Ummmmmm.. it's actually not funny . People are dying. You have blood in your hands, because your government represents you.

Funny how the previous bangla gov;t forget the terrorists it supported that killed many, many more Indians....wake up

Oh you're from South India.. I should have known I'm talking to one of the less civilized races in the subcontinent.

You are talking to the only Asian Civilizations that beat the Muslims invaders consistently for centuries. Alos, the cleanest civilization that treat their women with tremendous respect....

Didin't work.

Guess by the time the Roma's reached south, they weren't in their best physical shape to spread their civ.

Roma....what you never heard of a navy? I guess you never read how the South Indians Navy defeated the Dutch? Guess you never read about the world's oldest city found underwater near Tamil Nadu, confirmed by Archeologists

Couple of things.

My point is that, if the river is dying downstream, you can't just solely blame the Indian barrage for it, when you have a Bangladeshi one blocking and diverting the water as well!

Secondly, the Google Earth photo of Gazaldoba barrage on Teesta in India, is taken during a dry season. And either case any river around the world, before and after any barrage around the world will look like that.

Here's a "bigger" picture showing Teesta River upstream and downstream of the Barrage on Indian side. Not to forget that Teesta is a very sediment heavy river, which shows during the dry season.

If I had to do propaganda, I would take this screenshot from Teesta River Barrage in Bangladesh and flaunt it around.

Looks bad right?

=========================================================================

Thing is if India didn't divert water during dry season, Bangladesh would do the exact same. I mean thats the reason why Bangladesh built the barrage right?

Which brings us to sharing of water during the dry season. What incentive does India have? I mean India has poor people, farmers too, which it needs to take care of by providing adequate irrigation. Why should India care about the people of a hostile country? Surely there is no legal obligation.

As Gowhar Rizvi said in the interview, confrontation is not the way to solve these issues, cooperation is. Lower riparian alarmism and propaganda isn't really going to help. And if thats not enough Bangladeshis will also go ahead and call Sheikh Hasina "Bharati Stoog Dalal" for trying to improve ties with India.

Lets hope saner minds on both sides prevail.
