‘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.’
