In Depth - Indus Water Treaty
In September 1960, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani President Mohammad Ayub Khan signed a water sharing agreement concerning the use of waters in the Indus Rivers system. The treaty came to be known as the Indus Water Treaty. Orchestrated by the World Bank, the agreement took nine years of negotiations. Under the treaty, the control of six rivers in the Indus Water System was divided between the two countries.
But, between India and Pakistan, the treaty has been a major source of conflict due to its interpretation and implementation. Since its inception, there have been multiple disagreements and differences between both countries over the treaty.
Today in IN DEPTH, we try and understand the Indus Water Treaty in detail, the disputes regarding water sharing between India and Pakistan, in particular the current conflict

I didn't get the logic of signing this treaty. Why has India signed a treaty which assigned only 20 % of Indus water to her while Pakistan was assigned 80% water share.. It's detrimental for the development of J&K.. Isn't it??

Humanity I guess, because once it was a part of our country and they are largely dependent on the water of Indus. You can't deprive someone from water atleast! Also if you Know about the five principles of peaceful co-existence popularly Panchsheel then you must know "Equality and Co-operation for mutual benefit" is one of them, So may be we're going by the principle! And I don't think J&K are deprived from the water as 20% of would be enough for a state.

May be I can answer this Because we Indians have lot of big Rivers to fulfill our need of water and Pakistan's agriculture widely depends on the Indus water. This treaty works as a life line for the pakistan. The 80-20 thing may sound unfair.

@@nehasayshie you are uninformed miss. JnK assembly has passed a resolution in 2003 and in 2016 again to abrogate IWT. There are the worst sufferer from this treaty and frustrated too. Moreover India is not a water surplus country we are water stressed. Indus rivers could have been used in rajasthan, haryana, delhi and western up which are arid or semi arid. Reciprocity is the first principle of diplomacy. Presenting other cheek to get slapped again is foolish.

A stern warning to Pakistan should be made regarding withdrawing from the treaty on another cowardly attack by Pakistan. Once we have substantial proof that the proxy attack was funded by Pakistan only, we must not shy away from scrapping the treaty unilaterally and slowing down the water flow. It'd be one cruel step to stop a million more.

In my view if dam is built in India then amount of water that is used in hydroelectricity that remains same amount of water, and pass the amount of water in Pakistan. Whenever Pakistan want some to slow down the process of development of Indian Nations.

Pakistan is not getting a drop of water from Ravi,Sutlej and Beas.where as India has no right to build the dam on western rivers as per Indus water treaty.india can generate electricity with run of the river projects.on western rivers.
It had been successful because we had been offering water, unconditionally. Secularism in Bhaarata is alive because of Hindoos and NOT any other community. Nehru as such was very kind, he gave two third of J&K to Pakistan and China, offered a huge sum of money to Pakistan at behest of his godfather Mohandas. He never was at ease with Sardaar Patel who assimilated all the states into Union of Bhaarata. He was so kind that he didn't intervene during Chinese accession of Tibbet. How can anyone be unhappy with such Uncle Jawaahar?

India must tell Pakistan that if any one of the snipers in LOC shoot an Indian soldier, Then the water treaty will NOT be honoured by India. It was the formation of Pakistan who demanded to be separated from India, SO why the fuss about the water treaty ? If you decide to go separate ways , then why you want to milk India's resources ???.

Dear friends I am from Srinagar resident of Jammu kashmir... Indus water treaty is biggest injustices done to Jammu and Kashmir because we are no where a party to it.. as these are state resources and first beneficiaries should be jammu kashmir... later a cooperative federal principle should be followed.... these resources could alleviate poverty in Jammu and Kashmir enrich employment and gradually change the hearts of alienation of people of jk towards India... anyways politics and pseudo nationalists won’t understand my point... please don’t use abusive language....

It's not between two indian states but two nations, so the sole authority to decide is the federal Govt. Kindly look at the Spending of Govt per capita in j&k vs any other state of the Union, before claiming alienation of people.

Jawahar Lal Nehru was in love with British Undivided India, which meant that he was unable to reconcile with the 1947 partition. As a result, he did not feel it was important to protect the rights of Independent India and was more concerned about coercing Pakistan back. THAT'S WHAT IS CALLED A BLOODY FOOL, WHICH NEHRU WAS!

India going to neutralize Indus Water Treaty(1960) In 3 Phases.. Phase 1-India deviate water in 3 southern Indus tributaries Sutlej, Beas and Ravi making Punjab, Rajasthan(IG Canal) and Banks of Yamuna(SY Link) More irrigated. It adversily affect Pak Punjab Phase 2-India deviate water in Northern Indus rivers Chenab, Jhelum and Indus making Kashmir, Ladakh get more irrigated. It will dry up PoK, Northern Pakistan Phase 3-The water from Indus tributaries will deviate to Peninsular Rivers by Water Corridors. Summer flood water in Indus rivers will byepass to Cauvery, Godawary, Kirishna, Tapti and Narmada Completion of 3 phases make exponential growth in agriculture and Power Generation.Moreover,the dams built in these Indus Rivers not only serve as Drying agents for Pakistan but also act as Waterbombs during war time.!!!
They will left the panjab .....and go to pesawar
This mess is also gift if Nehru. There is a clause says brotherhood. No brotherhood no water. Lets use this clause.
cancel this treaty !!!!!
