This is a news thread for the utterly
confused, the complete newbies, for the
confused billis who have no clue why and
how the world works!
We read a news headline and we go in a deep meditative
screen gaze! Wut the hell keeps on happening everyday! I
just understood surgical strikes the other day and a friend

11/15/2016 3 points of confusion around the Indus water treaty and the way forward – Civilsdaily
popped up the question of – what is cold doctrine, what is
tactical strike, what is our no nuke first policy, what is our
doctrine of attack across 3 wings of army, airforce and navy!
I had no clue. I was busy researching on this indus water
treaty! Why did Nehru ji sign this at all!! Anyway – here is my
confused research
Confusion Level 1 – What is this indus water treaty?
Are there other treaties that we have signed with
other neighbours?
After independence we had conflict with Pak over most of the
things no! So the 6 rivers that flow through that border area –
Pak took these three western rivers (the Indus, the Chenab
and the Jhelum)
India took these three eastern rivers (the Beas, the Ravi and
the Sutlej)
But India got 20% control over Indus waters!
Who brokered the deal? World Bank! Also, also – this was no
water sharing – it was plain, simple partition! Rivers ka bhi
partition.
Do we have river sharing anywhere? YES. I was thinking
bangladesh, nepal and china and I found this.
“Bangladesh, the eastern neighbour with which India hopes
to resolve differences on sharing of Teesta and Feni rivers, is
crisscrossed by over 300 rivers, 54 of which are common
with India.”

(http://www.dnaindia.com/india/reportbangladeshacountry
thatshares54riverswithindia1584128)
China we know of course has influence in Brahmaputra’s
flow. And Prelims waley ye bhi pooch saktey hain –
“The Brahmaputra, one of India’s major rivers, originates in
Tibet and flows into Arunachal Pradesh and Assam before
going into Bangladesh.”

So, China did this 19 hours ago –

brahmaputratributaryimpactonwaterflowinindianot
clear/storyQVAYbO2iOBFUSynwwpyneN.html)
Think of Nepal and we have this –
A Treaty on Integrated Development of Mahakali was signed
between India and Nepal in February, 1996 which came into
force in June 1997 (Mahakali Treaty).
River in case = Sarda
Who else is left? Bhutan? Aah – I have no patience to google
it coz i have a new question!
Confusion Level 2: Can we just walk off the indus
water treaty? Just like that! Like a boss?
Modi sir to bol diye ki blood and water cannot flow together
but but Nehru Sir has signed this clause!
“Article XII of the treaty says “The provisions of this Treaty, or,
the provisions of this Treaty as modified under the provisions
of Paragraph (3), shall continue in force until terminated by a
duly ratified treaty concluded for that purpose between the
two governments.” Still if India wants to go about abrogating
it, the country should abide by the 1969 Vienna convention
on the law of treaties”
Vienna convention on laws of treaties!!! I have no time to
google it coz I wonder if let’s say we stop the flow. What next
– Do we have reservoirs to hold water? I know its not UPSC
stuff but what if there are dams and UPSC just asks about
PRELIMS ques on those!!!
I found that india has no storage facility on western rivers.
Okay, I googled about Vienna Treaty and India’s case in it
and found that India has neither signed nor ratified the law on
treaties

(http://swarajyamag.com/world/howindiacanunilaterally

But, hypothetically if in case we break the treaty – what do
we get!
– India will get more share from Indus and will help in
developing Irrigation and HEP in J&K.
– However many neighbours like Nepal and Bangladesh with
whom we’ve water treaties may go sceptical.
– China may get an excuse to build even more dams at
Brahmaputra and we can’t oppose forcefully.
Confusion Level 3: What do experts say on this. Coz
opeds likhne to band nahi hue. Every human who
has an opinion and a laptop is writing sagas over
this.
Here’s what I found –
WB Says: At most the World Bank would step into, as per
the treaty, to appoint a “neutral expert”, or help set up a Court
of Arbitration, in case of a dispute.
Expert 1: India does not have the enough storage facility to
create a supply problem immediately for Pakistan.
“It has to raise its dam structures and that will take time.
There is also another angle to it. India, even if it wants to,
cannot take the water out of Kashmir Valley. So, the water of
the three rivers (Indus, Jhelum and Chenab) will remain in
their basin and India cannot divert that to other areas due to
geographical reasons. India can stop the supply for some
time, but cannot divert it.”
Expert on China: China is quietly signalling India that any
abrogation of the Indus Waters Treaty to punish its all
weather friend Pakistan will have consequences for this
country as well.
All this tells me that kuch nahi hone wala. Ek Mains ka ques
banega shayad but Prelims… maybe yes.

And this is wayyy to information to munch over – cost benefit ratio rules it out.

Thanks for the appreciation. The tone and tenor of this profile will be of an inquisitive,
dumb newbie who tries to discover things by the first principles.
This initiative is open to themes suggested by the users so feel free to put in your
comments of what do you want to read on next (or else the billi will follow her own route).
– Expect 23 good articles per week. I will ask the CD admins to tag my posts so that
you can discover easily
– @google20 (http://www.civilsdaily.com/members/google20/) – This is a story narrative
and might not get to have tables/ flow charts etc. It’s more of a tone down version of what
you will otherwise read in oped snaps, newscards and stories on CD.
Sometimes in the heat of preparation, we tend to forget about the joy of learning and
discovery which UPSC prep offers and so Confused billy is an attempt to keep things
light and sane.

Appreciate your response!
My feedback was based on the general ‘value’ with which CD has approach
guidance for civil services ..
> emphasis on quick learning – as evident from synopsis, flashcards and other
techniques
> more learning per line
Since we civil service aspirants have to read so many things.. attention span to any
article is less, especially for those who have exams round the corner ..
So your articles will essentially be targeting new comers who has luxury of time
and will go through them at ease and for people like me who have mains in next 60
days .. they [may not] have the right mindset to appreciate your hard work .. or
laugh at some of the ‘tongueincheek’ inputs in there !
Nevertheless .. I wish you all the best !
Good Luck !

Feedback duly noted. We have been quite objective with our approach in
Newscards, Opeds, Explains or for that matter even the Target Mains initiative and
this is an experiment at narrative approach.
Yes, IAS aspirants tend to have less patience for verbose stuff hence attempt is
being made here to digress a little and try to keep things light.
We understand that you guys writing mains this year will have paucity of time. And
if I am not wrong – you are dabbling with work + prep, right?

> Please provide to the point information – its easier and will help both in prelims and

Yes completely ours. No matter how many dams we make, canals etc as per the
treaty Pak cant do anything (and that’s why it was looking for a revision of the
treaty. Did something in August this year about revising the treaty)
But I guess there’s an implicit given that we cant simply stop/divert all water.
