The Kishanga Dam project is a construction of the Kishanganga hydroelectric power plant on the Kishanganga River (or Neelum in Pakistan.) started in 2007 intending to divert water from the river through an underground tunnel to a powerhouse near Bonor Nallah in an Indian-administered territory. The project is seen as giving India control over the river's flow before it enters Pakistan due to its location in Kashmir being just meters away from the line of control. The expected impact of water availability on Pakistan argued that the project would reduce downstream water flow into Pakistan and leave them with 27% less water than natural flow. Consequently, this would affect irrigation, agriculture, and power generation downstream at Pakistan's Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric power plant.

Damages to local ecology and livelihoods of the people who lived near the site in Jammu and Kashmir to mount protests against its constructions. Dams often overload occupied land, displace communities, and create inequalities in wealth and natural resources.

Local committees have opposed the construction of the dam. Protests primarily attacked the low amount of compensation offered for a loss of 38 hectares of land. Still, problems also existed with communities over how political claims for compensation overran attempts to block the project entirely.

Over the past two decades, Pakistan has tried to block multiple attempts to prevent India from building dams on both the Chenab and the Neelum rivers.

From this continuous opposition to the upstream dam projects, it could be likely that Pakistan and India will have conflicts over the river resources and the dam projects being built. Adding to this Pakistan and India also have been at war several times before adding to the likelihood of more conflicts happening.

At the same time, the two countries are also competing to build infrastructure along the border, which is also known as the "Line of Actual Control". India's construction of a new road to a high-altitude air base is seen as one of the main triggers for a deadly 2020 clash with Chinese troops.

Despite military-level talks between the countries, this tension continues. In December 2022 the troops clashed for the first time in more than one year near the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh state, the eastern tip of India. This caused some soldiers to have minor injuries.

The two countries have fought only one war, in 1962, when India suffered a defeat but simmering tensions involve the risk of escalation which can be devastating because both China and India are established nuclear powers there could also be a fallout in the economy as China is one of India's biggest trading partner.

The military standoff is shown by growing political tension between Chinese President Xin Ji Ping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Even though a war or other smaller conflicts might happen, it might not be too likely because both of the countries have much too lose.

In 1915 Gandhi returned to India from South Africa at the invitation from one of the leaders of the INC. (Indian National Congress) Initially, Gandhi refused to be involved in politics but the harsh methods the British were using forced him to begin organizing demonstrations, protests, and boycotts. Because of the number of people in India who were already angry about Britain's refusal to hand over meaningful power to Indians despite the amount of Indians fighting to defend Britain during World War One.

Gandhi promoted non-violent civil obedience campaigns in response to the Amritsar Massacre (The massacre by British forces of Indians gathered for a peaceful demonstration at Armitsar in 1919.) These campaigns continued until 1922 when Gandhi called them off due to his fear of non-violent solutions not being realized yet.

In 1930, Gandhi returned with his most ingenious protest, The Salt March. The British had been taxing salt in India for decades but this hurt the poorest people most. To show the world the injustice of this rule, Gandhi marched to the coast with a large number of people to symbolically collect salt from the sea without paying any tax to the British.

In 1942, Gandhi launched his final campaign, the Quit India campaign. The aim was very simple; Indians would make India ungovernable to the British and they would have no choice but to leave because there'd be no way of controlling India.

This resulted in the Indian National Congress (INC) withdrawing its support for British reforms following the Rowlatt Act of March 18, 1919. The movement was one of Gandhi's first organized acts of large-scale satyagraha. Gandhi's planning of the non-cooperation movement included persuading all Indians to withdraw their labor from any activity that "sustained the British government and also economy in India," Including British industries and educational institutions. Through non-violent or ahimsa, protesters would refuse to buy British goods, and adopt the use of local handicrafts and picket liquor shops. In addition to promoting self-reliance by spinning Khadi, buying Indian-made goods only, and boycotting British goods. The non-cooperation movement for Indian independence from British rule ended, as Nehru described in his autobiography, "suddenly" on 4 February 1922 after the Chauri Chaura incident. Subsequent independence movements were the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Quit India Movement.

As nonviolent resistance is becoming more popular, we can see more protests, boycotts, or other actions to confront an opponent instead of using violence.

For non-cooperation/civil disobedience, the goal of the non-cooperation movement was to demand the status of the non-dominium status from the British government. The movement was very widespread in its geographical extent and mass participation. However, none of the movements could achieve their objectives, their real effectiveness lay in the political mobilization of the masses and half-hearted constitutional reforms extended by the British government.

After the British colonized India, a new twist was added to the tax and buy system. If a person wants to buy goods from India, they had to use special Council Bills that was in controlled by the British Crown only. The traders had to pay London in gold or silver to obtain the bills. The Indians then were paid in rupees from tax revenues when they cashes the bills. At the end, the british edned up with all the gold and silver that could have gone directly for them for their benefits of exportations. This represents that a portion of India's wealth could have been used to develop India if it hasn't been extracted by the Britain.

To avoid disruptions in the tea market and trade system, the British decided to turn to India as a source of tea production instead. The tea cultivation involved a lot of intensive labors, there were indeeds slaves that were used as laborers. However, slavery was banned in the British empire at the time so indentured laborers were brought instead of slaves. But even though they're not called slaves, the conditions for the workers are not much better and the difference between slavery and indentured workers is not a big difference. But by this, the economic of Britain was expanded due to the trade system growth and the successful routes of India tea exports. It also boosted the reputation of British merchants involved in the trade.

The Britain took goods and valuable items from India which supported them with building significant infrastructure like railways, bridges, roads, and transportation. These infrastructure not only help British citizens but also supported trade and commerce.

After extracting a lot of Indian goods, the British applied economic policies that transformed India's economy. They introduced source of cash crops like tea, coffee, cotton and more resources which also became major exports from India. Britain also made an establishment of forming a formal banking system and industrialization under British rule laid for groundwork for economic growth. To be able to take control over the Indian and take their resources, the Britain imprisoned hundreds of soldiers and civilians in a cramped up, heated room without any ventilation causing many Indians to die.

Overall, the Britain gained goods and items from India. They used it to build infrastructures and to extend the relationships between other countries using trade and commerce. The British also expanded their economy with the goods they have.

Impact to the Indian:

India were known for its thriving economy due to their trade and rich cultural heritage. The colonization of the British made a significant negative impact on the Indian's economy and society that stopped them from developing. Under the control of the British, Indian's wealth drained out though the extractions of resources, trades and heavy taxes. Even after all of the economic lost, it also impacted on the exploitation of labor. The colonization left permanent impact on the Indian society that even continued after the day of their independence. Overall, the Indian have been deeply impacted by the Britain colonizing them taking goods and affecting their economies and society.
