| Summary/Abstract |
The Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) signed in 1960 between India and Pakistan despite its robustness is, in the current political context, troubled. Well-wishers of the Treaty, like those who champion for India and Pakistan dialogue, often dub it as “uninterrupted and uninterruptible”. The World Bank, as a third party which was pivotal in crafting the IWT, continues to take particular pride in it, albeit with a sense of trepidation that the Treaty continues to function. The role of India, as a responsible upper riparian state abiding by the provisions of the Treaty, is remarkable; but it is under pressure to rethink the extent to which it can commit itself to the Treaty in the context of its overall political relations with Pakistan becoming intractable. It is also important to underline that if the Treaty has remained “uninterrupted”, it is because India allows it to function. This also goes to suggest that the Treaty can become Quidquid voverat atque promiserat if India wants it to. However, for this to be even considered, a number of politico-security and hydrological factors need to be determined needed to rescind the IWT in which India has invested politically and financially over the last sixty years..

| Summary/Abstract |
This Communication Article proposes that if the Bandung Spirit is to be revived in the twenty-first century, then this will necessitate an appreciation in the first instance of how different the world is today from conditions 60 years ago – both across the Global South but also, more particularly, in the West. The key shift may have been one from an assertive imposition of rule based on a clarity of vision and purpose, to a more insecure and reactive form of engagement that lacks direction.
