Kashmir Valley Drying Up

The Kashmir Valley is in danger of drying up. Aww, how sorry I feel for them -- NOT. Apparently, the Kolahoi glacier that supplies the Valley of Kashmir with drinking water is rapidly disappearing, due to global warming. Hell, if I'd known about the fundamental importance of this glacier before, I'd have suggested dropping a dirty bomb there. Let's see how long people can shriek at us with parched throats. The outflow from the glacier also ultimately feeds the Jhelum river in Pakistan. So they'll get hit too.

The Economist seems to be alarmed, saying that it would intensify conflict in Kashmir. Nah, I think it's the opposite. A little dehydration should help to pacify these rabid maniacs quite nicely, and give them pause for thought.

Is poor Pakistan not getting all the water from us that it wants? Well, don't blame us, blame global warming. Revenge is a dish best served dry.

call me a cynic but this will be used by the muftis, geelanis et al to further the loot of india by kashmir.

they may ask to divert the ganga, citing the need to preserve kashmiriya, the composite culture of kashmir and sundry other shibboleths that typically send our ELM into raptures. 'Peaceful' demonstrations that result in the raping of pandit women, murder of innocents will then happen. Rajdeep will then thunder how kashmiri sentiments need to be 'healed'

Depending upon who is in power, the center will respond and divert the ganga.

The indian goverment is supremely capale at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
