Important Notes
- Important Note: This is a tricky question
- Ganga is LONGEST overall but originates from Gangotri Glacier in Uttarakhand (India). Godavari originates from Trimbakeshwar (Maharashtra). Both originate IN India. So Ganga is actually the longest river originating in India. The distinction would be: Indus originates from Tibet (outside India). Brahmaputra from Tibet. The question might be about peninsular rivers only
- then Godavari wins. Careful reading of question context is essential!
