This is the kind of work that is urgently needed in our times- times marked by as the author writes, “the abatement of freshwater accentuated by groundwater depletion, salinity, pollution and reduction of surface water, contrasted by floods induced by climate change, engenders a precarious condition of “hydraulic vulnerability of marginalized groups in India.” The important point that Dr. Dasthagir points out is that “despite the universal proclamation of “water for all,” safe and adequate water is accessed unequally, with the effects of vulnerability disproportionately borne by groups and communities” across Indian society. The book shows how “water apart from being a natural and physical resource” is a socio-political entity embedded within structural inequities that define our societies- both within regions, nation states and globally
