How was the paper guys ?
People referring to IWT read this.
1.Preamble to the IWT is not having any absolute terms. It mentions the possibility of challenging the terms of the treaty with respect to application of any provisions
2.Article 1(2) Defines what a tributary is and Article 1(3)(i) states categorically that the five rivers doesn't come under the scop of the term tributaries as given in Article 1(2) . Reading these two together can make the question itself absurd if we take this as a source.
3.It is written that Chenab SHALL be deemed to include panjnad. This apart from the geographical aspects of the confluence of the two rivers read with the Political boundaries has nothing to do with the hydrology. Also, SHALL is equivalent to MAY when it comes to interpretation of a statute.
4.Hydroelectric projects in Chenab tributaries are carried out by India and they are opposed by Pakistan. We are supposed to hold the ground which is favourable to India and Not Pakistan which enjoys the luxury of having the hydrological confluence of the rivers in her territory.
5.The answer is Sutlej. Take A SS and wait till the answer key next year
Its painful how low you have stooped in order to defend your false fantasies.
point 1 - its not preamble its DEFINITION UNDER ARTICLE 1 of iwt, chashma kaha rakha he lagao
point 2 that makes no case for sutlej neither discredits chenab
point 3 SHALL means MAY according to you lol rofl and what not. so this is article 1 of indian constitution —(1) India, that is Bharat, SHALL be a Union of States , so you mean shall means may lmao height of stupidity
point 4 so what , it doesnt make sense
point 5 - I gave you a credible source. Indus water treaty was in news in 2021. What is your credible source you never mentioned. AAP kaise keh sakte ho sutluj. NCERT class 11 book also says chenab is the longest tributary Also Khuller sir ne kaha se uthaya sutlej, koi to source hoga, kaha he wo source.
chenab is deemed to include panjnad ab isse bada kya source chahiye bhai. Smell some coffee.
@rawhull So mr subject expert..in your delusional eyes there was a specific mention of "in the context of Indus water treaty" in the question right!!Also ever heard of dunning kruger effect ? please google and look at yourself..seems you are a patent manifesation of such a phenomenon
Ye kruger vruger bolkar jyada smart mat bano , im not smart i just happen to research well . i dont blindly believe people and rather believe only credible sources. Under article 51(c) of indian constitution you should also respect the iwt.
@rawhull From your assumptions i can glean a few things..only mr subject expert(whatever your name is) has access to and knowledge about a 60 year old water sharing agreement but not the editors or publishers of a relatively popular geography text book..Neither do the editors at Britannica have any idea of such an agreement and that panjnad is indeed chenab(according to your wild assumptions)
look britannica has nowhere said that sutlej includes panjnad or joins indus direct. Also how can you believe any popular text book blindly . They must be having a source right. Kaha he ssource, unhe kaha se pata chala ki sutlej ye karnama karti he. Mera source of Indus water treaty he, tumhari textbook ka source kya he. Ese hi kuch bhi book me likh denge maan loge? Ncert class 8 me kaha he first factory of east india company was built at kalkatta "The first English factory was set up on the banks of the river Hugli in 1651." maan loge? science and rationality proceeds by falsification and not by blind adherence.
I say it again present a credible source, and if not go read it
Indus Waters Treaty (mea.gov.in)
What if upsc gives both Chenab and Sutlej as correct as it has given two answers to be correct in csat this year?
PS: I don't know why I keep reading this thread silently.😆
wont happen bro, such errors have consistently happened in state pcs exams like mppsc pre in recent years, but upsc wont make such errors
Brother/Sister/GenderFree Person,
Preamble signifies the philosophy of a treaty. Read it again and assess if it is a reliable source in this question first. That's what mentioned in the first point. Next comes the Tributary definition. Next comes the SHALL dilemma which I repeat is nothing but MAY for the purpose of this document (which was signed at Karachi). World Bank has nothing to do with the status of these rivers and India has openly stated it's opposition to the IWC.
Please don't tag me again.
Some of u guys too might be facing the uncertainty about the results... can some1 pls mention how to cope up and study... im on the border lines for the first time(paper 2) . I just let the keys made me believe the worst things.
TIA
.
@Salwal so what's the answer? Is it Chenab?
as per the latest source, it seems like its Jhelum, surprising.
