zen Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 For a hydro project. Ind to evaluate how this impacts it China goes about its biz quietly. Ind did drama and chest thumping so hopefully the hydro projects have started on Indus River System tweaker 1
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 This will not make muc difference.Remember that only 30% of the total flow of Brahmaputra comes from Chian the rest n India and BD.
beetle Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 This is not new news...it has been going on for some time and India has been raising objection on this. Time to listen to J&K chief minister's plea that J&K need more water...I am sure all the northern states need more water for irrigation.Let us learn from our enemy's friend.

The river linking has started.Soon we will divert water from Indus Delta.
Tibarn Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 More of such things will happen soon enough, it's not related to recent events as Radhika says. China is actually losing/has lost a lot of water over the last few decades. Their two biggest rivers, Yellow and Yangtze, have both shown declining water levels. A few years ago, the Chinese government did a study on their waterways, over a span of 3 years, and found that only around 23,000 of their rivers remain of their original total of around 50,000.
Tibarn Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/chinese-goods-made-in-china-facebook-whatsapp-social-media-campaign-diwali/1/782272.html Quote A social media campaign to boycott 'Made in China' goods, in a rebuttal to its continued support for Pakistan and for voting in the United Nations against Indian interests, has begun to show results. Traders at some of the biggest wholesale markets across the country have reported 10 to 20 percent fall in demand for "cheaper" Chinese wares. ... India is a huge market of Chinese items as they are cheaper. According to an estimate, the volume of Chinese goods during eight to 12 weeks ahead of festive seasons falls in the vicinity of Rs 1000 crore in Delhi alone. There are similar wholesale inventories of imports from China in all major cities of the country. ... The campaign began with a fake letter which was claimed to be signed by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi which urged the Indian consumer to use swadeshi products during Diwali and repulse Chinese goods. Fake letter ka impact. MechEng 1
sourab10forever Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Completely happy with this ... I think we are capable of producing all the goods that we are importing from China except smartphones and other gadgets. Should go for an outright boycott. sandeep and MechEng 2
Vilander Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 get the trade deficit down. But needs a careful analysis, what about ore exports will they be impacted if China stops ore import from India. What are the finished goods that India does not need from china, call out dumping. Effective way is to have yearly targets for deficit reduction.
chewy Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 Boycott all the plastic imports from China India has capability

Even the laptop or mobile device most are using to support this petition are made in China.

Tibarn Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 There are scores of photo-shopped images with all kinds of Hollywood actors/actresses endorsing a boycott. My favorite is this one with Natalie Portman MechEng and sandeep 2
sourab10forever Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Some Bihar village kacheri has completely banned use of Chinese good and those found using them will be fined.
Tibarn Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Assam CM has asked for a ban on Chinese goods. It may be a bad idea to do it at the government level, but, at the civilian level, it could be a very good movement. This is especially true if it expands. velu 1
BeautifulGame Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 And I thought it couldn't get any funnier
The Outsider Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Can't recall where some idiot was arguing about breaking the Indus River Water treaty, so posting here. India doesn't have the infrastructure or the balls to renege on the treaty as has been demonstrated in the recent past.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Infrastructure can only be developed once we pull out of the IWT. And India can withdraw from the treaty and use the Vienna Convention on Law of Treaties of 1969 to withdraw.Pakistan will have no recourse except approach ICJ(where India accepts only a conditional jurisdiction). The IWT was never ratified by the parliament so lot of legal loopholes.to exploit and even if the ICJ asks for a renegotiation of treaty noway will Pakistan get 20% of water as even UN convention of on Rivers wont allow Pakistan that much of share.
