News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is talk of India and Pakistan, pictures of cannons, tanks, missiles and fighter planes start roaming in our mind. We have always looked at the relations between the two countries through the prism of military strength. But what if we tell you that India has a weapon more powerful than a ‘nuclear bomb’, which will not require even a single bullet to be fired, and will bring Pakistan to its knees in no time?
This is not a mere imagination, but a reality, which can be revealed A prestigious think tank in Australia The report has done. This report has given sleepless nights to the rulers of Pakistan and has exposed to the world the ‘silent power’ of India, towards which very few people had paid attention till now.
What is this ‘infallible Brahmastra’ of India?
This is an infallible weapon – Water,
Yes, you heard it right. The ‘main switch’ of the water that runs like blood in the veins of Pakistan is in the hands of India. To understand this, we have to understand a little geography.
called the lifeline of Pakistan Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej Like almost all the big rivers go to Pakistan through India. between the two countries in 1960 ‘Indus Waters Treaty’ A treaty was signed under which the water of these rivers was divided. Under this treaty, India can use the water of the eastern rivers (Ravi, Beas, Sutlej) without any restrictions, while Pakistan has to give most of the water of the western rivers (Indus, Jhelum, Chenab).
Then how can India use it?
This is where India’s biggest strategic bet lies.
- The Achilles heel of Pakistan – Agriculture: Pakistan’s economy is still mainly dependent on agriculture. About 80% of its agriculture depends on the water provided by these rivers. If this water stops, there will be an outcry in Pakistan.
- India’s ‘dam’ bet: The Indus Water Treaty allows India to build ‘run-of-the-river’ projects (controlling the water by building dams, rather than blocking it altogether) to generate electricity on western rivers. If India speeds up its projects on these rivers, it can control the flow of these rivers whenever it wants.
Imagine what would happen if…
If India reduces the flow of water through these dams even for a few weeks or months, then drought like conditions will arise in Pakistan.
- Crops will be destroyed.
- A terrible food crisis will arise in the country.
- The economy will completely collapse.
- Riots may start among people over water, which may create a civil war-like situation in the country.
This will be a disaster from which Pakistan will take decades to recover. and all this will happen Without firing a single bullet, without sending a single soldier across the border,
The Australian report has described this ‘hydro-strategy’ as India’s biggest non-military weapon. This report makes it clear that the war of the 21st century will be fought not only on borders, but also on fronts like water, economy and technology. And on this front, India has the ‘lifeline’ of Pakistan in its hands, which it can tighten a little whenever it wants.
