I am personally against dams like this. Especially this one is so complex. Taking all the material there will be difficult and costly. Not worth it for hydropower. This will never payoff the investment.

But I think China is doing this dam to have leverage over India.

Not anything is about India and frankly speaking just mentioning that country name is an insult for this prestigious project.

Your take is in the right direction, but you need to think a little deeper, my young friend. Polish your thoughts!

If and when India balkanizes, India as we know it will very likely cease to exist.

the late Lee Kuan Yew:
India is not a real country. Instead, it is 32 separate nations that happen to be arrayed along the British rail line. The British came, conquered, established the Raj, incorporated under their rule an amalgam of 175 princely states, and ruled them with 1,000 Englishmen and several tens of thousands of Indians brought up to behave like English.

Should India fracture — which is plausible in the long term as His Excellency hinted to — there will be no India for China to improve relations with.

Lastly, however controversial these words are to the ears of Indians — especially those who self-identify as Hindutva — they were

China's government is never interested in winology. This project has nothing to do with India. The fact that Indians think It's a good idea to use their dam to score some cheap domestic political points really shows why they will never make it.

Well there would be a Hindustan in northern India that speaks Hindi as the remnant core, much like Russia was the remnant core of the Soviets.

Dravidia would go its own way and in fact even historical Indian kingdoms rarely unified southern India.

The scenario you've proposed is completely reasonable, even if it's impossible to predict with much certainty if, when and how India will balkanize.

Not sure if the name India will persist, especially should more Indians realize that the term was effectively imposed upon their ancestors by Europeans.

Let's consider a slightly more imminent question: if India does balkanize sooner rather than later, say before the half way point of this century, the year 2050, what will likely trigger such a process?
