The book traces the turbulent history of the Indus Basin and examines how the Indus Water Treaty has been shaped by the region’s ever-evolving political dynamics. It explores the role of key leaders on both sides, as well as external factors, in shaping and reshaping one of the world’s most critical transboundary water agreements that is currently in news because of India’s decision to suspend the treaty in the wake of Pahalgam terror attack.

Dr. Shalini Chawla @shalinichawla04, Distinguished Fellow, Centre for Aerospace Power and Strategic Studies (CAPSS) @CAPS_INDIA; Dr. Ashish Shukla, Associate Fellow, MP-IDSA; and Smt.

The detailed analysis of the incident: https://t.co/s8nJCaHmgR

[Ashish Shukla @ACPSHUKLA]

Does it suggest that Pakistan Army killed some of the missing persons in Balochistan and included them in the list of BLA fighter that got killed during rescue operation. #JaffarExpressHijacked
