The Indus River in South Asia flows without acknowledging political bounds. It flows over Tibet, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and lastly falls into Arabian Sea near Karachi in Sindh province. Indus is one of the most ancient rivers of the Indian Subcontinent. After the partition of 1947 it became reason for dispute between two newly born states, India and Pakistan. The upper riparian of river flows through India, however, it forms main source of freshwater for Pakistan. Considering the rift over the sharing of river water and its strategic location in South Asia, it becomes an important case to understand the water sharing disputes between India and Pakistan. The present paper aims at understanding the background of water sharing dispute, reasons and proposals of Indus water treaty. Paper also looks into the challenges which treaty has faced over the course of its implementation and promises which it offers to the region.
