- China's glimpse of the world's highest river

New delhi date. Monday, February 8, 2021

China, which has been keeping an eye on Indian land areas from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, is now going to build the world's largest dam to occupy Indian water resources. From Tibet to India, Yarlung Tsangpo, which is considered very sacred, China is planning to build a 60 gigawatt dam on the Brahmaputra river. This closure is being made in the ancient area of ​​the Tibet Autonomous Region where the first kingdom of Tibet was developed. China's goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 and for this it is putting maximum emphasis on hydropower projects in Tibet. However, Tibetans and Tibetan environmentalists are vehemently opposing the ban.

The Brahmaputra River is the lifeline of the northeastern states of India and Bangladesh

The Brahmaputra River, which originates in the Tibet Autonomous Region, enters the country through the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. In Arunachal Pradesh, this river is called Siang. The river then reaches Assam where it is called Brahmaputra. The Brahmaputra River enters Bangladesh from Assam. The Brahmaputra is considered the lifeline of the northeastern states of India and Bangladesh and the livelihoods of millions depend on it.

The Brahmaputra is considered a goddess by the Tibetans

According to Tenzin Dolme, who left Tibet after the Chinese oppression and lived in Australia, respect for rivers is in the blood of Tibetans. According to him, they are taught not to use it as a bathroom while swimming in rivers as the water is inhabited by goddesses. But China is also doing things that are considered taboo for its own development, which is frustrating, and Tibet has not been consulted on the matter.

China wants to generate electricity by building a dam on the world's highest river, but this could lead to water shortages in India-Bangladesh. Also, the dam is only 30 km away from Indian soil and China is expected to use it as a political tool.
