India's Strategy to Halt Indus Water Flow to Pakistan

India announced the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty on Wednesday, following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that left 26 dead. Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring that no water from the Indus River reaches Pakistan. In a meeting led by Home Minister Amit Shah, officials discussed immediate and long-term strategies, including desilting existing dams to reduce water flow to Pakistan. The treaty, established in 1960 with World Bank mediation, allocates rights over eastern rivers to India and western rivers to Pakistan. While India seeks to advance hydroelectric projects despite Pakistani objections, it is also preparing a legal response to potential international pressure. Pakistan has reacted strongly, warning that any attempt to divert its water will be viewed as an "Act of War." The Indian government aims to minimize domestic inconvenience during this transition. sources

Revanth Reddy led a candle march on Friday to protest the recent Pahalgam terror attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals, including 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen.

Preventing Traps Set by Pakistan, Says Ex-Navy Chief Arun Prakash

Admiral Arun Prakash (retired) has warned against falling into the traps set by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) amid escalating tensions following the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives. The former Chief of Naval Staff, who was awarded the Vir Chakra during the 1971 war, emphasized that the ISI aims to deepen religious divides in India, particularly targeting Hindus and inciting violence against Kashmiri students. He criticized India's historical approach to cross-border terrorism, suggesting it should have been treated as an act of war from the outset. Admiral Prakash called for a clear national policy to deter such attacks and advocated for a comprehensive strategy, including potential sanctions against Pakistan, which is already facing economic challenges. Following the Pahalgam attack, India has initiated seven measures against Pakistan, notably suspending the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960. sources

Maharashtra Minister Urges Hindus to "Ask Religion" After J&K Attack

Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane sparked controversy on Friday by suggesting that Hindus should inquire about the religion of shopkeepers before making purchases, following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed the lives of at least 26 people, primarily tourists. Survivors reported that terrorists asked victims to identify their religion before executing them, prompting Rane to advocate for a reciprocal approach among Hindus. Speaking in Dapoli, he urged Hindu organizations to demand this practice, stating that if terrorists can ask for religious identity before committing violence, Hindus should do the same while shopping. He further suggested that if shopkeepers claim to be Hindu, they should be able to recite the Hanuman Chalisa, and those who cannot should not be patronized. Rane also referenced Mughal emperor Aurangzeb to illustrate his point about religious respect and loyalty. sources

He also vowed to honor the bravery of 'ponywallah' Syed Adil Hussain Shah, who was killed while confronting terrorists, and announced that Maharashtra tour operators would support Shah's family.

Gunman Shot My Father, Aimed at Me: Woman's Story

A terrifying terror attack unfolded in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam, where a Kerala woman, Arathi, her father, and her twin sons were enjoying a horse ride in the picturesque Baisaran meadow. Gunshots disrupted their outing, prompting chaos as people sought safety.

Could Everything We Know About Time Be Wrong?

A groundbreaking study from the University of Surrey suggests that time may not be as linear as traditionally thought, proposing that certain quantum systems can exhibit dual arrows of time, flowing both forward and backward. Published in _Scientific Reports_, the research challenges the conventional understanding of time's irreversibility, indicating that time might be moving in reverse around us without our awareness. Lead author Dr. Andrea Rocco explains that while everyday experiences, like spilled milk, clearly illustrate time moving forward, other processes, such as a pendulum's motion, appear equally plausible in reverse. This discovery could transform our understanding of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and the universe's origins, highlighting that at the subatomic level, the laws of physics do not inherently favor a single direction of time. The study emphasizes the complexity of time's nature, particularly in the context of open quantum systems interacting with their environments. sources

Karnataka Muslims Protest J&K Attack, Seek to Prevent Unrest

In Karnataka's Tumkur, a large group of Muslims protested against a recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir that left 26 people dead, condemning it as an attempt to incite communal unrest.

Ex-Official Explains Impact of Indus Waters Treaty Suspension on Pakistan

India has several options to impact Pakistan while the Indus Waters Treaty remains suspended, according to Kushvinder Vohra, former Chairman of the Central Water Commission. With the treaty in abeyance, India is no longer required to share information on water storage or river flow with Pakistan, which could significantly affect its water management. Following the killing of 26 tourists by Pakistan-linked terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir, India halted treaty obligations, including updates on flood situations during monsoon seasons. Vohra noted that India could also revoke the treaty if Pakistan's stance does not improve. The Indus Waters Treaty, signed in 1960, governs the use of six rivers, allocating eastern rivers to India and western rivers to Pakistan, while allowing India to generate hydroelectricity under specific conditions. Regular meetings between the two countries' commissioners, however, have been disrupted, including a planned meeting in March 2020 due to the pandemic. sources
