The rivers flows through Ladakh and then Indian Kashmir before flowing to Pakistan. That is not mentioned inthe article. The river is not listed in the list of Indian rivers where it rightfully needs to be included

[edit] Factual Errors Re. 'Modern Issues and Indus Waters Treaty'

In the section 'Modern Issues' the claim was made "India had gained control of the mouth of the river after the first Kashmir war" ! Well, India never had control of the mouth to start with - it has always been in Pakistan - the Indus delta. I am not sure if the author understands what the 'mouth' of a river implies. Another claim that was made in this section was that the Pakistan government was allowing Hindu temples on its banks. Now talk about living in a cloud cuckoo land! In the section 'Indus Waters Treaty' reference was made to the Baghlighar hydroelectric project. The implication was that this was on the Indus - which it is not case, it is projected to be on the Chenab in the Jammu region, and does not involve diversion of water for irrigation. It is my understanding that the Indus Waters Treaty allows for this kind of usage. The general tone of the article conveys the impression of India somehow scheming to dam, divert or otherwise harness the waters of the Indus to the detriment of Pakistan. As anybody who has been to the upper reaches of Ladakh and Zanskar (the regions through which the Indus flow in India) can tell you, India has a snowball's chance in hell of being able to make use of the Indus' water.njfhjfhftjgfjgt
