Being a smaller country you will be always feel threatened even when there is no threat. Being upper riparian we have been more than generous in allocating 3 western rivers.
The passive aggressive behaviour on display is hardly surprising.

I am on PDF. I have to show restraint.The passive aggressive behaviour on display is hardly surprising.
Not to mention this embarrasses the PDM government when it is trying to win elections soon. Unless india wants to see a return of IK and PTI. A stable Pakistan that is focused on peace and comes to some kind of working relationship with India is in both nations best interest.I think we're going in circles now, i would like to suggest a thought experiment.
Can you elaborate what you think will or will not happen if the GoI decides to unilaterally suspend a treaty.
Here's what I think will happen:
1. Loss of prestige. Nationstates breaching international contracts risk being seen as untrustworthy. If for any reason GoI can breach its obligations with one country what stops it from doing it to another on whatever pretext. This translates to delays or additional hurdles for all future agreements.
2. Increased leverage for GoC. Polity is about leverage and how you use it to further interests. China would be alarmed at such developments and would likely use it as a pretext to dam its own water sources and weaponise them.
3. It would be inimical to long term peace. To contest China we need our borders to be secure without investing disproportionate resources into safeguarding them. Water weaponisation could escalte quickly. Nation states pushed to the brink herald destruction, especially one volatile such as Pakistan. In this case their unpredictability allows them to punch above their weight.
India will also want Imran Khan to return to power, the rift he created between military and the political brass is ideal for India to invest in some deep assets and exploit.Not to mention this embarrasses the PDM government when it is trying to win elections soon.

Sure, that what Indians want.India will also want Imran Khan to return to power, the rift he created between military and the political brass is ideal for India to invest in some deep assets and exploit.
the guy is 70 years oldSure, that what what Indians want.
If IK comes back, he has said he would only come back to push through serious reforms will a clear majority.
while it is expected he would tone down the rhetoric in public again the all the factions of the elites and India, Pakistan’s middle and junior military and bureaucratic officers will carry forward the reforms he makes if he stays in power for at least one full term.
But I’m glad you want to see IK return. It’s something we can both agree upon.
That’s why I said one full term. If he pushes through reforms, hopefully all the other parties will take the opportunity to restructure as well in response, ending dynastic politics and offering up more choices to the public. PTI also needs a meritocratic plan of succession that doesn’t fall back into the nepotistic impulses of South Asia and Pakistan in particular.the guy is 70 years old
Hello Waz, 7% of the mighty Brahmputra water flow from China to India. Brahmputra is not even jugular to India in the same way Indus to Pakistan.This will do NOTHING. The volume and velocity of the water is from China and with that ebbed how much you conserve will be negligible.
This is also a run of a river dam and won't answer the problems you have if you decide to play water chief lol....

Hi, do you really burst a dam whose water is eventually going to flood Pakistan?India should never forget we have a bunker buster for every one of those dams and more. By the time likes of Abhinandans chase us out, it'd already be too late.
Hello Waz, 7% of the mighty Brahmputra water flow from China to India. Brahmputra is not even jugular to India in the same way Indus to Pakistan.
Heyy Wise one! It is 7.2% of Brahmputra. Yarlang Tsangpo (HeadBranch of Brahmputra) has 1800 m3/s and Brahmaputra has 25000 m3/s average discharge. Now do your math.Hello Bihari it’s a lot more than 7% (see the articles). China has full control of 50% of your rivers. Forget jugular vein of Pakistan they have control over your arteries, veins and capillaries.
Heyy Wise one! It is 7.2% of Brahmputra. Yarlang Tsangpo (HeadBranch of Brahmputra) has 1800 m3/s and Brahmaputra has 25000 m3/s average discharge. Now do your math.
Secondly full control of 50% of Indian rivers! Seriously? Please review map of Indian rivers (Indian Rivers)

My Friend, you didn't even care to look up even at Wikipedia. Did you? here it is ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarlung_TsangpoYes wise one where did you get your figures from? 7% according to whom?
The discharge is actually 16,240 m³/s!
The river runs for 2,840 km and you state that it's discharge is only 1800 m³/s.
I don't think, that was his intention at the beginning. He went that way, when his and army's ways diverged. Past can't be a indicator of future behavior all the time, particularly in Politics.India will also want Imran Khan to return to power, the rift he created between military and the political brass is ideal for India to invest in some deep assets and exploit.

Discharge is flow rate sir. It is volume of water per second passing through a point.
Problem with the Brahmputra is too much water for it's channel. Every season it overflows.
Tibet is an arid zone. China's share in Satluj is even more minimal.
