So it is OK if India build damns but not OK if China does the same?By: Jim Kuan | Friday , 6 Nov '09 15:30:41 PM Reply | Forward India has been systematically building damns and dramatically impact the livelihood of smaller countries in the region?

MoransBy: Patriot | Friday , 6 Nov '09 2:55:29 AM Reply | Forward You Guys Cannot Even have control of water resource in your country. Frist Nationalise rivers in India and have a common law of sharing water between states then you can talk about dam constructed by china.

did India build dams in Brahmaputra?By: subbiah | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 7:03:22 AM Reply | Forward If India did, so don't need care whether China will do it. Indian just concentrate the domestic affairs. that is my opinion.

remote sensing confirms .....By: s subramanyan | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 13:50:21 PM Reply | Forward The most effective method of remote sensing reveals China building dam across Brahmaputra but we are satisfied with a mere denial by the Chinese. Will the government of India ask the Chinese government to permit our experts to visit the area and satisfy for ourselves on this vital issue? The whole world knows that China is desperately pursuing projects to divert waters from the south flowing rivers to the north. It is too serious a matter for us to leave it to 'ritual denial by the Chinese'.

China's dam on BramhaputraBy: Kalidas | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 13:26:52 PM Reply | Forward In spite of being one of the largest country's in the world, China still wants to usurp more land, fight for extension of their nation across the borders - Tibet,etc. What is their objective, except to unsettle India. Why do they need more land? First came the plans to construct a road to the Everest last year. Now a dam. Damn it all.

Be scientific ,not impulsive and jingoistic in the river issue.By: Ishani | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 13:09:07 PM Reply | Forward Even if 25% of the Brahmaputra water is diverted then Assam's flood woes can be taken care of for good and there will not be loss of land by errosion which is chronic on the banks of the Brahmaputra.Scientists ought to comment on this issue.

FIRST NEHRU AND GANDHI SOLD INDIA TO UN BY RAISING ISSUE OF KASHMIR AS DISPUTED SITE. NOW KASHMIR IS GONE, THEN NEHRU LET TIBET GO AWAY TO CHINA, NOW HIS NEHRUVIAN IDEOLOGICAL MINISTERS ARE SELLING INCH AND INCH OF INDIA TO CHINA, PAKISTAN, USA , ITALY AND OTHERS, AND WE ALL SO CALLED CITIZENS ARE USED TO THIS.

China building damBy: peshori ahuja | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 6:39:44 AM Reply | Forward We fully agree with Yuvaraj.There was no need to go to UN on Kaskmir issue. Indian forces had driven the Pakistani forces out of Kashmir but Pandit Nehru a great nationalist wanted to prove that he was also a great interntionalist and took Kashmir issue to UN. All of us in India knew that UN was guided by UK, America, a friend of UK, France, China, then a protege of America. Russia, though on the face a friend of India but without any guts, and the UN decision would go against India. And this is what happened.In 1959 when it came to be known that China has entered Aksai Chin, Pandit Nehru told the Lok Sabha that there is nothing to worry because not even a blade of grass grow there. But unfortunately the things happened differently and we lost more than 3000 lives in 1962 attack by China. Apart from those killed we were left with thousands disabled.The way things are proceeding clearly show that Yuvaraj's assessment, though very alarming, is going to be true. is

On which Planet do you Live?By: ABC | Thursday , 5 Nov '09 2:46:44 AM Reply | Forward India accepted China's rule over Tibet in 1907. Nehru was 18 years old and had nothing to do with it. Kashmir is not gone and will never be gone! Be grateful to Nehru!

compare maps pre By: Indian | Friday , 6 Nov '09 13:07:33 PM Reply | Forward Stupid fool.look at eth map of India before independence & now.You will realise how much we have lost.extremely idiotic

Lets Look at the Map Of India Before Independence!By: ABC | Friday , 6 Nov '09 23:18:08 PM Reply | Forward It doesn't include Jammu Kashmir Ladakh, Hyderabad, Mysore, Junagadh along with many others. It includes Pakistan and Bangladesh. Johnson Line was drawn unilaterally and so was McMahon Line. Chinese were scared and were removed from discussions by British. What we got was the best compromise. Thanks to Nehru and Patel! You don't know what you're saying. Rant with no essence. Just cry and cry, and blame Nehru. Along Chinese border, we got exactly what British and Hari Singh controlled at the time of Independence.

Desh BhaktaBy: JK | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 12:56:42 PM Reply | Forward I liked the comments , specially from Chinku Chor . Thanks Man you are great !!! Now let us be realistic. That part of river is under china controlled Tebet. So don't they have rights to control the water same way as we control the water from Jammu

Since 1947 Congress has let India downBy: YD | Wednesday , 4 Nov '09 12:22:02 PM Reply | Forward Where is goofee ? Has he gone underground ? Or he is consulting "inner voice". If "maut ke saudagers" were in government, Chinese would not have constructed any dams, Pakis would not have made India sweat and India wouldn't be sick joke.
