water security is going to be one of our biggest headaches, esp. at a time of global warming and the disappearance of the glaciers, not to mention short-term issues like this year's presumed el nino.

Rajeev,

this Rudd 'bloke' is the new Nehru. just as we had our King Uncle proclaiming Panchsheel and saying that china had to be in the security council before India -only to be socked in the face, so it is with Rudd.

I am so delighting in this idiot's predicament. could not happen to a more deserving guy.

of course - this is also the fate of manmohan when the hans attack. unlike in 62 when the kennedy administration made a pretence to help; the yankees will stand aside and feign helplessness. someone has to keep buying those treasuries. what a relationship this Han-Yankee. even if it is a pimp - he is all the hooker has!

It has been mentioned in several scriptures that drying up of Ganga et al will be one of the symptoms of Kali Yuga.
