India and Pakistan are sharing five rivers amongst themselves. Due to the natural advantage, the Indians can change the course of these rivers and deny Pakistan every drop of water! Yet, India and the Pakistani governments made a deal i.e. India can play around with two rivers but they are not allowed to touch three other rivers!! India must allow Pakistan to have the water from three rivers without any question or dispute.
Bangladesh is a river oriented country and it’s peoples lives and livelihood depends on water. India and Bangladesh share many mighty rivers but unlike the five Pakistani rivers mentioned above, India can not divert any of these other rivers! Yet, India have been denying water to Bangladeshi’s during the dry season and dumping most waters down stream during the wet season!!
Therefore the question is, “why is India so cruel to the Bangladeshis”? Is it because the Bangladeshis do not have nuclear bombs?
My object is to find a peaceful solution and I believe the united voice of reasonable people can create peace and maintain peace without the use of guns and bullets. However, for the record, prior to 9/11, India was ready to invade Pakistan based on some silly reasoning. Not surprisingly, the Pakistani nuclear bomb deterred them from a blood bath! Would you believe, since then, the Indians and Pakistani governments have introduced a mechanism such as “Hot Line” as well as a few more mechanisms, to avoid war.
