Indus Blockade treaty

Now that the war of words has ceased, looks like India is taking it to the next level. With the possibility of nuclear warfare looming in the distance but at the same time with a very minute probability, India starting with blocking the waters of the tributaries leading towards Pakistan has made its move. Although this is a direct violation of the Indus water treaty signed by India and Pakistan in 1965 after the second war between the two countries. Even though this is only a rumor that the Indian government is using this as a means to avenge the Uri attack, the real motive behind this operation is to shut out Pakistan’s agricultural sector which is one of the best in the world. But some reports of load shedding in Pakistan in the last few days have left us wondering, is the Indian plan already in motion? Electric companies have started using the excuse to the recent increase in power outages. So if this was the ploy by India to start the blockage of water, they have already thrown the first pitch onto the field. The area of concern was at the mangla dam where India has supposedly shut off the water resulting the power shortage. China on the other hand is positioned atop of India with respect to its water flow. It can easily do the same with India as India has done with Pakistan resulting in a dried up India. And since china is strategically linked with Pakistan and ready to help out at any given time, such an action would result in India getting most of its rivers blocked. At the moment, India cannot afford to carry out such a plan, neither can it fight a war when Pakistan has the backing of china. So it will be seen later what the next move will be.
