CutTheClutter: Leverage & strategic play as India pauses Indus Waters Treaty after Pahalgam, & Pakistan's 'loss'

India has temporarily paused the Indus Waters Treaty—the water-sharing agreement with Pakistan. The decision came in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed the lives of 25 tourists and one Kashmiri local. This move could give India the space to expedite key infrastructure projects on its side of the border and rivers that flow here. While the treaty mandates certain obligations, India has also been pushing for amendment to its dispute resolution mechanism. In Episode 1646 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta and Deputy Editor Moushumi Das Gupta discuss the implications of this pause, and the potential leverage it offers India.

OPINION POD: Trump only offers chaos, not clarity. A 90-day tariff pause won’t fix strategic stupidity

'In her four-minute address, Meloni unleashed her charm offensive on Trump—delivering a mix of what he wanted to hear (anti-immigration remarks, promises of more Italian investments in the US) and what he didn’t (a call to make the West, not just America, great again—implying a revival of Transatlanticism). She also delivered remarkable clarity on the need to defend Ukraine for a just and lasting peace. Whatever followed in the Q&A was inconsequential. She had done her job well', says ThePrint Consulting Editor Swasti Rao in her latest column.
