MOTHER OF ALL ASIAN RIVERS, WATER TOWER OF ASIA | Rukor

MOTHER OF ALL ASIAN RIVERS, WATER TOWER OF ASIA | Rukor: "ABSTRACT: Potent new metaphors are forming in the ice above India: the third pole, the water tower of Asia, the engine of the monsoon, mother of all rivers of Asia. Like the classic metaphors of Gangotri and Kailash, realms of gods guaranteeing the icy purity of the waters of India, they conjure an image of Tibet as the protector of the whole of Asia, from the mouth of the Indus in Pakistan to the mouth of the Yellow River below Beijing."
