Ravi Reclaimed: Shaping Punjabs Past & Redefining Its Future
The countless stories which Ravi has been carrying through times of yore cannot be appropriated by a mere 78 years of conflict narrative between India and Pakistan COLONEL SATISH SINGH LALOTRA For centuries, the river Ravi has flowed through the heart of Punjabs history, culture and civilisation. Revered in ancient texts, celebrated in folklore, and crucial to the agricultural prosperity of the region, Ravi has been much more than a watercourse. Flowing through myriad names, the kind of which most of Indians may not be even aware of, viz., Vedic Parushni, Puranic Irvati, Greek Hydraotes, river Ravi is one such water body of our sub-continent which is arguably the most talked about, referred as well as venerated that meets its more than equal in the form of the Indus. It is not for nothing that the ubiquitous phrase- Heth Vage Ravi Darya or Below flows the river Ravi became the sine qua non in most of the songs and stories of Punjab, both past and contemporary. Most of the contemporary writers and poets of the Punjabi language in India lament that Punjabis have always written poetry and even prose around their rivers that have been left back in Pakistan. Whereas Pakistan, on the other hand, thinks most of Punjabs rivers have been left back in India. This is true more so in the case of the river Ravi, unlike other rivers of the Indus basin. With 23rd April 2026 having gone past, reminding all of us of the completion of more than one year of the holding in abeyance of the IWT ( Indus Water Treaty) in the wake of the infamous Pahalgam attack by Pakistan-based terrorists, it is time to cast a glance at one of the major river systems of this IWT ( Ravi) from an altogether different perspective. That of a water system which has bound both warring nations (India & Pakistan), ranging from livelihood, customs, culture, poetry and literature with each other for aeons. Unlike other rivers of the Indus basin, the Ravi is fed more by monsoon than by glaciers. Though having a modest yield, Ravis impact on the ecology and on human societies has been deep and nothing short of being stupendous. It would be worth each drop of water of the river Ravi to undertake a short ethnographical view of this water system on the eve of the first year of its scrapping( though temporarily) of the IWT by India that will enable the readers of this column of mine to understand its connection with its people, on both sides of the Radcliff line. Those who worship it, fear it, and on whose banks in 1929 the clarion call for the independence of India ( Poorna swaraj) was given by the first PM, Nehru, Ravi still rules the mental firmament of this sub-continent as no other river system. The precursor to this write-up of mine stemmed from my recent train journey ( Rajdhani Express) while coming back from my home town Jammu to Delhi and crossing the river Ravi that has been the traditional boundary between the erstwhile state of J&K and Punjab for centuries. The sight of still damaged Madhopur barrage on this river, wrought by last years torrential rains in August 2025, jolted me back to the stark realities of todays geopolitical situation as it confronts our sub-continent. The fact that the Pakistani side of Punjab was as badly affected by this rivers raging waves last monsoon as was the Indian side needs no elaboration. That river Ravi stood at the crossroads of all major historical events of this sub-continent dating back to the Indus valley civilisation circa 3300-2800 BC, so central that the first phase of Harappan urban development has been aptly named as Ravi phase is in itself a statement that needs no further elucidation. The fact that even the British placed this water body in the 1846 Treaty of Amritsar as a vital geographical and political boundary to define the newly formed borders of the Dogra princely state of J&K under its suzerainty, marking the regions official transition from Sikh rule to Dogra ownership, underscores Ravis relevance across myriad time lines. As if this was not enough, astounding discoveries talk of rosewood and deodar logs floating down the river 5000 years ago. Fish caught in its paleo channels forming an important part of the diet and surprisingly advanced urban development adapting to floods rather than merely fighting them, Ravi has much to offer to its admirers, cutting across myriad time lines. The fall of urban Harappa is also traced to the decisive avulsion of the river away from the settlement. As river Parushni in Rigveda, circa 1500 BC, Ravis banks were the battleground for Dashrajna or the war of the Ten kings. Indira, the lord of the free-flowing rivers, is described as crossing the woolly foam of Parushni. And even today, Gaddi shepherds set off on their long remembered migratory routes with woolly sheep along this river. Somewhere around the 5th century BC, ancient grammarian Yaska recorded that the Parushni of the Rig-Veda is same as Iravati. It is Iravati that is found in Ramayana and Mahabharata, where Sita found refuge in its forested banks. Yaksa saysThey call it Iravati as Parushni; a mountain river with a sinuous path. In the headwater forests deep in the valleys of Himachal Pradesh are found the conifer trees going by the name Rei, and hence the name of Ravi. In the 4th century BC, Alexander of Macedonia sailed the Ravi several times, forded it and, as was his habit, drove the native tribes to a bloody battle. The Greeks recorded the river as Hydraotis or Hyarotis at that time. If one goes further upstream in Himachal Pradesh, the headwaters of the Ravi were always the lifeline of the relatively isolated Chamba kingdom. The river system connected high mountain passes and fierce deities with the capitals of Bharmour and Chamba. The ancient Manimahesh Kailash yatra still traces its origins from this
