It is a pure master class on the Indus’s transformation from a cog in military strategy into a source of conflict and cooperation post 1947. A treasure for scholars and policymakers alike’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e—Ashutosh Misra—\u003cbr\u003eSouth Asia expert and CEO, Institute for Australia India Engagement, Brisbane \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e'Civilizations have adjusted and transformed over thousands of years in the Indus basin, adapting to the magnificent river system which itself changed constantly. Yet, society always craved continuity, and in that process created the largest public surface water irrigation system in the world. Uttam Sinha brilliantly describes the unceasing changes and the search for stability through wise development of the water resources network. With an eye for strategic dimensions, regional and local competition for water and related power plays, he discusses the history leading to the Indus Treaty. That the treaty itself had to decussate multiple objectives, needs, intrigues and strategic concerns is a lesson for reconciliations everywhere. This book will interest a wide array of readers’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e—Junaid Ahmad—\u003cbr\u003eCountry Director for India, World Bank\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"description-heading\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"about-author-text\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eUttam Kumar Sinha is a leading commentator on transboundary water issues.
