Historian Sudipta Sen unravels the story of the Ganges, from the communities that arose on its banks to merchants that navigated its waters, and how it came to occupy a center-stage in the history and culture of the subcontinent. Weaving together geography, environmental politics, and religious history, Sen's lavishly illustrated volume is a remarkable portrait of one of the world's largest and most densely populated river basins.
