Can someone a neutral answer about how this is going to impact Bangladesh. River water should be shared according to international law and should be kept away from politics.
Ok then. Bangladesh shouldnt have any concerns if we divert some 20% of Brahmaputra water. Southern India do face droughts often.
Thank you Bangladeshi![]()

Plus we will kick out two million or so
What else? Anyway river disputes should be solved diplomatically through discussions between every stakeholdersIf the overall flow in Brahmaputra reduces significantly, then salt water from sea will enter southern portions of Bangladesh, making the soil saline and infertile.
Hasina is looking after her country's interest, we should look after ours.

Certainly, it will be a cause of concern for us if India diverts any more water from the common rivers including Brahmaputra. China needs water to its middle zone to develop agriculture. But, in any case it will not be able to take all the water in the north of the Himalaya.
Chinese water diversions won't affect Bangladesh as per the Bangladeshis, so we must not compensate for whatever water China diverts, let Bangladesh take the entire hit.
Exactly...We have a right too. Let the ingrates lick chini butts and suffer the consequences.

I do not think, Indian agriculture will suffer if China withdraws water on condition that the latter builds reservoir to collect monsoon/snowfall precipitation at the north of the Himalaya. This will regularize the flow of water throughout the year almost evenly. This will result in less flood in BD and more water in dry season in Assam and BD.What about India? Dont we have people who do agriculture? Though I accept its topographically impossible to divert Brahmaputra water into Indian mainland.

My point was somehow China has been successful in convincing Jamatis, with some return of favour like an assurance to get them to power in BD and Jamatis have agreed that they will only extract water from India and avoid making of any work China does on Brahmaputra.
Most crucially China is our strategic security, defence and economic partner.I don't believe they will do any thing with the intention to harm Bangladesh.They have withdrawn all the tariff on Bangladeshi export on all items.Our export in China is increasing rapidly.They are our largest trade partner.Both China and Bangladesh know each other's importance.Chinese portion of Brahmaputra river generate only about 14-20 percent of total water flow.Most of the water comes from Indian north east.So Chinese dam can't hold much water to harm Bangladesh in any meaningful way.That is not the case. China is working with Sheikh Hasina closely, recently granting billions of loan and weapons like submarine. In fact our relations have never been this close.
If you really want to know why all Bangladeshis irrespective of political polarization including Anti Jamatis like and support China... then know that they don't meddle in our internal politics whereas India obviously is closer to one party. They do not shoot our people and do not create trade barriers intentionally.
Indian also know this,still they are trying to create a fissure between Bangladesh and China.It is a shame that even the Tripura governor had to resort to this cheap tactic at the presence of Bangladeshi delegation in Assam.It is obvious that China will take only a part of reservoir water to the Tibetan north that would be collected during the monsoon. At present, this excessive monsoon water creates havoc in BD and all the water goes down directly to the BoB. So, China will take only a part of this excess water, and it seems it will do so without damaging the interest of India and BD.
