After the Pahalgam attack in Jammu and Kashmir, there is anger in the whole country. Terrorists have once again openly killed innocent people in the name of religion. 26 people have lost their lives in this attack, and many people have also been harmed by it. Damage to the image of Muslims, damage to the image of those Kashmiris who do business there, whose business is connected with tourists coming from every part of the country, or those Kashmiris who are Muslims and live in other parts of the country to study or work. Now the question is, what do terrorists and Pakistan want to do in India? Also, let us understand when and where attacks were carried out in the name of religion in India before this.
Although Pakistan does not directly mention its role in the Pahalgam attack, its involvement in spoiling the atmosphere in India through terrorism is a constant effort. If you look at the last 45 years, Pakistan and its allies have continuously used terrorism as a weapon against India at many places in India. To spoil the atmosphere in India, the intelligence agency of Pakistan has been targeting Hindus. And here is one more thing, if we talk about its method, then a big thing is seen in it, that Pakistan has been continuously using the Lashkar of Jihad or the Indian minority, who can be brainwashed, and through them, Hindus have been targeted. Now, through all this, Pakistan tries to bring India into a situation like civil war, so that a rift between Hindus and Muslims starts, and people start hating each other. Apart from this, Pakistan also tries to weaken India tactically, militarily, or politically. Apart from this, Pakistan also tries to make the Hindus of India stand against the Muslims of India. So that the Two-Nation Theory can be proved right. On 16th April, a speech by Pakistan’s Seva President Channel Asif Munir went viral on social media. He gave an aggressive speech criticizing the Quran. The Paigam attack was also linked to this. It was believed that this Bhushan did not instigate it. However, the Two-Nation Theory collapsed in 1971 when East Pakistan was separated from Pakistan and Bangladesh was formed. But even today, the atmosphere in Pakistan remains bad. If you look, you get news of blasts from there. The Western Areas of Pakistan, which include only proper places, etc., are included. The Muslims there are also seen to be constantly angry with the newspapers running in Pakistan, and they have become liberal even at the time of death. Overall, when India-Pak were divided, Syed Ahmed Khan created the Two-Nation Story, which was popularized by Mohammad Ali Jinnah. If you look at Pakistan’s Two-Nation Theory according to the current situation, it appears that Pakistan wants India should be divided into two ideologies in some way, and the easiest way is to pit Hindus against minorities. For this, Hindus have been targeted and attacked in India. The first time Hindus were specifically targeted and killed in Punjab was on October 5, 1983. A bus going to Kapurthala was stopped on the way. The terrorists took out the good Hindus from the bus and shot them. This incident caused a lot of anger among the people in the whole country, and the Prime Minister of that time, Indira Gandhi, dismissed the Darbar Singh government of Punjab and imposed President’s rule. Talking about Punjab, after this, a new phase of terror started in Kashmir from 1989. Gradually, an organization also emerged whose name was the Indian Mujahideen. The organization was associated with ISI and was engaged in carrying out many big bomb blasts in the country. In the Delhi blast in 2005, 62 people were killed. In 2008, 63 people died in Jaipur, and then 20 people were killed in Delhi in 2008. If you see, in the last 45 years, there have been more than 100 attacks in which Hindus were targeted. By 1994, Punjab extremists also started joining the attackers. Reports of this also kept coming to us. Now you can see the complete list here of when Hindu terrorists targeted people and how many deaths occurred in it. In this, see the Dilwa bus attack, which happened in 1983, where there were six deaths. Especially, our Hindus were targeted. After this comes the Fatehabad bus attack, which happened in 1987; there were 34 deaths. If we talk about the Lalru bus attack, it happened in 87, 38 deaths occurred here. Similarly, the Rudrapur Ramlila bomb blast happened in 1991, there were 41 deaths. The Ludhiana train massacre happened in 1991, and 125 deaths occurred here. And the Chennai RSS office bomb blast happened in 1993, 11 murders were carried out there. Lajpat Nagar is an area in Delhi, There was a bomb blast in New Delhi. In 96, 13 deaths occurred here. Similarly, the Dausa bomb blast, which happened in Rajasthan, was in 96. 14 deaths occurred in this as well. After this, you see the Coimbatore bomb blast in 98, 58 deaths occurred. Amarnath pilgrims were attacked in August 2000, and 21 deaths occurred here. This attack happened in August 2000, and 19 deaths occurred in this as well. Talking about the Raghunath temple attack in Jammu, it happened in March and November 2002, in which there were 12 deaths and then 14 deaths. Talking about the Akshardham temple attack, it happened in 2002, and 33 deaths occurred there. Talking about the Nadi Marg massacre, it is related to Kashmiri Pandits, and here it happened in 2003, 24 were killed. Talking about the Delhi High Court, Vandana, it happened in 2011, 15 deaths occurred. Similarly, there is a long list. If you look at this list, the Mumbai blast is also included in it. If we talk about 26/11, it is not included because you will see that the politics of Pakistan is such that it has been continuously targeting the unity of India in front of the world, but India also knows how to fight and the Indian government has now promised that it will give a befitting reply to the terrorists.
How will India stop Pakistan’s water? A foolproof plan is here! Indus Water Treaty
The security situation in Jammu and Kashmir is very sensitive after the terrorist attack. 26 tourists lost their lives, most of whom were from India. More than 20 people were injured. The current situation in Kashmir is very sensitive, and the administration is taking strict measures to ensure security. The tourists and local citizens are being advised that they will have to follow the official instructions at all costs. We are saying that the agreements here have been cancelled, which also includes the Indus Water Treaty. How can the Indian government cancel it? How will it stop its water? For this, first of all, you need to know what the Indus Water Treaty is. It is a historical treaty that was signed between India and Pakistan in 1960 under the mediation of the World Bank. The then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, signed it. Pakistan’s President Mohammad Ayub Khan signed it, and with the help of the World Bank, seven rivers were included in it. See, a total of six rivers were included in it. What was the objective? First of all, you should know that the water of the Indus River system should be divided between India and Pakistan so that there is no conflict between the two countries over water in the future. Its only objective was to now Which are the six rivers included in this, which have been signed third, first of all we will talk about the eastern rivers which have been given to India, in which the water of Ravi, Beas and Sutlej is completely in India’s account, India has got full rights over the water of these rivers and the western rivers which were given to Pakistan include the Indus river, apart from Indus there are two more rivers which are known as Jhelum and Chenab, these are three rivers in the west, India is allowed
limited use on these as well, like irrigation, hydroelectric projects, but without stopping or collecting the water, the rights that India got in the eastern rivers include Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, Pakistan got rights over the western rivers which include Jhelum, Chenab and Indus, so India got permission to use the western rivers for non-consumptive use, like irrigation, hydroelectric projects on a limited basis, so what were the things on most of the western rivers, we told you and what permission was given to do, which includes run of the river i.e. hydro projects, now India can build dams like this without water rock. It has been assured that in the cases where objections have been lodged regarding those projects, India has been continuously trying to find a way to cancel this treaty, now because the cancellation of the treaty will also have an impact. Pakistan may face a huge water crisis because its dependence on the Indus and Jhelum is very high. International pressure will increase on India, especially for using water as a weapon. This will put pressure on India, and this can make Indo-Pak relations more tense. The situation can become even more serious than it is now. How can the Indian government cancel it? The question is, does the Indian government have the capability to cancel the Indus Water Treaty? Technically, yes, but if seen practically, it is very complex and risky because the situation will become even more tense, because this is an international treaty. This treaty has been signed by both sides. As I told you, this treaty was signed in 1960 under the mediation of the World Bank, and no party can unilaterally end it. This is the truth. Unless there is a case of serious violation of international law, let us talk about the treaty in the 1969 Convention. According to the treaty, India can try to cancel the treaty if the other party, that is, Pakistan, repeatedly violates the treaty, that is, national security is in danger, such that the basic purpose of the treaty is lost. The treaty was signed for this. There will also be practical obstacles, such as international pressure. This treaty is considered an ideal water sharing agreement, and canceling it can harm India’s global credibility. The World Bank also has a role in this. The World Bank is the guarantor of this. Removing it will be legally and diplomatically complex. It will be very difficult. Pakistan’s process of stopping water can lead to war because Pakistan’s agriculture is completely dependent on it, and that is why it is in discussion.

Pakistan’s process of stopping water can lead to war because Pakistan’s agriculture is completely dependent on it, and that is why it is in discussion.
What is India doing in such a situation? Although India has not canceled it, India raises the issue of reviewing the treaty. In 2023-25, maximum use of western rivers has started for hydroelectric projects, storage irrigation. In this, a notice was sent to Pakistan that the treaty should be amended. Now, in the midst of all this, what is the conclusion? After all, this has become a very complex problem. The Government of India has canceled the Indus Water Treaty under the legal and political process. You can try to do it, but it is not possible to cancel it directly unless there is a deep international reason and support from India. You cannot cancel it like this; the process of cancelling treaties is only under international law, and you can cancel it under the same. What are the legal optionsThe Vienna Treaty Agreement Act 1969, which is being cited, which is the Law of Twentieth, can be cancelled or not possible based on Pakistan’s continued aggression, including terrorist attacks, the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, violation of the treaty, or threat to national security. In India’s action 2023 and 25, the Indian government had also talked about review and practical suspension of the treaty. Measures to stop water were also started, such as accelerating the dam project, how can this be done and apart from this, diverting the excess water towards India, especially in Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab, how can India stop the water, the question is arising, what can be the possible measures for this, then India will have to build dams and reservoirs, run of river hydro projects can be built on the western rivers, which are valid under the treaty, you can come up with new projects, if you divert the water, then how are you using it, diverting the water, the excess water of Jhelum and Chenab can be used for irrigation and agriculture in Jammu and Kashmir, but the big question is where is agriculture, storage there You can stop water by building small reservoirs. As per the treaty, limited storage is allowed. There will be practical challenges as well, including the geographical difficulties, due to the mountainous area. There will be international pressure, the World Bank, the United Nations, Pakistan’s process, and a situation like a possible war can also arise. The situation is still the same. What will be the consequences? Pakistan may face a severe shortage of water because its dependence on the Indus and Jhelum is more than 80%. International pressure will increase on India, especially if India uses water as a weapon, and this will put pressure on India. This will make Indo-Pak relations more tense. The situation will become worse than it is now, so India cannot directly cancel the Indus Water Treaty, in common language, but it can ignore or suspend it, especially when national security is at risk. And for this, work is going on on both diplomatic and technical fronts.
