About the Book
Rivers, in India, a crucial part of the hydrological cycle, are in a perilous state. In order to draw attention to the conservation of rivers in a holistic manner. River Ganga is much moe than a river for the people of India. Over millennia, it has been India's civilizational identity. She is worshipped as an all-forgiving goddess capable of washing away a believer's accumulated sins and as a mother without whose amrit (nactar) the life journey of a believer from birth to death is incomplete. In more recent times, to its devotees its divinity appears to have been reaffirmed by scientific confirmation of its unique self-cleansing ability and curative health properties. The theme for the event in 2018, was 'Can India Rejuvenate River Ganga?' This book is a result of that event. Much delayed owing to successive years of pandemic the book is a serious effort to promote and strengthen holistic efforts to rejuvenate River Ganga.
