INDIA - King Hezekiah of Judah would know exactly what India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, is up to. Some 2,700 years ago, Hezekiah’s people were at war with the Assyrians. So he issued an order. The fountains were to be stopped. The brooks were to be dammed. Nothing was to flow beyond the land they held. He asked: “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?” [II Chronicles 32:3-4.] Why indeed.
Shehbaz Sharif, the Pakistani prime minister, might cite a different historical parallel when faced this week with Indian threats to cut off his country’s access to the Indus river, and Modi’s pledge that “India’s water will flow for India’s benefit, it will be conserved for India’s benefit, and it will be used for India’s progress”.
Humans have been fighting over water for as long as there have been humans. Now, with the suspension of the Indus River Treaty — the agreement that for 65 years, through wars and skirmishes, has ensured the sharing of the river that flows first in India then into Pakistan — they are fighting again.
