Historical accounts often describe the Indus(River flows from India to Pakistan) as 'mighty'.And mighty it has mostly been.defeating Alexander the Great and his rampaging army and Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The British successfully tamed the Indus,building the world's largest canal-based irrigation system and providing succor to millions. But the once-mighty Indus is now shrinking rapidly , courtesy climate change, bad irrigation practices and an exponential increase in population. In addition Islamabad accuses India of curtailing flow of river into Pakistan.
