"Hydaspes (Jhelum River)" is a cross-genre category for books that center on the Jhelum—ancient Hydaspes—as a geographical, historical and symbolic axis. Titles in this category range from classical and military history (notably Alexander the Great’s clash with King Porus) and archaeological and regional studies, to travelogues, environmental and water‑policy analyses, ethnography, folklore, and lyrical fiction or poetry that treat the river as a living character. These works examine the river’s role in shaping local cultures of Kashmir and Punjab, its importance in trade, settlement and sacred practices, and its changing fate under colonial interventions, dams and modern geopolitics. Readers can expect deep engagement with landscape, memory and conflict—ancient and contemporary—where hydrology, identity and power intersect.
