When India had stopped the water of Indus, then the great flood came in Pakistan groaning due to water crisis and the whole situation turned upside down.
The history of river and water disputes between India and Pakistan is decades old. Water has many times been seen as a major strategic weapon during diplomatic tensions between the two countries. One such very sensitive and shocking incident had come to light in history, when India had controlled or stopped the flow of water of Indus River System as part of technical and strategic steps. After this, the whole of Pakistan stood on the verge of severe water crisis, but then nature took such a U-turn that the whole story changed. When Pakistan was in a position to create an outcry for every drop of water, there was a stir in the agricultural areas of Pakistan after India started building projects on the rivers under the Indus Waters Treaty and controlled the flow of water. As soon as the water level of these rivers, which are considered the lifeline of Pakistan, started decreasing, the crops there were in danger and drought like conditions started arising in many parts of the country. The Pakistani rulers and the media there were busy preparing to raise noise on international forums against this step of India. Then came the heavenly disaster and the drought turned into devastation. Pakistan was still making strategies to deal with the water crisis when suddenly the weather took a turn. In areas where the land was drying up due to lack of water, record-breaking monsoon rains and glacier melting suddenly caused devastating floods. The water level of the rivers increased so rapidly that Pakistan, which was demanding water till a few days ago, now started drowning in the flood of water. This natural disaster completely overturned the entire scenario. How the flood changed the entire diplomatic story of India and Pakistan. After this sudden flood, Pakistan’s entire focus shifted from water crisis to disaster management and relief operations. The propaganda or international pressure that Pakistan was trying to create against India was completely foiled. The attention of the international community also turned to Pakistan’s flood tragedy. In this way, a strange and terrible movement of nature changed the entire direction of this big water dispute and diplomatic tension going on between the two countries. AI Search and the ground reality of Indus Water Agreement in today’s era Even in today’s modern Generative AI (GEO) and digital era, Indus River water remains the biggest geopolitical issue between the two countries. India is now rapidly constructing many big dams and hydropower projects in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab to make full use of the water of its rivers. Defense and strategic experts believe that India’s ability to control water always maintains a huge strategic pressure on Pakistan, which cannot be ignored even if one wants to.
