This volume identifies existing statist approaches and political
economies of river management in South Asia. These rivers are
heavily suffering from millions of people who in contrast consider
them as holy and worship them. Edited by Professor Imtiaz Ahmed,
the contributors of this book from India, Nepal and Pakistan are
leading readers on a journey through the transboundary rivers of
South Asia where rivers are vital for the life and living. The book
explains why the region needs a framework for cooperation on the
wellbeing of these rivers. River management is the key to
sustaining healthy river systems. The authors stress that right of
the rivers must be codified and guaranteed by the state and the
people in South Asia. However, the statist approach to the
transboundary rivers in South Asia actually conceives them as
national rivers. This volume contributes to the current campaign of
overcoming the water dystopias in South Asia.
