Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this dissertation I study how law and society in India have addressed the issue of human right to water, in two different issues on access and pollution in the Narmada dam case and Ganga Pollution case respectively. I study the process through which water rights claims are incorporated in domestic legal cultures. In this study I demonstrate two things- one is the acceptance of the cosmopolitan environmentalism in India that builds through a plural framework that incorporates international environmental norms, constitutional principles and local customary practices. The adaptation of a plural framework of law integrates cultural differences and livelihood needs with the demands of environment. Second, I argue that the core of this environmental belief is built on a syncretic interaction between the global rights debate, social responsibility to protect nature and livelihood concerns, which is an important characteristic of the Indian legal culture.
