I hope your stay will be fruitful, pleasant and comfortable. Excellency, in the earlier round of the Review talks held in Dacca last November, it was agreed that each side would submit reports on Parts A and B of the 1977 Agreement. The two sides accordingly furnished to each other these reports on the 19th December, 1980. Apart from considering these reports, in our present round of talks, we have to decide the dates for the third and final round of Ministerial discussions. AS the Indian delegation repeatedly emphasised in the last round of talks, it is incumbent on us to bring the review to a conclusion as early as possible. In our Review Report, we have taken great care to be strictly objective and have attempted to furnish all the relevant data to enable a proper assessment to be made by the two Governments on the working, impact, implementation and progress of the arrangements contained in the Agreement. We have demonstrated how Indian interests have grievously suffered by the operation of Part A of the Agreement while adverse effects in Bangladesh have at worst been marginal. We have also demonstrated the factors responsible for the failure to implement the provisions of Part B of the Agreement. Permit me, Your Excellency, to deal briefly with the approach reflected in Part A of the Bangladesh Report. BANGLADESH REPORT The Bangladesh Report on Part A dwells at some length on the so- called historical rights of Bangladesh to the Ganga waters and an assertion of the right to so called natural flows. In fact, continuance of historical flow amounts to a total denial of beneficial development and the principle of equitable sharing of waters for beneficial uses enshrined in international practice. Assertion of a right to so-called natural flows amounts to claiming a veto on the rights of the upper riparian to a reasonable and equitable share of the waters of e common rivers. Its acceptance would obstruct the rights of other riparians to implement development plans designed to u e the water resources of the basin, thus perpetuating economic stagnation, accentuating human suffering and impeding progress to which, I am afraid, India cannot agree. India, in any view, is by far the major riparian country for the Ganga waters; in terms of catchment area - 99 per cent, population - 94 per cent, and area dependent on waters - 94.5 per cent. India is thus entitled to an equitable and proponderant share of the Ganga waters taking into account relevant factors such as the geography and hydrology of the basin, economic needs, population, availability of other resources, avoidance of waste, past use, current needs and the comparative cost of alternative means and other factors. There can be absolutely no obligation to leave intact the existing quantum of flows. INDIA'S CASE For 90 per cent of its length -1,925 km - the main channel of the Ganga <pg-1> flows through India, with its principal tributaries it flows through 8,000 kin of Indian territory with a catchment area in India of 777,000 sq km. The geographical area in India dependent on the Ganga is 211 million acres (84 million ha) with a population of over 250 million. In 1971 more than 40 per cent of the country's total population and cultivable area of 1.50 million acres in the basin and large areas elsewhere were dependent on the Ganga waters. Com pared with this, the length in Bangladesh is a mere 141 kin (excluding the common boundary of 112 km.) The total length of the Ganga and tributaries in Bangladesh is hardly 173 km, the area in Bangladesh is hardly 0.7 per cent of that in India. The area is blessed with heavy rainfall avid has the possibility of being served by the Brahmaputra and the Meghna. The relative rights and needs of India and Bangladesh on the Ganga waters could well be imagined by any objective and well accepted criteria In fact, the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna is one large international drainage basin of which Ganga is just one part. Instead of perpetuating shortages of the Ganga flows, our attempt has been to optimise the development of the flow in the Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna as available to India. and Bangladesh for meeting the needs of both countries. It was in this context, that the Agreement af 1977 was entered into by India in a spirit of goodwill and cooperation at great sacrifices of her legitimate interests and rights and in the expectation that it would be possible to evolve with the cooperation of Bangladesh a scheme for the cooperative development of the abundant water resources in the region available to the two countries to meet the requirements of both countries in full measure. We are disappointed at the sweeping assertions made in the Bangladesh document without any supporting data. For example, it has been alleged that salinity in the Khulna, area in Bangladesh had a direct relationship to the flows at Hardinge Bridge. It has been stated that Gorai flows had been affected causing problems, without indicating the basis on which an assessment has been made. It is said that agricultural production has gone down without analysis of the causes, the trend of these activities in the rest of Bangladesh and the importance of various other relevant factors etc. The data available to us clearly demonstrates that the salinity in the south-west region, in and around Khulna, is affected by local runoff and monsoon rainfall and is independent of the discharges flowing in the Ganga. Even otherwise, it is well known that waters with electrical conductivity of 5,000 microhms or more are being used in various parts of the world for irrigation particularly paddy, with or without suitable agronomic practices. There is massive evidence based on officially published data in Bangladesh that the performance in the agricultural, fisheries and other sectors in the areas in Bangladesh claimed to be dependent upon Padma waters since the operation of the Farina barrage has been in line with the trend of these sectors in the rest of Bangladesh and has been even better in certain respects. It flows from it that the monetary values assigned by Bangladesh of the losses suffered in these sectors due to the withdrawals of water by India at Farina are without any factual basis and hence misleading. It is quite clear that no adverse effects were in fact caused at all in Bangladesh as a result of the withdrawals at Farina. It is our considered opinion that no useful purpose would be served by entering into such extravagant claims and extraordinary charges in the report, totally unsupported by data, that the withdrawals at Farina have given rise to increased incidence of hypertension, have resulted in change in rainfall pattern, temperature change and wind movement and have led to the monsoon behaving in an erratic fashion. PRESERVATION OF CALCUTTA PORT We are also disappointed to note that the Bangladesh document by innuendo casts doubts on the very purpose of the Farina, Barrage project. I should draw the attention of your Excellency to the comprehensive data supplied to the Bangladesh side ever since 1960 including clarifications. Whatever additional information they had needed at every stage was also furnished. Your Excellency would recall that in 1974 <pg-2> the results of the latest studies made were also furnished to Bangladesh side.

  • Appendix I Nelson Mandela on Nehru
    0l F7 Much has already been written on Jawaharlal Nehru, the charismatic leader and builder of modem India. Naturally, in his birth centenary year there should be such a deep interest in studying and analysing the various facets of Nehru's life, work and seminal thought. This is, however, a specialised study on Nehru's vision of Africa, an exploited part of the world that was so close to the heart of this humanist and champion of freedom and peace. It reveals how even as a young man, the tragic period of slavery and brutal sup pression in Africa moved him so intensely that he started telling the international community of its "special responsibility" towards the peoples of Africa. After India's independence, his contribu tion to the process of decolonisation, especially in regard to Kenya, Algeria and Portuguese territories makes a fascinating reading. His voice on the problems of hapless Congo and the tripartite aggression on Egypt after the nationalisation of the Suez Canal was loud and clear. It was a voice of sanity and morality. His words had the breadth of his vision. Nehru had no doubt in his mind that the obnoxious policy of apartheid was an affront to human dignity. His advice to Indian settlers in Africa that they should identify themselves with the urges and aspirations of the in digenous population is considered unique, though controversial. Nehru viewed that the independence of African countries could only be safeguarded through economic strength. He passionately advocated Indo-African economic and techni cal cooperation which has today become a model of South-South cooperation.

    DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL POLITICS IN INDIA: A STUDY OF COALITION OF POLITICAL PARTIB IN UHAR PRADESH ABSTRACT THB8IS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of ^IHloKoplip IN POLITICAL SaENCE BY TABRBZ AbAM Un<l«r tht SupMvMon of PBOP. N. SUBSAHNANYAN DEPARTMENT Of POLITICAL SCIENCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALI6ARH (INDIA) The thesis "Development of Regional Politics in India : A Study of Coalition of Political Parties in Uttar Pradesh" is an attempt to analyse the multifarious dimensions, actions and interactions of the politics of regionalism in India and the coalition politics in Uttar Pradesh. The study in general tries to comprehend regional awareness and consciousness in its content and form in the Indian sub-continent, with a special study of coalition politics in UP., which of late has presented a picture of chaos, conflict and crise-cross, syndrome of democracy. Regionalism is a manifestation of socio-economic and cultural forces in a large setup. It is a psychic phenomenon where a particular part faces a psyche of relative deprivation. It also involves a quest for identity projecting one's own language, religion and culture. In the economic context, it is a search for an intermediate control system between the centre and the peripheries for gains in the national arena. The study begins with the analysis of conceptual aspect of regionalism in India. It also traces its historical roots and examine the role played by Indian National Congress. The phenomenon of regionalism is a pre-independence problem which has got many manifestation after independence. It is also asserted that regionalism is a complex amalgam of geo-cultural, economic, historical and psychic factors.

  • India's Nuclear Odyssey
    India’s Nuclear Odyssey India’s Nuclear Andrew B. Kennedy Odyssey Implicit Umbrellas, Diplomatic Disappointments, and the Bomb India’s search for secu- rity in the nuclear age is a complex story, rivaling Odysseus’s fabled journey in its myriad misadventures and breakthroughs. Little wonder, then, that it has received so much scholarly attention. In the 1970s and 1980s, scholars focused on the development of India’s nuclear “option” and asked whether New Delhi would ever seek to exercise it.1 After 1990, attention turned to India’s emerg- ing, but still hidden, nuclear arsenal.2 Since 1998, India’s decision to become an overt nuclear power has ushered in a new wave of scholarship on India’s nu- clear history and its dramatic breakthrough.3 In addition, scholars now ask whether India’s and Pakistan’s acquisition of nuclear weapons has stabilized or destabilized South Asia.4 Despite all the attention, it remains difªcult to explain why India merely Andrew B. Kennedy is Lecturer in Policy and Governance at the Crawford School of Economics and Gov- ernment at the Australian National University.
