Pakistan's Indus waters response shows strain from India's strategic shift

Original: Pakistan's reaction on Indus water reflects pressure created by India's strategic shift

India's shift in approach to the Indus Waters Treaty is being seen as putting real pressure on Pakistan, whose reaction to the dispute over river water sharing reflects that strain. Commentators argue that New Delhi's harder line on the treaty, which governs six rivers vital to Pakistani agriculture, has forced Islamabad into a defensive posture on a matter it treats as an existential concern.

Why now: Water sharing between the two rivals is a live geopolitical flashpoint and any change in India's stance triggers immediate reaction.
