River-linking plan worries neighbors
India's neighbors unhappy with the river-linking plan (Asia Times Online)
Both Nepal and Bangladesh are worried that the project to link all the major rivers in India will affect them adversely.
An interesting tidbit from the article:
Bhutan's worries are several, but a 1949 friendship pact prevents it from publicly airing its grievances against New Delhi. That seems to be a pretty restrictive 'friendship' pact.
