India Revisits Water Treaties with Pakistan and Bangladesh Amid Strategic and Political Shifts
India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan since April 2025, following a terror attack, as part of a strategic approach to counter Pakistan's low-intensity aggression under nuclear deterrence. Meanwhile, India and Bangladesh are preparing to renegotiate the 1996 Ganga Water Treaty, with discussions expected to address broader political, institutional, and ecological changes beyond water sharing. Both cases highlight evolving water diplomacy amid shifting regional security and political dynamics.
