00:00which means such a huge dam that China has proposed to be built on the Yangtze River

00:07that we call in Tibet, and which is called Brahmaputra as it enters India, India would

00:12surely have serious implication where it could induce seismic activity, and that could cause

00:21huge risk to the Indian community in northeast regions, such as Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,

00:28and other regions, and such earthquake has happened many times in past history. One specific

00:35issue was, if I'm not wrong, happened in 1954, the very tragic Assam earthquake. So

00:44there could be other such earthquake happening because of such mega dams.

00:49And then third, and something that would be more political or strategic implication for

00:55India is that China might use the dam for various reasons. If China has a good relation

01:04with India, it might use it as a good, the management of the river flow might be used

01:11amicably as for the relation at that point in time. But if the relation between these

01:17two major powers can fluctuate for sure, so if the relation between India and China deteriorates

01:24or at some point becomes unfavorable to each other, the Chinese government could easily

01:31use the dam strategically. Either ways, if there's a war between India and China, they

01:37could suddenly release water from the dam and cause floods in the region, or they can

01:42just throw up the water to cause drought in the region. So these are the issues that I'm

01:48sure Indian government understands, clearly understands, and they have also put up a statement,

01:53the Indian government has put up a statement. But the government of India and the strategic

01:58thinkers of India need to take it very seriously, as we as Tibetans, as we live here in India,

02:05and India is our second home, and we are very grateful to India. So we also fear that such

02:11a dam would have serious implications for India. That's something that we do not want

02:16to see, and it's something that we have raised in an article that I wrote back in 2020 that

02:22you can read. It was published by Tribune in printing, both printing and online, and

02:27in which I have stated that the accelerated effort by the Chinese government to have infrastructure

02:37built up in the region is nothing but a greater strategic plan that China has in the region,

02:44because much of the southern regions of Tibet has very scarce population, and the Chinese

02:52after development of excessive infrastructure in the region, China could easily bring Chinese

02:59population in the region that would support any of the Chinese government's policy of

03:06populating the region, particularly the Indo-Tibet border regions. So this is something that

03:12we should be very, very careful about, and we should need to do careful studies.

03:18Some people believe that China is constructing a water bomb.

03:22Yeah, exactly. That's what I said. The dam itself is basically a water dam. During the

03:27First and Second World War, there has been cases where the elite power, they bombed dams

03:33to cause destruction in the country that they intend to cause destruction. So China can

03:41use the dam, as I stated earlier, either way. Sometimes they can say, okay, we have good

03:48relations with India, so we are providing hydrological data. When there's the relation

03:53source, they could just do anything, because the dam is under their territory control,

04:00as Tibet is currently occupied by China. So they have the authority. The only thing we

04:05here in India can do is to monitor through the satellite images, but that may not be

04:09comprehensive. So we need to have ground data of the dam and the water flow. We lack that.

04:20So it's definitely a water bomb for sure, and we should not overlook it. Sometimes we

04:26have this tendency in India that, okay, the river flow from the Brahmaputra is not as

04:32big as it is being made to be, but ultimately the river itself is coming from there. So

04:38if their source is blocked, what's the point of other rain-fed waters? Basically there's

04:46no area where it can be accumulated if the primary source of the river is not there.
