Thinking about a majestic river like the Indus River in South Asia attracts more perspective and situation room strategies than a possible benefit-sharing solution. From countless war strategies to suing each other in legal battles, from instigating to investigation, from hydro-phobia to hydro-politics, from misinformation to deliberately uninformed, India and Pakistan have been engaged in myriad exchanges and wasting time and opportunity. The exception could have been only during the ancient Indus Civilisation when settlements on both sides of the river respected the Indus as one.
