The Coming Food Crisis in South Asia

[Vikramaditya1]

India should have at least 1 year of grain reserves. So, it can handle that. In fact, it can earn hefty price now.

What if there is a wheat supply crunch like we had at the beginning of Russia Ukraine war. Money wasn't the problem, supply was.

What if there is a wheat supply crunch like we had at the beginning of Russia Ukraine war. Money wasn't the problem, supply was.

Based on data from early 2026, India's stored grain, combined with anticipated production, is more than sufficient to supply its population for over a year. As of April 2026, the Indian government reported food grain stocks (wheat and rice) at roughly three times the required buffer norms.

just saying that Pak pop can reach 390 million by 2050.
Pakistan needs at least 6.8% growth rate

That would be a disaster. The country is already overcrowded. Lahore to Islamabad to Peshawar is becoming one giant urban area with very little open green space in between.

6.8% or whatever % of growth isn't going to solve anything. Not today, not tomorrow.

What will eventually help is if Pakistanis in Pakistan stop BREEDING like there is no tomorrow. Within my lifetime Pakistan's population has grown by over 30 Million. That's just insane, and for a poor country like Pakistan, its actually pathetic. Folks in Pakistan see it as some kind of achievement, whereas anyone with half a braincell will see it for what it is.

it is not possible. look at the map.
Why would India store it? Generate electricity

Whichever way you look at it, india tried using water as a weapon and a threat. modi in his address did not say we need this water to generate electricity, he clearly said "this water will benefit our own farmers and our land".

It is the intent which we are looking at rather than the availability of means or possibility to carry out that intent.

the water has to be released. that amount of water cannot be stored indefinitely unless you want to make your country a gigantic lake

So what is the indian goal here? Drama? Fooling their own people?

For Pakistan, whether they store it or try to divert it or even use the treaty to blackmail is a threat.

I am assuming large amounts of cheap hydroelectricity

I am assuming large amounts of cheap hydroelectricity

That is not the declared objective it seems, is it stated anywhere? Modi said in one of his speeches that "we will use this water for our own farmers".

If within your lifetime ( your claim) Pakistan's population has grown by 30 million then you are hardly a 10 years old kid ... you are doing well for your age.
