I have read the Indus system will be 50% of todays flow by 2050 due to overuse, climate change and large scale timer cutting upstream.
unless the chinese or US help them with foodgrains the pakis are going to have a tough time.

US couldn't pressurise Pakistan to hand Dawood Ibrahim to India: Ex-US envoy
'Stop sending terrorists, will pull back guns'
'Stop sending terrorists, will pull back guns'
India will consider the Pakistani proposal to withdraw heavy artilleries from the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, only if Pakistan stops cross-border infiltration bids.
The Pakistani proposal to pull back artillery pieces of above 120 mm calibre by 30 km from the LoC
and the Indian response came during the two-day Indo-Pakistan conventional and nuclear CBMs dialogue that began in Islamabad on Monday.
Government sources said the Pakistani side, led by Munawar Saeed Bhatti, additional secretary in the foreign ministry, made the proposal to his Indian counterpart, Yash Sinha, to strengthen the 2003 ceasefire agreement.
But the Indian concern is if it pulls back its 130-mm and 155-mm Bofors artillery guns by 30 km, it will not be able to target the terrorist launch-pads across the LoC in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, as the field guns have a maximum range of 27-28 km with normal-range shells.
The artilleries also act as a deterrent against any Pakistani army adventure.
During discussions with joint secretary DB Venkatesh Varma on nuclear CBMs, Bhatti expressed concern over the threat posed by India's nuclear and conventional arsenal to Pakistani capital Islamabad and indicated that there should be a broad parity in nuclear deterrence.
But New Delhi stuck to the position that its military and nuclear posture was aimed at countering threats, not only from South Asia but also beyond -- especially China.
Besides, it said the linkages between Pakistan and China through PoK meant that India had to be prepared for the two-front situation.
The two sides, however, extended two key agreements on the notification of ballistic missiles testing and reducing the risk of accidents related to nuclear weapons by five years.

Blast in Pakistan kills two children
Two children were killed and 13 others were injured when a bomb went off near the home of a tribal elder in the restive Khyber tribal region of northwest Pakistan on Saturday, officials said.
The bomb was detonated by remote control as a group of people were leaving the home of tribal elder Malik Rasool Jan Shinwari at Landi Kotal in Khyber Agency.
The people had gathered at his residence for a jirga or tribal council, officials said.

An attempt by Nirupama Subramanian to appear "even-handed" - i.e. criticise the reality in Pakistan's education system, but since she cannot realistically say the same about India, bring in what she thinks would suffice - to confirm the Pakistani view that communal peace in India depends on Pakistanj and that Indians are in general over-reaching in their clearly misguided attempt to move in the general direction of great-power status... In short, pandering to the Salman Taseer types (why you Indians are trying to go to space only? Try to produce a sewing needle first, sort of thing). And this woman, who should know better, does not have the courage to call a spade a spade without also calling the neighbour (her own country) a shovel.SSridhar wrote:Pakistan & India should aim for normalcy, not friendship

Our leader gave us weapons that night and came with us
We all went out in a few cars we'd hijacked
We didn't have Kalashnikovs but the latest weapons then were Sten guns
We went out in two cars to find some Pakhtuns, of course innocent Pakhtuns
These Pakhtuns are hard workers, they came to Karachi as laborers and sleep under the sky, they don't have homes
So it's easy to find them sleeping on the roads and in the parks... We were just 14 boys altogether in four cars... We killed as many as we could find (Pages 3 and 4)

US Ups Extremist Fight in Pakistan
US Ups Extremist Fight in Pakistan
Sultan Mehmood Gujar was a solid supporter of Islamist militants fighting in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India and even donated money to them, until he attended an innovative 40-day lecture series by a moderate cleric aimed at countering violent extremism.
The course, given to the public at an Islamic school in a hotbed of militancy in Pakistan, had a profound effect on the 46-year-old property dealer, convincing him the militants were wrong to claim they were waging holy war, or jihad, justified by the Quran, the religion's holy book.
"I was shocked to discover that what the militants were doing was against Islam," said Gujar, sitting on the floor at the madrasa in Okara city where the lectures were delivered. "Now I call them terrorists, not jihadis."
Fazal ur Rehman, the cleric who runs the 400-student madrasa, recorded each of the 2-hour lectures he and others gave this past summer and would like to distribute the DVDs to reach a wider audience. But he lacks the money.
The U.S. has created a new unit in Pakistan that aims to leverage such grassroots efforts by working with local moderates to counter violent extremism — the first of its kind set up by an American embassy anywhere in the world, according to U.S. officials here. The existence of the unit has never before been reported.
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 06 Dec 201
A piece of rubbish from Nirupama whatever, nothing balanced about it. The issue is TSP obsession to dominate India. They are not interested in being a normal neighbor because then they are then finished. As an analogy consider taking a tough exam, the guy who knows he is going to flunk is not interested in taking the exam, his best bet lies in disrupting the exam itself. That way, everybody suffers.
Nirupama, like many in DDM are either swayed by personal relations they have with TSP RAPE, or as is I suspect, exhibits the qualities of a mental midget and coward so endemic among Indian Hindu elites that they run sacred of pointing the truth about TSP for fear of being told what a mess India is in, the perverted view of Hinduism, the western racist India TSP equal equal worldview etc. The hallmark of a good journalist, with Indian interests in mind, would have the courage and wherewithal to defend India against the perfidy of TSP no matter what India's other ills may be.
As for TSP believing they can play the Indian Muslim trump card, I have mixed feelings. Certainly many elements of India's Bollywood are no different from TSP RAPE. In US, I have witnessed first hand the activities of the Indian Muslim council. They supposedly are working for a true secular India. But if you see their news letter, their events, etc, they froth in their mouths talking about anything to do with India. And in their formulations of any issue, you are left wondering if ISI could do any better. For e.g., in the spirit of "secularism", they called for an impartial inquiry into 26/11 to probe the role of RSS.
In general, unlike Gujarat in 2001, if Indian govt reacts swiftly with a sense of moral clarity to a communal provocation like Godhra, and makes sure there is no free for all retaliatory vigilanti justice like the horrors of 2001, TSP game-plan of setting off a communal cauldron can be thwarted. In general given the level of mistrust between Hindus and Muslims, a tiny spark can set off tit for tat killings, and TSP can exploit that vulnerability. But if Indian govt acts swiftly, puts the blame where it belongs instead of bringing in this bogus "saffron terror" angle, it can prevent the mistrust and testy relationship between Hindus and Muslims from boiling over.

I have some empathy for Nirupama Subramaniam. We Indians homo indicus are basically good-hearted, decent people and don't want to be nasty and one-sided, even when it is the correct thing to be. Also, we want to improve ourselves morally and otherwise. In case of Nirupama Subramaniam she probably doesn't want to burn professional and personal bridges she built when in TSP. My own journey to outright and total enmity with TSP (it was gradual but ultimatlely it took 26/11 to tip the scale) stands as testimony for me.pankajs wrote:No wonder it is because of people like her that paki's still think they represent the Indian Muslims and that they have every right to meddle in our internal affairs.

Sir ji, now that you mention, I recall that fateful day of summer of 1988. But more interestingly the tu-tu-mai-mai between Gilani/Kiyani reminds me of Junejo/Zia during those days. Initially Junejo was thought to be a weekling appointed by Zia and who later turned against leading upto the summer 1988 and then the mango-crates.

Dialogue among civilisations —Ishtiaq Ahmed
( Khotte Sikke and Khote Kutte)
Dialogue among civilisations —Ishtiaq Ahmed
( Khotte Sikke and Khote Kutte)
The inclusion of Shah Waliullah (1703-1762) among the proponents of dialogue is interesting. Waliullah wanted good government and economic justice and was critical of the tradition-bound ulema who were opposed to change. Waliullah, however, was not seeking dialogue with Hindus but among Muslims to carry out reforms. Maulana Altaf Hussain Hali (1837-1914) was a populariser of past Muslim glory and condemned fanaticism and obscurantism. Sir Syed (1817-1898) pleaded for dialogue with Christian civilisation and a rapprochement between Indian Muslims and the British. A very interesting inclusion is Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi (1872-1944), whom the editor describes as a revolutionary Islamic scholar. Born into a Sikh family, Ubaidullah converted to Islam and became a close affiliate of the Deoband anti-imperialist scholar Maulana Mahmud Hassan. He settled in Sukkur, Sindh, where he established a seminary. On Mahmud Hassan’s advice in 1915, he moved to Afghanistan and formed the Provisional Government of India and started the ‘Silken Letters’ movement that aimed at the overthrow of British rule. Sindhi remained a steadfast believer in the need for Muslims and Hindus to cooperate to liberate India.With regard to Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the editor includes Jinnah’s March 1940 presidential address at Lahore. This is a bit surprising, because although there are many of his speeches from the pre-1930 period that represent the spirit of dialogue, his 1940 speech epitomises the opposite: the relentless campaign he embarked upon to emphasise differences, nay irreconcilability, between Hindus and Muslims. However, the inclusion of the August 11, 1947 speech, famously speaking of equal rights of all citizens irrespective of their religion, sect and caste, balances that and we learn that in his heart of heart Jinnah was in favour of what is recognised by all educated people as a secular state, though not by the Pakistani establishment, which is not shy in pointing out that Jinnah did not use the word or term secularism in the speech; hence, it is asserted, he was speaking of an ideal Islamic state — whatever that means.
Nobel Laureate Dr Abdus Salam (an Ahmedi) is cited passionately arguing about the harmony between science and Islam and for the revival of science among Muslims while Justice A R Cornelius (a Roman Catholic) argues in favour of Islamic law as opposed to secular democracy. The irony involved in such argumentation need not be overemphasised.

Pakistani death squads go after informants to U.S. drone program
The militant group known as Khorasan Mujahedin terrorizes villages near the Afghan border. Tribal elders say most of those killed are innocent.
By Alex Rodriguez, Los Angeles Times
December 28, 2011, 12:10 p.m.
Reporting from Peshawar, Pakistan—
