This book examines India's transboundary river water disputes with its South Asian neighbours -- Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. It explores the history and politics of the transboundary river waters in this region as well as discusses current disputes and future concerns.

Review Quotes:

'Amit Ranjan offers an important perspective on water disputes in South Asia triggered by the Partition of the Subcontinent, deepened by the region's inability to depoliticise trans-boundary river water management, and sharpened by the new factors like climate change, and contributes to a better understanding of a major source of regional conflict in South Asia.'
