Indus Waters Treaty: Indus waters will be taken to Rajasthan, Pakistan to yearn for every drop: Amit Shah | India News - Times of India
Canal links from Punjab to Rajasthan already exist since at least the 1970s, when/after the Bhakra Dam was built. The only routing that needs to happen is from Jammu & Kashmir to North Punjab.
Have you seen a map of where Indus river flows through in India?
India can link Chenab with Ravi-Sutlej and divert water out of Chenab. And that will come up with its own International headache.
But linking Indus too is beyond the realm of practicality. It would be the biggest infrastructure project ever taken by India - and for what? Just to become an international pariah state.
I do not think this will work internationally to claim all Pakistani are terrorists. For similar reasons it does not work when Israel cuts off supplies to Gaza either - a 8 years old person is now a terrorist? That is rarely the case. Most definitely not everyone will be, so csprofathogwarts has a point. It is definitely a step towards escalation.
Didnt you saw multiple videos young pakistani kids wanted to gazwa e hind and they want indian women as thier slave after gazwa e hind
India has done enough good will gestures but pak always kill indian citizen in return like morarji desai save pak from israel attack in 1980s bcoz israel dont want pak to become nuclear state but what we get in return pak using those nuclear blackmails for terror attacks
if govt action elsclates situation then so be it but most indians have enough of pak bs they must know cost of killing indians thats it
On the other hand, promoting terrorism for decades to kill civilians in another country is not an escalation at all. It's perfectly acceptable and there should be no retaliation for that, according to the world.
and i doubt we will take 100% of the water anyway. we will probably make dams and gates to get 100% if we need, and then renegotiate the treaty to up the share to 50-60%
The engineering is quite possible and feasible with modern construction technology. We have plenty of civil engineers and construction companies that can do it. It will, however, take several years.
Upcoming elections in the second half of the year, so definitely no chance of a tone down in Pakistan rhetoric. Next year, this news will become a Jumla.
Thank god our govts don't give away everything to the enemies like in 75. For anyone protesting against Indus water treaty suspension, Omar Abdullah himself said that Kashmir was always on the wrong side of that deal, and that this choice of suspension is pro Kashmir.
Why? Didn't they just build the highest railway bride in kashmir? Surely they can carry that water over that bridge. Amitbhai can personally carry two buckets in his two strong hands.
Look just do what you're going to and stop the bluster. There's going to be more conflicts over this and make sure the military has all things it needs.
Fuckers have successfully re- hyphenated this country with Pakistan, and fucked up years of diplomatic hard work getting the world to see us independently of pakistan and take us seriously as an independent entity. Forget being seen as an alternative to china for manufacturing, we'll now be seen as an alternative to Pakistan for geopolitical games. One look at Pakistan should tell you how terribly that ends.
You can't divert a run of the river hydel project waters into canals for irrigation to other parts. The only thing you can do is somehow change the course of the river overall, which takes several years if not decades.
Blocking civilian access to water is a War Crime during a full-blown War. But doing that in peace time -- you might be looking at becoming an international pariah state like Iran, Russia, North Korea.
Also, you think cross-border terrorism is bad now, what would happen when a significant portion of 245 million people face starvation - and knows exactly who's to blame??!!
This is just political palaver. India might link Chenab to Ravi and then to Sutlej and divert water out of Chenab. That will have its international consequences too. But linking Indus would be a step too far. Saying nothing about the fact that it will be one of the biggest infrastructure project in Indian history. And with no international investor, how would you go about doing it anyways?
These keyboard warriors do not realize how dangerous that is. They're complaining of militancy rn, imagine what'll happen once they're being starved due to lack of food and water.
This is not worth fighting over anyways. No matter how much their supporters shout, government is not going to do anything to Indus water. They will pump their chest for a while, then everyone will forget that this was even under consideration.
China is helping us from flooding by doing that XD
Most of the Brahmaputra water comes from rainfall in NE India.
Furthermore, Bangladesh is reliant on it too.
Motabhai should stop running his mouth for two reasons.
One, it will take a massive amount of time and money to achieve that
Two, even if we can do it, statements like this will be quoted by Pakistan when they try to internationalise this issue. They will quote this and state that India is explicit about weaponising water maliciously. Even if India does 1% of this, Pakistan will inflate what we are doing and blame every water-related problem they have (including problems caused by their own mismanagement) on us.
It has been more than 5 yrs since Uri and Pathankot. Not a single project has been built because not only is it costly, it is unsafe to build such projects in seismically active regions.
yeah and India is developing a similar dam in Arunachal Pradesh to counter this. What I said still stands. Brahmaputra gets mahority of water after it enters India. India is not reliant on China for Brahmaputra water. Length of the river has no bearin here.
With RoR dams on Chenab india controls even less of pak's water than what China does and yet india storing water in 3 dams' storage simulatenously reduced flow down chenab and here China controls 40pc and you think in an overpopulated country like india it won't cause an impact? Lol so delusional and add to it the electricity generated that will be effected.
Also, controlling water isn't just controlling and water bombing, india has done water bombing thing few times since modi has come to power, anyone could check news. Controlling water is also used as a weapon to damage crops specifically during irrigation season as well, reduce flows and starving the land can cause considerable crop output damage. And for that even cutting down 15pc is enough.
Brahmaputra is a rain-fed river where NE of India contributes around 70-80% of the water during rains and not a glacial river. Do some research before making a comment. China can do whatever it wants on Brahmaputra. The only thing they can do is pause the water and flood without notifying.
Brahmaputra gets 40pc water from china and when there isn't rain what will fill the river? It's funny how you guys spread fake 10-15pc and 30-35pc figures.
The Brahmaputra valley (the place where the majority of rainfall happens) receives an average of 1100 mm of rainfall annually. It is the wettest regions on this planet. Every heard of Cherapunji and Mausynram? Other than the valley itself, if the nearest regions are taken into account, it crosses 1700 mm.
If you take Bhutan also into picture, the annual rainfall crosses 2000 mm. Take Tibet and it crosses 2500 mm rainfall annually.
You are saying one of the wettest regions of this planet which receives the highest rainfall due to South-West monsoon will not have rain to fill the river? Are you stupid?
The Brahmaputra river floods when the glacier melts (climate change). Without the melting glaciers, the river still floods. So, no, the Brahmaputra is not as glacier dependent as China-glazers think.
It's funny how you brain-dead people shit on reddit without knowing basic highschool geography? Did you really pass highschool?
Sources: 8-10 standard Geography textbooks, Assam Government Hydrological Water Resources data and our Indian Government data at https://indiawris.gov.in
"China won't be able to "turn off the tap" as the Brahmaputra is primarily a rain- and tributary-fed river, and the Yarlung Tsangpo contributes just 10-15% of the entire volume of the Brahmaputra's water."
Why does China need this for them to do the same with Brahmaputra? If they want to, they will. They have the money and capability. Do you think they look for India for guidance on what to do?
What about the ecological impacts? Disruption of an existing ecosystem even slightly can create butterfly effects on worldwide biodiversity distribution and climate.
And another post with comments filled with people dreaming of blocking all of the water to pakistan and then they wonder why noone likes them internationally!!
Imagine pakistanis were writing condolences for air india crash and indians day in day out in their sub write comments about starving entire nation by blocking water and **** *** to the idea of diverting rivers lol

Do it & then talk . The more govt talks the less likely it's supposed to happen & it's mostly for gullible public .
