India is obligated to obey the Treaty it signed.

Yeah, unless we can make them, they are not. There is nothing like international law, and no one is going to help us in this regard. Either you acquiesce to their demands and renegotiate the treaty, or fight a war. There are no other options in between. Clearly we have no intention/capability of the latter so its going to be the former.

The Jhelum Main shall be deemed to extend up to Verinag, and the Chenab Main up to the confluence of the river Chandra and the river Bhaga.
• • The term "Eastern Rivers" means The Sutlej, The Beas and The Ravi taken together.
  • The term Western Rivers" means The Indus, The Jhelum and The Chenab taken together.
  • The term "the Rivers" means all the rivers, The Sutlej, The Beas, The Ravi, The Indus, The Jelum and The Chenab.

Cholistan Canal is the most retarded idea ever, you won't just transform a desert. Instead introduce more efficient irritation and line up your goddamn canals, they're actively turning fertile land into desert.

Its very good idea if you see the map where canal will be build. Anyway the point was not that. The point is India stealing 1 MAF isn't big deal for Sindhi nationalist but 0.4 MAF going to Jalalpur canal from punjab own share in summer is problem.
