An account of the water battles between India and Pakistan by Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohd Ali Jinnah
Both leaders chastised Cyril Radcliffe for proposing to operate the Indus river-canal system as a joint Indo-Pak enterprise. His final effort to resolve the ongoing conflict that keeps coming up was that.Muhammad Ali Jinnah scolded Cyril Radcliffe a few weeks prior to his drawing the famous Line that separated India and Pakistan in August 1947. The Boundary Commission chairman was informed by Pakistan's founder that he preferred "deserts to fertile fields watered by courtesy of Hindus." Jawaharlal Nehru would then give a dressing-down as part of the "joint Hindu-Muslim rebuke."It was not Radcliffe's fault. His largest task in dividing the land was to assign control of the irrigation system, which was "built, with a good deal of British inspiration, largely by Sikh money, design, and sweat" to channel river waters through a system of intricate canals to the arid west, "turning the province into the granary of India" in order to combat the oppressive heat caused by a delayed monsoon in the soon-to-be divided Punjab. The majority of the land they irrigated was in the west, which would eventually become Pakistan, but the five rivers that provided the water were all in the east and would always fall under India. Radcliffe proposed to Jinnah and Nehru, via the Viceroy, that they administer this river-canal system as an Indo-Pakistan joint enterprise after realizing that Partition "vitally threatened" the vast watering network.

According to a top BJP leader, "he expressed that he has no regrets about his dedication to the party and is even willing to work as a mere cadre." "Annamalai remains a key figure in the party's long-term strategy for Tamil Nadu, whether or not he leaves his position as state president," stated another politician.

"Kharge added that Ahmedabad's hosting of the first AICC session in the state since 1961 and an extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting at Sardar Patel Smarak in Shahibaug on the banks of the Sabarmati river on April 8–9 "proved" his party's "active and combative" organization in Gujarat, where it has been out of power for roughly 30 years.Despite being pumped up, Congress leaders expressed doubts about the cadres' ability to stay motivated until the elections, especially party veterans and young leaders.In a sudden move, the party leadership on Saturday designated one AICC observer and four Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) observers for each of the 41 DCCs. The DCCs will convene in Modasa, Aravalli district, on Monday to supervise the appointment of DCC presidents.

Weeks of talks between AIADMK and BJP leaders preceded Palaniswami's visit. The Tamil Nadu party was hesitant to re-affiliate with the BJP, a North-centric party that the AIADMK's primary adversary, the DMK, has been portraying as a sign of a dominant Center. Today, March 25, Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), the general secretary of the AIADMK, is in the nation's capital, igniting rumors that the party may rejoin the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which is led by the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Since September 2023, when the two parties split apart for a variety of reasons, chief among them being the departure of K Annamalai, the president of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, EPS has been opposing the partnership.

Analysis: China's past reverberates in Trump and Musk's America
A dramatic attempt to eliminate government bureaucracy is being spearheaded by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally, Elon Musk. Wang Xiangwei, a former editor-in-chief of the SCMP, claims that China is currently dealing with its own bureaucratic inefficiencies.HONG KONG: A "Cultural Revolution" like to that of the United States is underway. Many scholars of contemporary Chinese history, including this author, find it impossible to avoid drawing comparisons between the Cultural Revolution in China from 1966 to 1976 and the current assault against federal bureaucracy led by US President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk. One of the major reasons Mao Zedong started the uprising over 59 years ago was his concern that China was becoming into an aristocratic nation that didn't care about the interests and welfare of the people.He organized the Red Guards, who were primarily high school and college students, to launch attacks on government offices across the nation. Mao famously predicted that "great chaos under heaven" would give way to "great order" as China plunged into turmoil and paralysis.

Delhi 2025 Election: Will Delhi Be Reclaimed by the BJP? Is it too soon to celebrate the largest shift in decades, according to exit polls?
Following a 27-year drought in the capital, exit polls for the 2025 Delhi assembly elections suggest that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) may make a comeback. The BJP is predicted to take the majority of seats in the 70-member Delhi Assembly after Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ruled for ten years. It may even win more than 40 seats. Congress is predicted to stay mostly in power, while the AAP, which is running for a third consecutive term, fears a serious setback.Based on surveys by multiple agencies, the exit polls have consistently shown the BJP to be winning. The AAP is only expected to win 28 seats, while the BJP is expected to win 41 seats, according to NDTV's Poll of Exit Polls. Only one seat is anticipated to be won by the Congress, which is a little improvement from its zero seats in prior elections. With the BJP seeking to regain control of Delhi for the first time in twenty years, this represents a dramatic change.AAP Dismisses Forecasts for the Exit Poll The AAP is still hopeful in spite of the exit poll forecasts. Noting that comparable exit polls had understated its chances in past elections, the party has disputed the predictions. "This is our fourth election... every time exit polls did not show AAP (winning), but Arvind Kejriwal has worked for the people of Delhi," said AAP leader Sushil Gupta. We will establish the government and observe results that favor the AAP. The hope for the AAP is in.

Biduri is running against Congressmen Atishi and Alka Lamba in the Delhi Assembly elections from Kalkaji.Citing an instance in which a resident was stopped and held for two hours, Bidhuri said that Atishi and her staff intimidated BJP employees and imprisoned locals. Bidhuri has lodged a police complaint about Atishi's actions."Atishi ji need to uphold the Constitution and the law. Her scandalous acts that promote false rumors are improper given her constitutional position as Chief Minister. What's wrong with me taking my wife and son to campaign with me if I'm running for office? In the last five years, the AAP has done little, particularly in Kalkaji. I learned that the Chief Minister is driving around Delhi with thirty or forty persons in cars with UP license plates, interacting with everyone.
