This Certainly In our domain Sir as you Know We are allowed 83 % of the Rivers Water flow into pakistan But as the Treaty goes We are Entitled To 50 % of the water share So All we have To Is Stop are share of water And its does not violate any treaty
But its Effects Will be Long standing in pakistan

Lol there not going to be any international condemnation... as per the threaty only 50% to be given to pakistan... but now we're giving you 80%..... time to stop the generosity.... lets see how is the reaction from the other side..

 

[VivasvatManu]

Only heard in Pakistan and gives them a chance to mock India that we are obsessed with them .

Oh Really?
I know what I am following and I also knows the difference between the faiths.

You do not understand the difference between faith and value system and practices. Your faith is blind, rooted in ignorance and superstition and will not survive an inquest of the mind.

Eating beef is part of the christian value system, Protecting cow is part of Hindu value system. Your choice is well known.

Also WE are are obsessed with terrorism and about ending it. pakistan just happens to be our primary target and source of terrorism. Without that, pretty much all Indians will ignore pakistan they same way they ignore Bangladesh.

Looks like things are indeed moving. Good to know.

Indus Waters Treaty: Limited Options For India To Turn Off The Tap

1. If India cuts off Indus supply, Pakistan could act against terrorists
2. Indus treaty violation would invite international condemnation for India
3. China could shut Brahmaputra, if India acted against its ally Pakistan

Voices within India demanding action against Pakistan, after terrorists attacked an army base in Uri and killed 18 soldiers last week, are growing louder. One suggestion making the rounds is India turn off the Indus river tap that waters much of Pakistan. It is suggested that doing so could compel Pakistan to crackdown on non-state and state actors acting against India.

"Eventually any cooperative arrangement requires goodwill and mutual trust on both sides," Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vikas Swarup said last week.

Experts NDTV spoke to remain divided over the benefits of reneging on an international water sharing agreement which has withstood two full scale wars and frosty relations between the two countries.

Speaking to NDTV, former union minister Yashwant Sinha said that time had come for India to reconsider the Treaty.

"India has scrupulously observed every bit of the treaty. But you observe treaty provisions with friendly states and not enemy states. India should take two steps - first abrogate the Indus Waters Treaty and second withdraw Most Favored Nation status to Pakistan," he said.

But if India wants to turn the heat on Pakistan, unilaterally withdrawing from the Treaty is a move fraught with risk.


"The Treaty is an international agreement, which means India alone cannot withdraw from it. It means we will be violating a legally enforceable treaty," said strategic affairs expert G Parthasarthy. He warned that not only would such a move invite international condemnation, but it would also earn the ire of one particular country - China.

The Indus originates in China, and unlike India and Pakistan, it has not signed any international water sharing agreement. Should China decide to divert the Indus, India could lose as much as 36% of river water.

In the east, the Brahmaputra starts as the Yarlung Zangbo in China and then flows down into the Bay of Bengal. Its waters sustain the livelihoods of millions in India and Bangladesh.

According to Tempa Zamlha of the Tibet Policy Institute, India must weigh its next step very carefully. China is already building 11 mega dams on the Brahmaputra and it is in a position to hurt India's interests.

The Indus Waters Treaty or IWT was signed between Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistan's president General Ayub Khan in 1960, after World Bank brokered negotiations that lasted almost a decade.

Under the agreement, of the six rivers that flow westward in the sub-continent India has full rights over three- Sutlej, Beas and Ravi - while Pakistan receives the waters of the other three -Jhelum, Chenab and Indus - almost unrestricted.
