what history i have read does not seem to support your assertion.Check the pages of history, India been conquer by small groups from west and ruled by same people for centuries. So, it pointless to talk, if war breaks out Pakistan wouldn't stand indian blows.
Indians will taste their own medicine when Chinese dams on Yaluzangbu river are ready.
India can only violate the IWT for only so long before it becomes something that we will be forced to take very seriously. So far, we've just asked for talks and for arbitration under the terms of the IWT. If the violations continue, then a number of more creative solutions might present themselves. For example, one such solution might involve encouraging the "undoing" of reservoirs in IoK that are violating the IWT. Pakistan's armed forces do not need to be involved directly in such a scenario.
I personally don't think things will get to this point, but since you are worried about this problem, let's continue with the hypothetical scenario. So, the structure(s) get undone and India accuses Pakistan of being responsible and then threatens war. Well, this is no different to India threatening war in any other circumstances. If they actually carry out their threats for a change then there are two further scenarios. First, we have the unlikely scenario of a highly contained, short, and geographically limited conflict that is conducted entirely within disputed territory. In this case, India will not be able to leverage its numerical advantage since Pakistan will concentrate forces in this limited region to negate enemy deployment.
In the second scenario of a wider war across the IB, or in the case the "contained" conflict mushrooms and the theater is expanded, then we will most likely face a situation where the nuclear threshold is crossed. At this point, water will be the least of India and Pakistan's worries.
So in a nutshell, what I am saying is that India fully comprehends the fact that while it can play games with water to a very limited extent, the moment water theft crosses a serious threshold a whole plethora of unintended consequences will unfold. I think there are more than a couple smart strategists sitting in the Indian FO and armed services that will understand this.
When Jamaat Ali Shah confidently says that things will get resolved, you should know where that confidence is coming from.
I'm assuming u r referring to using PAF to blow them up. Ok, say....the blowing up mission fails. Say IAf intercepts the PAF and PAF can't blow up the dams. What happens then?
Mai dorr gaya.........koyi inko thoda pani de do....If we HAVE to Blow those Dams up then we do not need Air strikes.

Bhaisaab bandh tutegi, to adha pakistan pani ke niche.....Pani hai, jidhar dhal milega udhar jayega....LOL
Back to topic...three threads about " indo-pak water disputes" are running at the same time...Is it the new thing (or in new bottle) Pak establishment is makes you swallow nowadays. Why??? nobody listen to the craps like indian hands behind taliban etc.....Very Bad. They are very biased...i should say....
off topic but
afganistan had resources to build dams!!!! inspite of all those wars etc.
Well then blame other countries for it. Why blame Afghanistan for something they haven't done? And besides, in case of the Pakistanis and Indians, so far these have been allegations and none of the neutral mediators that they jointly accepted, have agreed with any illegal construction attempts.No, other countries built it for them.
This is getting SO old now...
India has violated the IWT by holding back more water than what is allowed. The IWT allows for .01 MAF. India rushed to fill the Baglihar reservoir and held back between .2-.3 MAF in clear contravention of the IWT.
There is no debate or discussion about this. This is a fact.
If the Illegal dams are blown up with strategic strikes that should resolve the water crisis
