PM Modi In Poland: Post Poland, PM Modi to head to Ukraine

<p>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said no conflict could be resolved on a battlefield as he spoke in Poland on the eve of his historic visit to war-torn Ukraine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Modi will be the first Indian premier to make a Ukraine trip and is the first in 45 years to visit Poland, Kyiv's loyal ally that is a key transit for foreign leaders heading to its war-torn neighbour.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian government has avoided explicit condemnations of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, instead urging both sides to resolve their differences through dialogue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It is India's strong belief that no problem can be resolved on a battlefield," Modi said in Warsaw, adding his country supports "dialogue and diplomacy for restoration of peace and stability as soon as possible".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk welcomed Modi and his delegation at the seat of government, with flags of both countries hoisted outside the building and their anthems played by the military band.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"History has taught our nations the importance of respecting the rules, respecting borders, territorial integrity," Tusk said as he spoke to reporters alongside the Indian leader.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tusk also added that Modi "reaffirmed his willingness to commit himself personally to a peaceful, just, quick end to the war".&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the talks, Modi will lay a wreath at a war memorial in central Warsaw before heading for talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Later on Thursday, the Indian leader is expected to leave the Polish capital to travel to neighbouring Ukraine for his first visit to the country fighting to stave off the Russian invasion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Modi has trodden a delicate balance between maintaining India's historically warm ties with Russia while courting closer security partnerships with Western nations as a bulwark against regional rival China.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As a friend and partner, we hope for an early return of peace and stability in the region," Modi said in a statement published Wednesday before his departure for Poland. In Kyiv, Modi will hold talks with President Volodymyr Zelensky and "share perspectives on peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict," the statement added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Drastic expansion</strong></h2>

<p>On Wednesday, Modi commemorated an Indian maharaja who sheltered Polish children during World War II, laying flowers at the marble lotus-crowned monument erected in Warsaw in honour of the maharaja.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a little-known story linking the two nations, the maharaja hosted Polish children in what is now Gujarat, Modi's home state where he was chief minister before launching his national political career.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Indian leader announced a youth exchange programme named after the maharaja, under which 20 Polish young people would be invited to India each year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We are finally starting to have the right level of political and diplomatic relations," Polish deputy foreign minister Wladyslaw Teofil Bartoszewski said about the visit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said Warsaw was counting on cooperation with India "in the agricultural sector, in the IT sector, in the security sector, in the new technology sector, especially green technology".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Modi on Wednesday delivered a speech in Hindi to the Indian community in Warsaw, promising "a drastic expansion of Indian economy in coming years".&nbsp;</p>

<p>He is expected to meet with Leszek Balcerowicz, a former Polish finance minister and free market pioneer who steered Poland's economic transition from communism to capitalism in the early 1990s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the Indian Embassy, Modi will also meet captains of kabaddi teams,&nbsp;a tag-meets-rugby contact team sport rooted in Indian mythology and said to date back 5,000 years.</p>

'No problem can be resolved on battlefield': PM Modi urges peace ahead of Ukraine visit

<p>A content creator who also works as a Zomato delivery person shared a video of his food delivery day and how much money he receives after working for 30 minutes. The video has become a topic of debate among netizens with some calling the food delivery company cruel for paying such a low wage to the delivery guy, while others said&nbsp;since the job requires no skills, the lower wage is justified.</p>

<p>The video starts with the man accepting an order. It then shows him going to the restaurant and picking up the food. Eventually, he goes to the customer to deliver the item and finally completes the order to earn ₹20 ($0.24). This one food delivery took him 30 minutes to complete.</p>

<p>The video was shared on August 3 and has garnered over 69,000 likes and several comments. While some were shocked to learn about the hard work of earning only ₹20, others were unsure of the video and believed that the food&nbsp;delivery company also paid some monthly salary to their delivery partners.</p>

A content creator who also works as a Zomato delivery person shared a video of his food delivery day and how much money he receives after working for 30 minutes. The video has become a topic of debate among netizens with some calling the food delivery company cruel for paying such a low wage to the delivery guy, while others said since the job requires no skills, the lower wage is justified. The video starts with the man accepting an order. It then shows him going to the restaurant and picking up the food. Eventually, he goes to the customer to deliver the item and finally completes the order to earn ₹20 ($0.24). This one food delivery took him 30 minutes to complete.

<p>China's proposed Great Bend Dam on the Brahmaputra River will expand the country's capacity to store and withhold or release water in India, a report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI)&nbsp;— 'The geopolitics of water: How the Brahmaputra River could shape India-China security competition'&nbsp;— has said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brahmaputra River's greatest point of hydropower potential is the Great Bend, a point on the Chinese side where the water takes a sharp turn, dropping 3,000 metres through a gorge before gushing into India's Arunachal Pradesh.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Given its scale and location, the proposed Great Bend would create four likely strategic effects, the report notes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It would very likely consolidate Beijing's political control over its distant borderlands; it may affect human settlement and economic settlement and economic patterns on the Indian side of the border, downstream; and it would give Beijing water and data that it could withhold from India as bargaining leverage in unrelated negotiations," it said.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>India-China water data-sharing arrangement</strong></h2>

<p>India and China signed their first water data-sharing agreement on Brahmaputra in 2002 for five years. The agreement, under which China periodically shared "hydrological information on Yaluzangbu/Brahmaputra River during flood season", was renewed in 2008, 2013, and 2018.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ASPI report noted that in 2017, and again in 2020, during the LAC clashes between the troops of two sides, Beijing temporarily stopped sharing water data with New Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Memorandum of Understanding expired in June 2023 and has not been renewed since.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an official Indian readout, while the MoU is "under process of renewal through diplomatic channels", the ASPI report points out that the primary issue is the fact that the document isn't legally binding.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>China's proposed Great Bend dam: What are its strategic implications?</strong></h2>

<p>From New Delhi's national security perspective, China's capacity to pursue strategic flooding in India's northeast also translates into a notable threat to Indian access to the Line of Actual Control.</p>

<p>"China's aggressive hydropower construction intrinsically has significant downstream ecological and demographic effects; in the Brahmaputra basin, too, the construction of another massive dam at the Great Bend would exacerbate those effects in lower riparian states, India and Bangladesh," the ASPI report said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the negotiation table, "water issues serve as another political lever for China to use in managing its relations with India."</p>

<h2><strong>Ways to deter China-led strategic flooding in India</strong></h2>

<p>According to the 1997 UN Convention on the Law of the Non-navigational Uses of International Watercourses, the upper riparian nation (which in this case is China) is required to provide prior notice of intention of intervention, and full detailed technical information, have due regard for the concerns of the lower riparian states, advance consultations, and accept the principle of avoidance of 'substantial harm' or 'significant injury' to the lower riparian area.</p>

<p>"The US and other partners could use international legal arguments suggesting that China must act with greater cooperation and transparency to safeguard India and Bangladesh," the ASPI report said.&nbsp;</p>
