The Indian Subcontinent is represented globally as a battlefield of border disputes among nations. Indeed, India itself has been involved several times in military clashes with its two nuclear-armed neighbours, China and Pakistan. Amidst armed conflicts, these nuclear armed nations have ignored many critical issues such as emerging climatic challenges and their repercussions – which represent most severe threats for the entire Subcontinent. India’s position in this Subcontinent is unique – as it is neither as great a power as China, nor is it a weak country like Bhutan, Nepal, or Afghanistan. It also shares boundaries with most countries in the Hindukush-Himalayan region (HKH). Emerging issues such as water security provide an impetus for New Delhi to carve out a diplomatic niche for itself while looking for consensus-building so as to overcome these problems. India has to make a choice between its territorial sovereignty and climate and water security. The situation is thought-provoking for Indian diplomats aiming towards a win-win situation in confidence-building and leadership. This paper provides analyses why India needs to prioritise water over boundaries.
