evidence: India and Pakistan have had a troubled history that is riddled with skirmishes, conflicts, and wars, which for the most part have stemmed from territorial disputes and threat perceptions. Sir Creek is one of those territorial disputes that is yet to be resolved. Even though over the course of history both sides have come close to settling the matter, a resolution has remained elusive. Unfortunately, climate change is now making the issue more complex and impacting its core dynamics. [...] The Sir Creek dispute exists over a 96 km long stretch of water in the marshlands of the Rann of Kutch in the Indus River.[1] It falls along the border of the Sindh province (Pakistan) and the state of Rajasthan (India). At the core of the dispute is a colonial history, as has been the case with other territorial disputes between post-colonial states, and it stems from two different interpretations of where the boundary lies between Kutch and Sindh. During colonial times, Sindh was part of the Bombay Presidency in pre-partition India.[2] Later, Sindh became part of Pakistan after the country’s independence but the dispute over the boundary delimitation along Sir Creek and subsequent maritime boundary delimitation was not settled in that process of decolonization and has continued to date.[3] [...] References [1] Rashid Khan, "Sir Creek: The Origin and the Development of the Dispute between Pakistan and India," IPRI Journal 7, no. 2(Summer 2007): 1.
