It has been worshipped as a god, used as a tool of imperial expansion, and today is the cement of Pakistan's fractious union. Alice Albinia follows the river upstream, through two thousand miles of geography and back to a time five thousand years ago when a string of sophisticated cities grew on its banks. \"This turbulent history, entwined with a superlative travel narrative\" (\u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e) leads us from the ruins of elaborate metropolises, to the bitter divisions of today.
