India diverting Water and Power from occupied Kashmir to Rajasthan to dry Pakistan

India creating millions of acre feet of live storage on six rivers in violation of IWT to deprive Pakistan of water for Rabi and early Kharif crops. Pakistan will be deprived of about 10 maf of dead storage and about 15 maf of live storage by the year 2016 on completion of network of dams on six rivers.

Water is life-saving natural resource but is used by India as Weapon of mass Destruction because of wrong partition of India

Unjust partition of India by the British created Kashmir dispute and water issues that may lead to nuclear conflict in South Asia

India is building dozens of dams on each river specially on Chinab and Jehlum,  diverting millions of acre feet of dead storage and live storage from occupied Kashmir to Rajasthan besides hydropower. This is violation of IWT. The Indus Waters Treaty provides generation of hydropower on run-of-the-river with no or nominal live storage. It does not allow to build 827 feet high Barsar Dam to create huge dead and live storage. India is building substantial cumulative dead and live storage to run Pakistan dry and deprive it of Rabi and Kharif crops.

Over and above, India is drawing seepage water of rivers as groundwater through tube wells that is actually the perennial river flow. This reduces perennial flow to Pakistan. Chinab River flow has dropped from 21 maf to 14 maf after the construction of Baglihar Dam. It shows 7 maf of water disappeared from Chinab so far.

Indian intension is not to allow a drop of water from Chinab and Jehlum rivers go down to Pakistan during the keen demand period for Rabi and early Kharif crops. India is bent upon turning the land of five sparkling, live rivers into the land of dead rivers.

India is building hundreds of very high (827 feet, 475 feet …) to medium and small sized dams on the Indus, the Jehlum, Chinab, Ravi, Sutlege and Bias rivers including their tributaries in occupied Kashmir. This will stop perennial flow of water to Pakistan for a period of about 6 to 7 winter months. India plans to convert the world’s largest contiguous canal irrigation system into desert. This is blatant violation of the IWT and the international laws on water rights of lower riparian.

India plans to build a network of dams on six rivers inter-connecting their perennial flows with in the catchment area of occupied Kashmir using the full slope potential of each river. The network plan will be completed by 2016. By then, it will completely cut-off Rabi and early Kharif water supplies to Pakistan that it inherits since 2600 BC. The perennial storage water would be diverted to Rajistan. Partition of India cannot snatch water rights. The boundary line has to be re-drawn if nuclear war is to be avoided.

Tarbela and Mangla have silted up by 6 maf. This lost replacement storage requires to be replenished under the Treaty as Pakistan gave perennial flow of the three Eastern rivers to India and got in exchange perennial stored water. This stored water needs to be replenished perennially after its silting up.

India misuses the natural water resource as weapon of mass destruction, to covert Pakistan into desert, and to subject 200 million of population to sever famine and hunger.

Britain is responsible for wrong partition of the sub-continent. It enabled India to destroy Pakistan by using water as a weapon of destruction. Britain is responsible for genocide by Indian Army in occupied Kashmir. Britain will also be responsible for subjecting 200 million Pakistani to die of famine and hunger. Britain will be responsible for food riots as Pakistan, its tribal areas of FATA and Afghanistan will face famine. This will make the sub-continent the centre of terror activities. The whole sub-continent may fall to terrorism. May be the situation ultimately leads to nuclear war. Let us prevent all this horror.

Britain handed over all the canal head works to India along with the occupied Kashmir the source of origin of the six rivers and the Muslim majority area. This is great injustice. It has sown the seed of nuclear war. Britain subjected the lives of 1.4 billion people to the risk of nuclear war because of its Divide and Rule Policy. Nuclear war is hanging on the sub-continent as the sword of Damocles.

In view of all above, the British Government may be requested to re-demarcate the boundary line with the active diplomatic support of USA, UN and the world nations keeping in view the UN 60 years old resolution on Kashmir. The earth cannot face dangerous radioactive environment as a result of nuclear war. Let human being on earth use conscience and avoid war. Let they settle problems through UN. The UN should do justice so that war is avoided.

Therefore, water issues and Kashmir dispute do not only concern Pakistan and India but the whole world. India may show graciousness to vacate occupied Kashmir the Muslim majority area in exchange for the State of Hyderabad Daccan, the State of Junagarh and Manawadar- Hindu majority areas but acceded to Pakistan.

A nuclear war in the sub-continent should send shivers around the world as it would damage the whole environment on earth. After all, it is not only a matter about the destruction of the sub-continent but of the whole earth itself.

Nuclear radiation would cause radioactive rains, land under crop would become radioactive, sources of drinking water would become radioactive, and weather would change drastically. It would cause rapid depletion of ozone layer. All life form would cease to exist, as there would be no photosynthesis. Radioactivity would bring genetic changes in all living creatures including human beings after many decades. It would cause genetic abnormalities.  

India did not settle Kashmir dispute according to UN resolution for the past 60 years. India is boldly violating IWT. India uses water as the weapon of mass destruction. India that wears the garb of democracy killed hundred thousands of Kashmiri. India is now planning to kill 200 million Pakistani by stopping perennial water for Rabi and early Kharif causing famine and hunger. India should not force Pakistan to become nuclear suicide bomber. I pray good sense prevails so that human misery ends.
