siang/Dihang River in Arunachal Pradesh and Luit, Dila in Assam, is a transboundary river that flows through Tibet, India and Bangladesh. It is the ninth largest river in the world by discharge, and the fifteenth longest.
 - The Brahmaputra River is known as the TsangPo River in Tibet and the Jamuna River in Bangladesh. It rises in Tibet, east of Mansarovar lake, very close to the Indus and Satluj springs.
- Upon reaching Namcha Barwa (7757 m), it takes a U turn and enters India through a gorge in Arunachal Pradesh. It's called the Dihang.
 - The Tsangpo River is the highest big river in the world. The longest tributary is the River Nyang. The major tributaries of Yarlung Tsangpo include the Nyangchu River, the Lhasa River, the Niyang River and Yarlung Tsangpo.

The following are the options:
- The Tsangpo River passes through Tibet, not Myanmar, before entering India. Thus, Option A is the wrong choice.
- The Tsangpo River does not pass through Pakistan until it reaches India. Thus, option B is also an incorrect alternative.
- It is not from Bangladesh but through Tibet that the Tsangpo River flows. Therefore, option C is also an incorrect option.
- The Tsangpo River flows through Tibet before entering India. Tibet, on the high Tibetan plateau on the northern side of the Himalayas, is an autonomous region of China. Thus, Choice D is the correct answer.

Therefore, Choice D is the correct answer.

Note: Leaving the Tibetan Plateau, the River is the highest and deepest canyon in the world, the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon. The river was nicknamed the "Everest of Rivers" because of the harsh conditions of the river. On 22 April 2010, China announced that the Zangmu Dam was indeed being constructed on the Brahmaputra in Tibet, but assured India that the project would have no direct impact on the downstream flow to India.
