Diplomatic Action Towards Pakistan: A Positive Moving Forward in Relations
In Pulwama's Aftermath: India's Water Warning to Pakistan
India's measured response to the cross-border links to the Pahalgam terror attack sets a prudent tone. A slight downgrade in diplomatic ties sends a strong yet non-aggressive message, while the potential abrogation of the Indus Waters Treaty could mark a drastic step.
If India decides to meddle with the water flow west, Pakistan could FACE A SEVERE CRISIS, as its agriculture is heavily reliant on the Indus river system. This calculated threat promises pain to a nation that champions terrorism as a military tactic.
The Cabinet has crafted targeted reprisals as part of a robust initial response to the savage attack that targeted innocent tourists of all faiths. The horrific incident is believed to have involved terrorists originating from Pakistan, with some local collaborators possibly receiving training in their home country.
More severe measures are anticipated soon. It is clear from the Cabinet Committee on Security's actions that they possess intel on at least three terrorists involved in the attack by five to six terrorists. The blame for this attack, orchestrated by proxies of the ISI wing of the Pakistan army, has been laid.
The committee has skillfully avoided sparking religious discord, focusing instead on the crime and the ordered retaliation. This no-nonsense approach is commendable, even if perceived as an act of war by the military-controlled Pakistan, whose Prime Minister has yet to condemn the attack.
India's unity in the face of terror is critical, given the existing tensions within Indian society. The government has successfully kept emotions in check and maintained a singular focus on the crime and the reprisals. This diplomatic offensive must be backed by a unified front to succeed.
The Indus river system's water flow could become a battleground, with potential consequences that extend beyond region-specific diplomatic relations. Escalating tensions could lead to economic breakdowns, environmental degradation, humanitarian disasters, and international juridical battles. These repercussions could jeopardize the widely-recognized Indus Water Treaty and compromise global peace. Let's hope sanity prevails.
Politics and general news have been dominated by discussions on war-and-conflicts, with India's potential move to manipulate the Indus River's water flow causing severe concerns, given Pakistan's heavy reliance on the Indus river system for agriculture. This situation, if escalated, could lead to far-reaching effects, such as economic breakdowns, environmental degradation, humanitarian disasters, and international juridical battles, potentially jeopardizing the Indus Water Treaty and globally-recognized peace.
