Following the Indus and its tributaries through the ages to present times, Kamal Azfar shows how Pakistan is a mirror to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation. He argues that the territories that now constitute the country are not an accident of history, but form a natural, political and federal union with an economy that is tied to Sapt Sindh, the 'Land of the Seven Rivers.'
Linking the first seven decades of Pakistan to the history and geography of the land, this book includes chapters on the Indus and its tributaries, its bards and writers, its folk tales, poetry and mysticism, and connects it all to the creation of the country, its economy, and the concept of bilateralism as the keystone of foreign policy.
