| Summary/Abstract |
The United Nation estimates, more than half of the world population will sustain in water-stressed or water-scarce countries by 2025. South Asia is water scare region. China and India are fighting for resources along with the Brahmaputra River, which runs through parts of Asia that have been prone to territorial conflicts.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Himalayan river system, which is made up of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers, has a combined drainage area that covers the countries of China, India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The basin of the Indus river, which originates in the Tibetan plateau, is the lifeline of regions in China, Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. The perception of the subcontinent being an India-centric region does not arise solely from the disparities in resources and power, but also from the geographic reality of all countries in the region sharing a border with India, and some of the most significant rivers passing through its territory. India, thus, stands in a unique position to initiate vigorous multilateral cooperation on water issues in the region. Despite this, the low level of integration, perennial conflicts, mistrust and misinformation that have plagued relations between South Asian countries have hindered regional cooperation on water security.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water resource-related issues originate from sharing of river water, population explosion, urbanization, industrialization and environmental degradation. If the river has a trans-national or inter-state course, it can intensify international or national disputes over water. Water disputes have turned into complex realities of the international world order. “Too often, where we need water, we find guns instead” stated by Ban Ki-Moon 2008 sums up the distresses.

| Summary/Abstract |
Orthodox approaches to managing Himalayan rivers endorse a singular focus on water as a resource to be harnessed for national security and economic progress, as epitomised by the proposed acceleration of large-scale hydropower construction in the Brahmaputra basin. In reality, existing large-scale hydropower development in the region frequently involves corruption, environmental destruction and forced displacement. This paper argues for an alternative approach to understanding the role of water in India's extractive zones within and beyond the boundaries of the nation, utilising the notions of ‘embeddedness’, ‘hydro-informality’ and ‘rescaling politics’. It is argued that reframing the river in this way can open up space for more just and sustainable practices.

| Summary/Abstract |
China is a thirsty country desperately in need of water-a lot of it. In order to meet its water and energy requirements in the densely populated and fertile northern plains, it is successively making interventions in the Tibetan rivers in the southern part through dams and diversions. While China is well within its riparian rights to do so, a set of externalities involving the principles of water-sharing and lower riparian needs-stretching from Afghanistan to Vietnam-raise concerns. Politically controlling Tibet and thereby having control over the mighty rivers that originate there allows Beijing to overcome its uneven water distribution but also importantly gives its leaders strategic width and diplomatic clout for dealing with its neighbours. Based on the theoretical framework of power and hydro-hegemony this article examines how China's hydro-behaviour on the Brahmaputra (Yarlung Ysangpo) could impact power relations with India and what India's counter-hydro-hegemony strategy should be.

| Summary/Abstract |
Freshwater, the most important of all-natural resources, has emerged as a key source of conflict in various parts of the world. Accessing freshwater and equitable sharing is a major concern for world communities. Water conflicts and intrastate hydro politics over the Trans Boundary River would adversely affect and shape world politics in the twenty-first century. The Brahmaputra basin is the world’s most populated region.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses the hydro-political behaviour of riparian countries in the Mekong River Basin (MRB) vis-à-vis India’s attitude towards the Brahmaputra and upstream China. It analyses transboundary water cooperation in the MRB and the active participation of the stakeholders and then compares it with the Brahmaputra River Basin (BRB). It argues that the water management practices in the MRB are comparatively more ‘effective’ while the BRB is receding in this regard. It analyses various aspects of promoting the North East Region (NER) as a paradiplomatic agent in the BRB in a way Yunnan is performing in the MRB.
