      Because regardless of whether or not there is a treaty, Pakistan can cry to China at anytime. If India acts against Pakistan, it will have extreme difficulty criticizing China for doing the same thing at international forums. You are right that China never follows rules and always violates agreements, but the reality is they still have far more international influence than India. So far China has tried to dam the Indian rivers but it has also somewhat restrained. Unless India develops strong relationships with partners, it will have to be very cautious not to antagonize China or give them opportunities to go further.

Is there ever a case where a side gets something but says no to it? The expression "both sides honored" doesn't seem appropriate in this context. Now check the situation on Brahamaputra. Does China ever listen to us on the fair sharig of water ? The world just works like this.

    • @JohnSmith-vn8dm
      @JohnSmith-vn8dm Рік тому +2

      China has barely started on the Brahmaputra because China's greatest fear is India might fully enter the US sphere, and the US and India are its long term strategic competitors in the new cold war. However if India is more aggressive on water issues with Pakistan, they will cry to China and China will take advantage of the situation to retaliate with its own extremely aggressive water control. India will have difficulty criticizing this on the international stage if it does something similar to Pakistan. India has to accept that China is its greatest enemy, NOT Pakistan. And India also has to accept that it is at a massive disadvantage vs China in terms of economy and international diplomatic heft. So unless India is willing to strengthen its foreign alliances or wait decades for the power disparity between it and China to shrink, it has to be cautious about how it acts in the region for now. Its important to take a long term view.

    Myself Being a resident of kandi area drained by Ravi and Chenab , I would like to highlight thatanother main factor on the basis of which the partition lines were drawn by Radcliffe committee were the irrigation canals developed during the British times. The regions between these so called eastern rivers known as Bari and Rechna Doab were divided such that very few canals would cross borders. In this time of 60 years Indian side have interlinked the eastern rivers with meagre waters to flow to pak. Considering the bias it’s high time to revisit the treaty now.
    Another point is that as we can see in the Shekhar Ji s map Beas is already draining into Sutlej well before it crosses over. So effectively we are only in control of the two rivers out of five draining into pak😅.

    One thing that I would have liked this episode to elaborate on is how good/fair the IWT is. The reason for that is that I hear many people say that this treaty is highly unfavourable to India and that like everything else Nehru did, is a complete disaster. You touched on this when you told us that India was allowed to use 40 units while Pak gets to have 208. Sadly, you didn't elaborate as to why was this the case.

The other core issue is that Pakistan gained more by this riversharing agreement at the expense of India. India acted big brotherly and gave more concessions to Pakistan by Nehru Govt. But Pakistan is creating hurdles to India and stalling construction of minor irrigation structures by India by approaching World bank.

    Ignoring Pakistan and leaving it to its own fate would be the best. Any act that that gives Pakistan an opportunity to invoke sympathy of Western world or the Arab/Muslim countries, by leveraging it's economic crises, will be counter intuitive.

      China raced past for 2 reasons. First is it fully embraced capitalism under Deng Xiaoping (their most brilliant leader) unlike India's half hearted socialist reform measures. Second reason is they were never afraid to develop deep relationships with other countries. China was first a strong ally of the USSR, then the US, and now they are going back to Russia. India was non-aligned the entire time out of fears that others would be "unreliable partners" while China was allying with them, reopening benefits, betraying them and then starting the process with someone else all over again!
