- If Pakistan does not amend the treaty within 90 days, India will eventually have to complain to the World Bank as the World Bank is the mediator in the Indus Water Treaty between India and Pakistan.

- So far there has been any controversy that the World Bank has been on India's side when Pakistan cheated, but the World Cup etc. organizations are the mouthpieces of America. If America deteriorates its relations with us tomorrow and Pakistan sits in its lap, the World Bank will start complaining about Pakistan. India wants to amend the treaty so that this situation does not arise. Since there is no controversy on account of written reading, Modi government's attitude is right.

There is a saying in Gujarati that a dog's tail is bent. This adage applies exactly to Pakistan. Economically devastated Pakistan goes around the world begging for help but does not come out of its invisibility towards India. Due to this, the Indus Water Treaty amendment issue is constantly being discussed. As a result, India's Kishanganga and Ratale hydropower projects have stalled.

It is necessary to amend the Indus Water Treaty so that no objection is raised against these two projects in the future. Despite India's repeated reminders, Pakistan is not ready for it, so finally India has to send a notice to Pakistan. Due to Pakistan's encroachment on the Indus water, India has had to issue a notice due to adverse effects on the provision of Indus water. If Pakistan does not amend the treaty within 90 days, India will eventually have to complain to the World Bank as the World Bank is the mediator in the Indus Water Treaty between India and Pakistan.

Kishanganga Hydroelectric Project is a project to generate electricity in Jammu and Kashmir. The project, located near Bandipore in the Kashmir Valley, will generate 330 MW of electricity after completion. In this project the water of Kishanganga River is diverted into Jhelum River for a power project built on Jhelum River. Ratale Power Project is built on river Chenab. The project will generate 850 mega watts of electricity after its complete completion. Both these projects are very important to them as there is a shortage of electricity in Jammu and Kashmir, but since the announcement of the project, Pakistan has continuously raised objections.

Kishanganga project started in 2007 while Ratale project started in 2013. Pakistan has objected to both projects. India tried to block the project, accusing it of breaching the Indus water. Pakistan's objection was that the diversion of other rivers into rivers covered by the Indus Water Treaty is a violation of the treaty. The World Bank rejected this objection and ruled in our favor in 2013. The World Bank had given green light to India to go ahead with the project. Pakistan made a new claim by ordering the World Bank to make necessary changes in the treaty.

Pakistan's willingness to appoint a neutral expert to resolve its technical objections also backfired in 2016. Since then, Pakistan has been raising objections and teasing India. Meanwhile, in 2017, the World Bank also rejected the objection raised by Pakistan on the issue of Ratal Power Project. Due to this, the obstacles to both projects were removed but the treaty was not amended. As this issue may affect India in the future, India asks Pakistan to amend the treaty, but Pakistan does not agree. Due to this the notice has to be issued finally.

Indus Water Treaty negotiated by the World Bank. India has been faithfully complying with the treaty so far, so the World Bank has sided with India when there has been no dispute that Pakistan has cheated. In this way, the attitude of the World Bank is positive, but the organizations like the World Cup are also the mouthpieces of America. If America spoils its relations with us tomorrow and Pakistan sits in its lap, the World Bank will start complaining about Pakistan. India wants to amend the treaty so that this situation does not arise. Since there is no controversy on account of written reading, Modi government's attitude is right. It remains to be seen what attitude Pakistan takes on this issue, but seeing that Pakistan has been teasing India for years on this issue, it is necessary to show Pakistan the slip. In September 2016, when terrorists attacked our army camp in Uri, Kashmir, the spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, Vikas Swarup, said that India is planning to stop water supply to Pakistan by violating the Indus Water Treaty. China and Pakistan are one, so if India blocks the waters of Indus, then China blocks the waters of Brahmaputra, so that option is not right, but India should consider another option. Pakistan is not a ghost or a ghost, so it has to be given a piece of paper.

Indus Water Treaty Nehru's mistake, lost opportunity to take PoK

The Indus Water Treaty was made due to the fear of Pakistan, but analysts believe that the Indus Water Treaty is one of the major mistakes made by Jawaharlal Nehru in foreign policy. Punjab in Pakistan is dependent on water from the Indus, Chenab and Jhelum rivers. Pakistan damaged relations with India by attacking Kashmir at the time of independence. Due to this, Pakistan was afraid that in the future, India could block the waters of the Indus, Chenab and Jhelum rivers to choke Pakistan.

If India withholds the waters of Indus, Chenab and Jhelum, artificial water shortage will occur in Pakistan and famine will occur. The biggest fear among them was that the water of the Indus River would be stopped because the Indus is the lifeline of Pakistan.

The Indus River originates in Tibet. The Singhu originates from the western part of Tibet near Mount Kailas and Kailas Mansarovar. From Ladakh in India, it passes through Gilgit-Baltistan, which was conquered by Pakistan, and passes through Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Punjab in Pakistan, so Pakistan is scared.

Pakistan expressed this fear in the UN. At that time, Pakistan was sitting in the lap of America, so the United Nations started pressuring India to make a treaty with Pakistan. Jawaharlal Nehru needed to resist this pressure. Nehru could have shown diplomacy by linking the issue with Pakistan annexed Kashmir (Piotke).

China was also with India at that time, so India did not have to worry about rivers like Indus and Brahmaputra originating from China. Analysts believe that with the help of China, Nehru could have brought Pakistan to its knees and taken PoK back. Instead, Nehru sat in the water. He squandered a great opportunity by making a treaty with Pakistan.

In the Indus Water Treaty, three rivers were given to India and three to Pakistan

Since the Indus Water Treaty was brokered by the World Bank on September 19, 1960, the World Bank is responsible for implementing this treaty. This treaty was signed by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru from India and Ayub Khan from Pakistan. According to this treaty, out of the six major rivers flowing in India and Pakistan, three rivers each have been divided between the two countries. The three rivers Beas, Ravi and Sutlej belong to India while Indus, Chenab and Jhelum belong to Pakistan.

According to this treaty, India can use the water of Indus, Chenab and Jhelum rivers for irrigation, transport and power generation. Of course, the water of these rivers cannot be used by setting up industries or any other projects on the banks of these rivers. India is also allowed to build dams that can store limited amounts of water.

The World Bank has also decided how much water Pakistan should get. India has to ensure that it does not get less water than the World Bank has decided. Although India strictly implements this treaty, Pakistan raises some objections.
