About the Book:
This is a significant oeuvre on sharing of Indus water between the two South Asian neighbours such as India and Pakistan which have more often witnessed hostile rather than cordial ties since the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. On the basis of painstakingly gathered primary and secondary resources, this book unveils complex nuances in the water sharing project by examining the historical evolution of negotiations in their water related ties and by underlining the impact of such ties on the domestic politics of these two respective countries. Keeping the backdrop of politics of the Cold War and the Post-Cold War world in sight, this interdisciplinary study also sheds light on the growing significance of water as a critical resource in Indo-Pakistan ties, in particular, and in contemporary international relations, in general.
