"Punjab (Hydaspes)" as a book-category signals works focused on the Punjab region with an explicit nod to its classical identity (Hydaspes, the ancient name for the Jhelum River) and to the region’s river-centered landscapes and long historical reach. It covers history from antiquity (Alexander’s campaign and the Battle of the Hydaspes) through medieval and Mughal eras, Sikh sovereignty, colonial rule and Partition, to contemporary politics and diaspora; it also embraces cultural studies (languages, literature, music, Sufi and Sikh traditions), archaeology, geography and river ecology, agrarian and urban change, and travel writing. The label suits interdisciplinary scholarship, narrative histories, fiction and poetry rooted in Punjab’s places and memory, and comparative studies of imperial encounters and cultural syncretism across both Indian and Pakistani Punjab and its global diasporas.
