TIL that India does not need a army or nukes to decimate Pakistan, they just need to violate a treaty and build few dams, yes, it would be very low and inhumane........ But it can be done.

Let the Water Wars begin! Expect them to dominate the World dealing with Climate Change and Control.

India won't do that. It has honoured the water treaties for decades even through wars. So it's unlikely India would resort to such a tactic because it would cause famine in Pakistan.

China can do the same thing with India. All those rivers that flow into Pakistan from Inda originate in China.

Edit: Who are those kool aid drinking idiots that are downvoting. China diverting rivers that come into India is a cause for concern.

India would never do that, even if down the road it would be a choice between widespread suffering of Pakistan’s people vs. widespread suffering of India’s people? And with climate change only getting worse this issue will get more and more severe with time.

Treaties are usually made and adhered to because countries want peace. War leads to death and suffering. But if adhering to the treaty would lead to more death and suffering than a war would, I’m not sure how anyone could be sure a country would stick to the treaty.

I’m not throwing shade at India. I just think when push comes to shove, and the choice is literally “our people suffering and dying” vs “other people suffering and dying”, every country on earth is going to choose to benefit their people.

My state have 44 rivers, and china would not able to do shit about any of them, same with many other states as most of them depends on rain....... But I guess there are some truth in your words

Plenty of water (Perhaps even too much) now as the ancient glaciers are melt. Then ince alk te melted waters are drained, ....

India is too big to get bullied around by China, but countries downstream Mekong have terrible issues due to China building and filling dams.

But those rivers are not getting all their water from China. Infact most of India and Pak's river get there waters in monsoon season which comes in India and Pak not china.

They why complain when China was going to build a dam across the Chinese side of the Brahmaputra?

There is some truth.

If Putin restrains himself and does not use Nukes, they will be used in the water wars, that are inevitable.

India has aspirations. But it isn't big enough yet. What can India do is China does begin to divert rivers entering India? China isn't someone that listens to diplomacy.

This is the same situation as Ethiopia/Sudan. They almost went to war over this - the only reason conflict didn’t turn hot was because Susan didn’t have technical capability to deliver enough ordinance over such large distance to blow dam up.

India is more capable.

You don't know about the brahmaputra river,

It originates in China there known as the Tsang po,

But the one that reaches India, 80 percent of that water is added by tributaries flowing in india, so china daming the brahmaputra would only mildly inconvenience us.

The indus or the other hand, is another story,

The ganga thankfully originates in india though

It’s a concern. Not a grave threat. Because if Chinese plans to divert it all it’s gonna be a risk for them to. There can be flash floods during peak monsoons.

And building dams will always weaken the foundations and most likely lead to earthquakes. And that region is a highly unstable region. So risk goes both ways if they do things unplanned they be playing with fire.

They have new lakes forming in Pakistan and they still greed for more water ??

/s

india helps russia, india shouldnt have any form of internationally support

When you have an inconvenience of 40 % it's still a inconvenience

Because China can always use it to cause flood??? Everything is not about water shortage.

And what can u even do other than cry about it

[deleted]

what makes you think I am doing nothing about it...because that's not what is happening

Yeah, I be waiting for the international support for to be cut of,

nope guess again

[deleted]

Why do I need waste my time guessing about meaningless and worthless action of random redditor

at this point its just entertaining wasting your time .. but yes I am being proactive and you still haven't guessed correctly

You do know that majority of that water is unusable right ?

Stopping water is act of war.

I am speaking a time when we are on war

The Indus Water Treaty has survived major wars with Pakistan.

India has never violated that treaty. Even after devestating terrorist attacks from Pakistan.

The water boogeyman is only ever raised by Pakistani establishment to create fear amongst Pakistani civilians and resentment towards India.

They also tack this as one of the reasons for the Kashmir dispute despite everyone knowing that the dispute is only political.

Someone ask Pakistan what infrastructure have they built to exploit the water they already get in the last 20 years.

Answer is 0. That's why 1/3 of Pakistan was under water during recent flooding.

Their corrupt establishment will spend 0 dollars on improving their existing water infrastructure but hype up a completely impossible hypothetical scenario of India suddenly turning off their water.
