c3.s3.t2.2

The kingdom of Sivi appears to have been very ancient. The Śiva people of the *Ṛgveda*⁵ perhaps occupied this kingdom. During the time of Alexander the Great, there were the Siboi people. “It is probable,” says Raychaudhury, “that Śiva, Sivi and Siboi were one and the same people, . . . . inhabitants of the Shorkot region in Jhang.”⁶
