The Indus Water Treaty, signed in Karachi by Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani president Ayub Khan on 19 September 1960, allowed only 19.71% of the total discharge of the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj to India and gifted 80.29% to Pakistan. Not only this, for the 10-years transition period (1960-70), India had to give the water from Ravi, Beas and Satluj to canals in West Pakistan's eastern part until Pakistan developed a canal system to carry the waters of the western rivers Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab. And for building that canal system, India had to give FOREIGN EXCHANGE EQUIVALENT OF 125 METRIC TONS OF GOLD. In 1965, India was forced into a war against Pakistan but continued to give it waters from the eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, and Satluj, and, more shockingly, also forex equivalent of 12.5 metric tons of gold every year until 1970. Nothing in the world comes anywhere close to this great generosity and magnanimity by an upper riparian nation for to a lower riparian one.

@AstroCounselKK Want to see Yogi Ji as HM or education minister for 5 years before taking up a larger role. Education ministry is equally critical as home on long term basis
@MohanMOdisha@HMOIndia Is this the way the new BJP govt is acting on corruption in the system? Corrupt officials are being rewarded with postings in the state secretariat to get better opportunity in looting the state exchequer.
My dream has always been to do something significant for the country and the Northeast Region,” IAS officer Dhiman Chakma once said.
Then came reality:
Caught red-handed accepting a ₹10 lakh bribe
₹47 lakh recovered during Vigilance raids
Arrested and suspended
And now, back in service as Deputy Secretary in the Revenue Department
Quite a remarkable journey—from lofty ideals to cash seizures and a return to the corridors of power.

@MumbaichaDon Fantastic infrastructure is being developed. But doctors in the hospital are most corrupt- worst than congress leaders. It will benefit people only if private practice of drs are completely banned for drs working there.
@SHEKARSUSHEEL Interesting insights on the market size… actual size seems larger considering large no of unorganised players and higher cost per unit in urban centres
@mumbaiheritage Firstly all development prioritised on western line . Thane & eastern line getting residual treatment. Govt needs to decentralise Mumbai and focus to improve 10 other cities of Maharashtra for balanced growth & better risk mgmt. @Dev_Fadnavis Time to think beyond Mumbai
कॉंग्रेस का काला अध्याय
71. 26 मई 1976 आपातकाल के बीच लोकतंत्र का गला घोटने के बाद इंदिरा गांधी जी ने आज दो काम किए,पहला नार्थ ईस्ट में बर्मा की तरफ़ से बिना पासपोर्ट बिना वीजा 40 किलोमीटर तक बेरोकटोक आइए,मणिपुर,नागालैंड,मिज़ोरम में अशांति फैलाइए,आदिवासी भाइयों को धर्मांतरण कर बरगलाइए भारत सरकार आपको ईनाम देगी।मोदी जी की सरकार ने 40 साल बाद 2016 में इसे ख़त्म किया जिसका विरोध परिणाम अभी मणिपुर में दिख रहा है ।26 मई 1976 को ही 40 वाँ संविधान संशोधन हुआ जिसने संविधान की मूल भावना पर चोट किया,यह सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश केशवानंद भारती के खिलाफ था।इसके विरोध में जयप्रकाश नारायण जी ने आज ही यानि 26 मई 1976 को जनता पार्टी निर्माण की नींव रखी जिसने गांधी परिवार को 1977 में उखाड़ फेंका
