WASHINGTON DIARY: India-Pakistan conundrum

[S-2]

Appreciate the comments and have ZERO time today to reply. Almost wish I hadn't provoked such. I'll try to read the links and comment when completing them. May be a bit so I encourage you to look further in the thread (if and when) for my responses.

Thanks.

nothing new as he said the Pak military cannot lose the strategic assets to lose india.India is also chalking out doctrines to tighten the screws on pakistan.The Monkey trap doctrine,Cold Start ,Dams on the indus with discreet storage facilities etc are all new tools in India's arsenal.The earlier line of thought that a united pakistan is not being echoed in indias establishment after 26\11.They seem to prefer a Jehadi openly declaring his intent than a closet jehadi wrt to India in the present scenario.There also rumours in India that GOI is working with Russia,Iran and CARS to strengthen the NA to horrendous proportions is in the plans.

I do not agree with you on water issues. Please provide some links.
I do not think GoI acts in that way. This is wrong policy in long term interests. Also Indian themselves would eat GoI on this issues.

sir Earlier they used to honour and are honouring the IWT but that wont be anywhere so in the future .Leaving the morality aside they are certain domestic compulsions which they have to fullfill .They built one of the largest Hydel projects on Sutlej and if the GOI says that they don't have storage facility for a project producing 9000MW electricity I won't buy it

I am sure you must have reasons behind it.

How can you say, that Water Issue is not a serious issue or not so important?

India always control water that comes to Pakistan via "Chenab River"
