| 7 | China’s construction of a mega dam on the Brahmaputra (Yarlung Tsangpo) poses multiple strategic, environmental, and diplomatic challenges for India.
Key Issues and Concerns:
- Vital Resource: The Brahmaputra is key for India’s Northeast—crucial for agriculture, drinking water, ecology, and livelihoods.
- Dam Capacity & Flow: China's project potentially diverts a large volume of water, exceeding even the Three Gorges Dam; possible disruption of river flow and ecological balance in downstream regions.
- Seismic Risk: The dam is located in a highly earthquake-prone Himalayan zone, increasing chances of disaster.
- Unilateralism by China:
- Construction without prior consultation or information sharing with India.
- Poor track record of sharing hydrological data, especially during floods/disasters.
- No formal water-sharing treaty or institutional framework, unlike with Pakistan (Indus Waters Treaty).
- Strategic/ Security Risks:
- Lack of transparency may allow water to be “weaponized” during diplomatic standoffs or conflict.
- Chinese precedent of similar unilateral behavior in the Mekong basin.
- Diplomatic Deficit: Absence of effective, regular mechanisms for dialogue, data exchange, or conflict resolution.
Suggested Policy Response for India:
- Assertive Diplomacy: Raise the issue proactively at bilateral, regional, and international platforms—communicate red lines clearly.
- Institutional Mechanisms: Propose creation of a joint river commission for transparent data sharing and prior project notification.
- Regional Alliance: Coordinate with other affected downstream countries to push for adherence to global river governance norms.
- Domestic Resilience: Strengthen water management, storage infrastructure, and disaster preparedness in the Northeast.
India must blend robust diplomacy, institutional cooperation, and domestic preparedness to safeguard its water and security interests. | 0 |

| 14 | Introduction:
The Continental Drift Theory, proposed by German meteorologist Alfred Wegener in 1912, suggests that continents were once part of a single massive landmass called Pangaea. Over millions of years, this supercontinent split apart, and the fragments drifted to their present locations. This theory was a precursor to the modern concept of plate tectonics.
Prominent Evidences Supporting the Theory:
1. Jigsaw Fit of Continents: The coastlines of South America and Africa appear to fit together like puzzle pieces.
Example: The eastern bulge of Brazil aligns with the western coast of Africa.
2. Fossil Evidence: Identical fossils found on now-separated continents.
Example: Fossils of Mesosaurus (a freshwater reptile) are found in both South America and Africa.
Glossopteris (a fern) fossils are found in India, Australia, Antarctica, etc.
3. Geological Evidence: Similar rock formations and mountain ranges found on different continents.
Example: Appalachian Mountains (USA) match with the Caledonian Mountains (Scotland and Scandinavia).
4. Paleoclimatic Evidence: Glacial deposits (tillites) found in now tropical regions.
Example: Glacial striations found in India, Africa, and Australia—regions now in tropical latitudes.
5. Distribution of Coal and Minerals: Presence of coal in Antarctica indicates it once had a warm, tropical climate.
Supports the theory of landmass shifting over time.
Conclusion:
While Wegener’s theory lacked a mechanism (which was later explained by Plate Tectonics), it was crucial in shaping the modern understanding of Earth's dynamic crust.
