Hydrological warfare against Pakistan
Prof Khurram ShahzadWater wars are not inevitable. It lies in our hands and in our minds. It has been a venerable and established speculation among political experts that the worlds future wars will be fought over water, not oil. Where the whole world is fortunately lagging a bit behind for entering into this ill-fated era of hydrological warfare, it clearly seems that the subcontinent has perhaps surpassed the rest of the world with Indian courtesy. Now it has expediently forced again the region to slip into a new kind of fracas. Experts say it would be the era in which rivers, lakes and aquifers become national security assets to be fought over, or controlled through surrogate armies and client states.
