Has India ‘weaponized water’ to deliberately flood Panjab? However, evidence and credible voices point to systemic neglect, discriminatory policies, and politically motivated decisions by the Indian central government as the root causes of the crisis, especially in Indian Panjab. Within India, Panjab itself has been devastated. Their inability to handle excess rainfall results in emergency discharges that flood low-lying regions—first in Indian Panjab, then Pakistan. In fact the Sikh diaspora, has and continues to contribute with funds, while the real flood Panjab faces is one of perpetual injustice, exploitation, and governmental apathy.
