It is amazing actually that anyone should actually accuse us of having such thoughts.
Yet, there are genuine questions about whether we signed a fair treaty, what did we gain (except constant accusations of thievery!) and whether this is sustainable.
If Pakistan continues to try and prevent us from even utilizing the provisions of the treaty like dams that are run of the river etc., India may need to make a decision to abrogate the treaty. It will neither be the first, nor the last instance of a side quitting a treaty that it feels was not fair to it.
Pakistan needs to realize that the treaty was overly generous to it, with no parallel in the world. They should not take it for granted forever.
We should absolutely have a fair water division with our neighbors. We can't fulfill every irrational expectation that the neighbors may have of us.
I think we are running ahead of ourselves.
