About the Book
This book presents a long-term historical study of a flood-prone region in the mid-Ganga basin, examining how the perception of the river by local communities has shifted from being a beneficial resource to a problematic force. It analyzes the impact of British colonial policies, which disrupted traditional relationships between the people and the river, and explores the subsequent transformations in landscape, agriculture, and cropping patterns that have evolved since the early modern period.
Combining historical research with environmental analysis, this work offers valuable insights for scholars, students, and readers interested in the history of the Ganga region, colonial policy, and human-environment interactions in South Asia.
