India Suspends Indus Waters Treaty

India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan following a terror attack. In response, Pakistan has initiated a 'scare narrative' suggesting that China might stop the flow of the Brahmaputra River to India. Himanta Biswa Sarma, Chief Minister of India — Assam, has publicly refuted these claims, providing hydrological data to demonstrate that the Brahmaputra River's flow is predominantly generated within India, not dependent on upstream contributions from China. He also noted that China has not officially threatened to weaponize the Brahmaputra. The situation highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions and water resource management challenges between India and Pakistan, with China's potential actions on the Brahmaputra River also being a point of discussion, particularly concerning its proposed 'Great Bend Dam'.
