NEW DELHI: Can Afghanistanoffer India the 'other Indus' in its strategic offensive against Pakistan? Both countries are actively exploring this via possible Chenab-like run-of-the river projects on Afghanistan's eastern rivers. Of particular interest is river Kabul, senior officials, speaking off record, told ET.

Problem is by blocking any water to Pakistan they will actually open the box of worms. There are many rivers that originate from Pakistan and flow into Afghanistan. We can always reciprocate the favor but Afghanistan should keep one thing in mind unlike India or Pakistan they are a land locked country and are dependent of Pakistan. So we will always have an upper hand over them and we will reply a befitting response. As stopping the flow of water either from India or from #Namak_Harams will considered an act of war.

Nonetheless, this highlights how short sighted our politicians are. We need to create Dams as soon as possible by doing good water management there shouldn't really be need for this.

I am waiting for that calculated baniya move, which later sunk India within the Afghanistan like USSR made it.

I mean i did not take it seriously. But how there journalist and so called intellectuals thinks that they can practically do it for e.g

If #Afg ,with the support of #Ind ,develops the eastern river system, #Pak will end up buying electricity from Afg.
Same tweet is shared by other journalists.
I do not understand how they think

Why it is : I always think the fabricated sense of superiority is just harmful to
own -self

Building dams on River Kabul is very much a key development project which is on Ashraf Ghani's watch before he completes his term. He has signed number of other agreements constructing dams on other rivers. He is focused on projects that are of long-term importance (the focus thus far had been more on short-term and rehabilitation projects) and ones with greater economic importance. Infrastructure overall and mainly dams for irrigation and to produce energy, along with connectivity and building the human capital is what is his government is focusing on. Indian assistance has been sought by the Afghan government.

Please improve your knowledge of the rivers that two countries share. There was another fool in a similar discussion topic who thought that river Kabul originated from Pakistan. River Kunar's one strand originates from Citral only and that's it. Blocking that water is not possible due terrain and it also cannot be redirected as some fool had alleged.

any dams in Afghanistan are for cheap hydroelectric power generation
why does Pakistan have to come in the equation ?

Blowing up a few dams in Afghanistan is merely difficult..you dont even need state support and funds for that...just float the idea in the media and some crazy jehadi will do it..

Marzofaraz: she's an intern or employee at one of the Democratic Party's organizations (can't remember which).

Real young kid -- definitely not a journalist -- but one of the top 200 Afghan Influencers on social media if I remember correctly.

Education was not anything spectacular -- B-tier schools

Not smart -- wouldn't survive any in-depth conversation.

She's prototypical of a large class of the millennial Afghan Diaspora in the US:
1. Intellectually dishonest or blind or stunted (take your pick) --
2. better at soundbites vs anything substantiative.
3. Pro free Baluchistan,
4. Pro India,
5. Pro some form of Islamic-something-ism (never got that part),
6. claim to be liberal
7. yet will share a platform with rabid Islamophobes if they shit on Pakistan (like Tarek Fatah, people affiliated with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, etc.)

And then they ask why do Pakistanis despise fanatic Indian Hindus who will settle on nothing less than kill us.

They are attacking our school children, churches, mosques, funerals, hospitals...

Thy want to stop our water...

They threaten us with war with the drop of a pin...

And then they wonder...!

blowing a dam is not like blowing a bridge

clearly building a dam can cause thirst, famine, ecological ruin when used as a weapon.

Form the cheering by Indians and Afghans and similar Articles written by Indians -- clearly show the intent and that there is a satisfaction with the intent.

Now -- I didn't tell you something u already didn't know -- so why the intellectual dishonest?

You have more dams to be blown rest assured.

That's is not the intent and that would not happen unless you live in your paranoia bubble. We are desperate for energy in our Easter zone and boosting our agriculture sector is our backbone. Construe it as you like if it helps.

Does Pakistan really think that every Afghan will forget its role in in the current death and destruction? No we won't not even in a thousand years.

Yes but last I remember -- Afghanistan has no capacity for such pyrotechnics, nor will it have in the next few decades -- Pakistan has had this capability from birth.

I think you're forgetting a few simple thinking or simply being dishonest:
1. I just posted the article
2. The article was published in a fairly respectable Indian publication (not a Pakistani paranoid as some Afghans might think)
3. The authors are Indian strategic thinkers
4. This exact theme has been carried by multiple Indian sources (not just this one)
5. Current and Former Afghan intellectuals and influencers have posted this story

Does Pakistan really think that every Afghan will forget its role in in the current death and destruction? No we won't not even in a thousand years.

Are you not contradicting your earlier statement ...

But clearly you were able to forget the hospitality extended to 20% of your population in perhaps 1000 minutes.

I also wonder if you do not, by the same token:
1. expect to forget the destruction your fellow Afghans wrought on you: The Dustups, the Masoods, the Hekmatyars, the Taliban, the Haqqani, the Parchams, the Babrak Karmals, ...
2. expect the Pakistani people to forget the destruction of your ancestors wrought on the ancestors of the current day Pakistanis

Stupid questions can results in interesting questions which seldom get answered ;-)

Interesting, you seem to have a knowledge of Afghan Diaspora in US.
Agreed on the bold part that most of the Afghans have all these attributes.The same tweet (in essence) shared by majority of educated afghans.
Well i am still trying to find out even a single afghan who can tell us where they went wrong, instead of blaming Pakistan.
