Summary
India suspended the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan after blaming Pakistani militants for a deadly Kashmir attack that killed 26.
The treaty governs water flow to 80% of Pakistani farms. India plans to withhold river data, divert water via canals, and expand hydroelectric projects, sparking panic among Pakistani farmers already facing drought.
Islamabad called any water stoppage an “Act of War.” Economists warn of severe impacts on agriculture, electricity, and livelihoods.
Experts say India lacks infrastructure for an immediate halt, giving Pakistan a short window to fix water inefficiencies.
So the water wars are starting again. We’re just lucky in the rest of the world climate change hasn’t caught up to us yet to make this a possibility.
“Find out” initiated.
Saying this like IWT wasn’t already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.
If you build a dam properly that’s plenty enforced, depending on the materials you use. Reinforced, even.
Find out for what?
Hiding OBL for a decade while taking money to “Find OBL”?
Sponsoring terrorism for several decades?
Indians and cosplaying as Israelis name a better combo.
Europeans and loving colonialism in the forms of Christo-facism, Zionism, or Islamism, all over the world.
Hence the existence of Israel and of the current borders between Pakistan and India. Oh, did you forget?
Why no mention of their promotion of Hindu surpremacy? BJP is Israels big friend in the region.
Oh, because Colonialism. Whether it was conducted by Middle Eastern Muslims or European Christians, it remains Colonialism, so bringing it up would be a false equivalency.
The BJP didn’t start the relationship with Israel, it’s been going on for well before they were politically relevant. The party that oversaw the country for decades was certainly not your Hinduvta bogeyman. You’ll have to try harder.
Actually only Europeans after ~1500 did colonialism when got guns and boats. But besides your historical lack of knowledge, why are you leaving out British colonialism of India which was one of the worst colonialisms?
Did you mean the Britain in Europe or the one that isn’t in Europe?
Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it’s not even funny.
It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.
IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can’t permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.
I’m all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.
