Description

This is a history of the political, social, and environmental transformation of the Indus basin as a result of the modern construction of the world’s largest, integrated irrigation system. Historically a largely arid region with a mix of agriculture and pastoralism, the Indus basin became one of the world’s most heavily irrigated river basins by the second half of the twentieth century. Begun under British colonial rule in the nineteenth century, this transformation continued after the region was divided between two new states, India and Pakistan, in 1947. This is the first large-scale environmental history of the Indus basin and explores how environmental transformation is tied to the formation of communities and nations, focusing on the intersection between politics, statecraft, and the environment.
