We have the most illiterate, daft and moronic politicians of any country in the entire world. India suspending the Indus Water Treaty is being tomtommed as a 'surgical water strike' by the partisan media. It is pertinent to note that less than 8% of the water in the trans-Himalayan river which originates in the springs near Mount Kailash in Tibet comes from India. The waters flow through Ladakh and Pak administered Gilgit Baltistan before emptying out in the Arabian sea south of Karachi.It begins to take shape as a mighty river, fed by it's tributaries only from Baltistan onward. We also don't have the infrastructure or wherewithal to either store the surplus water or divert it elsewhere. Similarly India blocking 16 Pakistani YouTube channels (surgical internet strike?) is projected as a befitting reply to our wayward neighbour. Instead of taking responsibility for their failure to protect innocent Indian citizens, the netas are only feeding us such inane narratives to remain in power. We the people need to see the Machiavellian moves of our leaders through the prism of rationality and logic and not get swayed by jingoistic pseudonationalism.
