Question:

Indus Water Treaty of 1960 was signed between which of the following?

Options:

India and Bangladesh

India and Afghanistan

India and Nepal

India and Pakistan

Correct Answer:

India and Pakistan

Explanation:

The Kashmir conflict did not prevent cooperation between the governments of India and Pakistan. Both governments worked together to restore the women abducted during Partition to their original families. A long-term dispute about the sharing of river waters was resolved through mediation by the World Bank. The India-Pakistan Indus Waters Treaty was signed by Nehru and General Ayub Khan in 1960. Despite all ups and downs in Indo-Pak relations, this treaty has worked well.
