We left off discussing how a lawyer named Cyril Radcliffe drew borders in five weeks, cutting through villages and rivers with little regard for geography. But the physical map was only half the story; the hydrological one was far more volatile. In this episode, we look at the crisis that followed immediately after independence: the damming of rivers that had flowed freely for millennia. When East Punjab blocked the headworks of the Upper Bari Doab Canal, West Punjab faced drought and panic. We explore the tense negotiations between India and Pakistan, featuring figures like V.P. Menon and Ayub Khan, and how they avoided war over water. This is the untold history of the Indus Basin, where diplomacy saved millions from thirst before the famous 1960 treaty even existed. #IndusWatersTreaty #PartitionOfIndia #CyrilRadcliffe #UpperBariDoabCanal #VPMenon #AyubKhan #Ferozepur #Lahore #WaterCrisis1947 #PunjabBoundaryForce #NehruGandhi #Jinnah #SouthAsianHistory #HydroDiplomacy #EastPunjab #WestPunjab #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
