India blocks free flow of Pakistan's water share from three eastern rivers

[fitpOsitive]

You were doing great till 1970's then your country took some path which brought you to this point.

Time to take a U-Turn, as IK has said that it's good to take a U-Turn

Indian must let their hate towards their neighbours go.

This deal was signed out of stupidity by Indian leaders, who thought the Kashmir issue was about water (which in fact is, more or less). So, we signed a treaty so that the issue maybe resolved in some way. What we got in return was a war in 1965. Should've scrapped the treaty the very moment they attacked.

its the only reason indians and Pakistanis are alive today. Pakistan would have fought an all out war and would have been nuclear catastrophy for india.

As I said India is not blocking any ones water

Here is an opportunity for the world to see real State terrorism. Lugta hay kutya ki mot aa gye hay

Does China have water sharing treaties with India? If not, I guess we can block rivers in Tibet from flowing into India.

We will seek your help once India needs to be bullied real hard.

If anyone is wondering if they are on the right side of history or not, just read the above comments.
One side is literally advocating of using water as a wepon to starve 200,000,000 people to death.

Anyways, India and Pakistan have no choice but to follow the treaty as any unilateral alterations will result in nuclear war.

Any ideas of scapping it is simple mental masturbation and nothing else.

They are enemies mate,come out of lala land.

What do you have ?

Failed economy, Already divided country, Huge Deficit and a begging bowl, Sham democracy and of course some UN proscribed outfits.

You will be much better off if you are planning to lose all these.

Indian population is more than 1.35 billion and indian upper and middle class is only 25-30 cror people. more than 1 billion people liv very miserable life in india as compare to Pakistan where only 4 cror people liv below the poverty line. Indian external debt is 400 billion dollar and since 1947 india received more than 65 billion dollar in aid only from usa.

currently india per capita income is 25% more than pakistan but due tou following reason

ambani 44 billion dollars + rest of indian 05 dollars/no of pop = 1890 per capita indian income

We won't let kalabagh dam built,if it is built federation would have to suffer.

India could also be in violation of UN resolution 64/292. The human right to water and sanitation. Maybe the representatives of Pakistan in UN can look at this in more detail?

 

[Umar Nazir]

nothing to worry as already no water coming in Pakistan from eastern rivers. infact india release lot of flood water in sutluj river every year during moon soon which destroy our crops, so Pakistan should warn india its ur water and if its ever relase in Pakistan, we will go to UNO for that. As far as western river concern, they cant b diverted due to geography and hard mountain area

 

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

And Pakistan too.

As I said India is not blocking any ones water

Good for both.
and one thing more. Honestly speaking previous indian governments were wise and their prime ministers were visionary. Now india had been changed. Its more of emotions then intellect. It will make you afghanistan eventually and maybe destroy Pakistan and the region too in the process. Politics of hate have destroyed empires.

 

[YeBeWarned]

India is playing with fire

More like, India is playing with Water ..

 

[Shabi1]

If it did block water it won't be for long.

For Indian's please read both of these articles. If you scrap the Indus treaty then China can do same with you.

China blocks Brahmaputra River as India threatens to scrap Indus Water Treaty

In a recent development amid intense tensions between India and Pakistan, China has blocked a tributary of the Brahmaputra River in Tibet which can severely impact water flows in India.

The move is part of the construction of China’s most expensive hydro Lalho project in Xigaze, Zhang Yunbao, head of the said project, was quoted by the state-run Xinhua as saying.

The development comes in the wake of Indian PM Narendra Modi’s threats to scrap the Indus Water Treaty. In a meeting earlier this week, the he reportedly zeroed in on adopting an aggressive strategy to raise pressure on Pakistan, days after he threatened the Pakistani nation with global ‘isolation’ following the recent Uri attack.

Blocking of the tributary would be a cause of concern for India as its flow goes into Arunachal Pradesh, one of India’s states, and provides water to Bangladesh as well.

Dubbed as the ‘most expensive project’ by China, this project was initiated in 2014 and will have an investment of $740 million before it gets completed in 2019. The announcement had already raised concerns for New Delhi for various reasons.

Moreover, Beijing also had also started its Zam Hydropower Station last year on the same river which further caught India off guard. However, the Chinese authorities have maintained that it would take into account the Modi goernment’s apprehension, saying that its dams are not designed to hold water.

Besides, China’s 12th Five Year Plan reveals that three more such power projects will be created on the river.

Although China and India have had no water treaty, the two countries founded Expert Level Mechanism (ELM) on trans-border rivers while also signing in October 2013 MoU on bolstering cooperation which makes Beijing provide India with data on the water flows.

I am building a narative for any 3rd parties. We know they are enemies, we need to tell the world why they are enemies.

Then why migrated to Canada ?



Who said butchers or chaiwalas can't be PM in a real democracy ?

To be honest, I don't like hot summers.
Now my Indian friends... oh boy you should have seen their faces the first time they saw a toilet in Canada.
It was they got the best gift in the world.

No one said anyting about chaiwalas, but real democracies punishes mass murderers instead of making them their PM.
Of course the PM is a reflection of the society.
